Danielle Harold has credited TV show Jamie's Dream School, fronted by chef Jamie Oliver, fo helping her to kickstart her acting career and landing her big break in EastEnders
Danielle Harold has opened up about the beginning of her acting career, revealing her appearance on Jamie's Dream School ultimately led to her landing her big break on EastEnders.
“I was so determined,” Danielle told The Sun. “I queued for 11 hours to audition for the part of Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter and they literally closed the barrier on me, the last kid waiting." She chose to appear on the show, which aired in 2011. Jamie's Dream School helped a group of teenagers who all had less than give GCSEs and put them into a school where they would be taught by celebrities, who each specialised in a specific subject.
Danielle first appeared on screen as Lola Pearce in 2011 and remained on the soap until 2015, when she took a break. She returned in 2019 and remained in Albert Square until May 2023, when Lola heartbreakingly passed away from a brain tumour.
