EastEnders makes me feel like a rockstar!
Danielle Harold says she’s only just getting used to the fame that comes as part of the job when you sign up to EastEnders.
And the actress, who plays young mum Lola Pearce, is loving every second of it.
She says she was stunned when she was surrounded by fans during a recent location shoot.
“All these kids were chanting: ‘We want Lola!’ It was like being a rock star,” she laughed.
“But then Steve McFadden arrived and it changed to: ‘We want Phil!’”
While she may be happy to get attention from fans, Danielle is keeping a sensible head on her shoulders after making the decision never to discuss her private life.
She explained to TV Magazine: “I keep my relationships private. It’s actually quite scary getting recognised, so it’s nice to keep part of my life the same as before. I never wanted to be famous, I just wanted to act.”

I won’t let my kids watch gang scenes
Patsy Palmer says she won’t let her kids watch upcoming scenes in EastEnders because they could be too upsetting.
Fans will see her Walford character Bianca Jackson take on a gang that have recruited her son Liam.
Bianca will storm round to a local estate to try and get Liam away from their clutches.
Although the scenes have been given the green light to be shown before the watershed, Patsy says she won’t let her sons watch.
She said: “I’m not sure I’m going to let them watch these episodes. My 12-year-old boy is quite sensitive so I think he’d be a bit scared.
“I think my two-year-old quite likes EastEnders – at the moment he plays this game where he points at the screen and says, “name?” And I say, “EastEnders name or real name?” The other day I brought him in to work and he pointed at Shane Richie and said, “Alfie!”
“So he’s working it all out. I must look quite scary to him when he sees me on the telly, what with all the shouting and the outfit and the earrings. Especially the earrings.”
Bianca maybe struggle to keep control of her son but Patsy reckons she knows what the secret is.
She told Radio Times: “As a parent, I think you need to be firm and stick to it. But I am married and that is a massive factor because I have the support of my husband. But I still find it hard even though I live in a nice place and I’ve got this really good job.
“So God help people in Bianca’s position who don’t have that support.”

Never watched eastenders
Lacey Turner has revealed that she has rarely watched EastEnders.
The actress played Stacey Slater on the BBC soap from 2004 to 2010. She explained that she didn't like watching herself while she was in the soap, and still does not tune in today.
"Now I mostly watch TV at night, in bed after a cup of hot chocolate, and at the moment I'm really, really into The Following with Kevin Bacon."
The Our Girl actress also spoke about her upbringing, and how it helped her land a leading role on EastEnders.
She said: "When I was 14, I worked on a market stall near where it's filmed. I used to see the actors drive past and say to my mum, 'I'm telling you, I can do that!'
"So it's weird that I ended up playing Stacey who also sold clothes on the market, although she was better at it than I was."
Turner will play molly in Tony Grounds's single 90-minute drama Our Girl, a film about a woman who joins the Royal Army Medical Corps and heads to the war in Afghanistan. It airs on March 24 at 9pm on BBC One.
Ricky Norwood - who plays Fatboy in EastEnders - recently called for Turner to return to the soap as Stacey.
