EastEnders’ Danielle Harold speaks out after The One Show accused of ‘snubbing’ her on air | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

EastEnders star Danielle Harold has insisted all is well following her appearance on The One Show on Tuesday after many accused the show of snubbing her. The 30-year-old, who plays Lola Pearce in the BBC soap, was interviewed by hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas about her current cancer storyline in which her character is battling a terminal brain tumour.

The actress told the presenters she felt she had a “massive responsibility” portraying such a storyline, due to the high number of people affected.

She said: “I didn’t realise just how many that it does (affect) and just how little awareness there is and just how little funding there actually is for brain tumour research as well.

“So, to touch on this story, it really means a lot to me and the show.”

Danielle was joined on the show by Gabby Logan, who recently opened up about her husband Kenny’s prostate cancer battle, which he has since recovered from.

Despite the backlash, the soap star seemingly enjoyed her time on the show as she thanked them for booking her as a guest.

Danielle shared The One Show’s clip of her talking to the hosts on Twitter, in view of her 189,000 followers.

While she didn’t address the backlash, she wrote: “Thank you for having me.”

The Walford resident was told she had a terminal brain tumour after collapsing following a dizzy spell.
