Danielle Harold's mum Lisa Marie Carter has flown into Brisbane to support her daughter
The mum of Danielle Harold says she feels she is "sharing her with everyone" now viewers are seeing her daughter for herself and not an EastEnders character. Actor Danielle played Lola Pearce-Brown in two stints in Albert Square lasting over a decade.
Her mum Lisa Marie Carter said: "It’s been good she’s doing really, really well, I knew she would be determined. A lot of people in there aren’t themselves in their jobs but when you’re playing someone for so long, it’s really difficult to switch off but she’s a really caring person.
Danielle's mum has arrived in Brisbane (Tim Merry/Mirror Express)"It is a bit weird watching her as herself on TV, it is almost like we are sharing her with everyone." Asked if 31-year-old Danielle could win, she added: "If she just keeps being herself, she’s very caring.
"She's already a winner in my eyes anyway, I'm really proud. I don’t know how she does it with the trials, I’m not good at heights and she’s inspired me to jump on a plane and get out here.

"I knew she would give it a good go but I am a bit surprised at how much she has thrown herself into it. She was anxious going in. I am not worried now though because I can see she looks happy and she is enjoying herself."
Lisa praised her brave daughter (Tim Merry/Mirror Express)Lisa Marie also told how Danielle had rejected one of the meals in camp as it had reminded her of her pet back home.
She explained: "Absolutely no way she would be eating that hare, the rest of the stuff she would have a go, but not the hare. She has a rabbit that she adored and it’s like her little baby really so she just wouldn’t eat that.
"The rabbit is called Sonny, Sonny the bunny and he is being looked after by her dad and friends, he is being very well cared for!"
