An ex-model who became 'famous overnight' has a completely different job - where she now shares her cleaning tips and tricks.

While her job as a former Page 3 model allowed her to "travel the world" and "meet cool people", her life couldn't be any more different now.

Danielle Mason, 39, says that she has decided to take a completely different path in life, now that she is nearing 40.

And after having children, the mum says that her focus on life has changed.

The model, from Ascot, has opened up about her previous job - which she got into years ago - after her sister knew an agent who managed Katie Price at the time, reports Daily Star.

Just after one meeting, by the end of the week the 39-year-old found herself on the front covers of various tabloids across the UK.

But despite having such a glamorous career and having her face plastered across different papers, things have completely changed for Danielle.

As she was known for being the sister of Eastenders actress, Jessie Wallace, there was a lot of interest to get Danielle booked in for photoshoots.

Recalling what it was like when she first hit the headlines, she said: "My phone broke where so many people messaged me.

"There was not a lot of social media at the time so publications were huge.

"I got a lot of bookings for work after that and was flat out working hard.

"I got to travel the world with all the top models at the time, went to all the best parties with premiership footballers and met loads of cool people."

While jetting off abroad was the best part of her career, life is very different for Danielle now.

Although she occasionally does a photoshoot, she is now a mum and her focus on life has changed completely, saying: "My kids don’t like it as they’re older now and don’t really want to see their mum in her bra and knickers for all their mates to look at.

"I think, as I’m 40 this year, it’s time to reign it in and take my career seriously."

Danielle decided to try her hand at presenting a few years back, and a producer asked if she had any hobbies at the time.

She informed them that she was into cleaning as she'd run her own business, and had been interested in housekeeping for the best part of 20 years.

Now, she has taken to incorporating her interests and hobbies into her TV work and publications.

The mum said said: "I’ve always done cleaning.

"I did a lot more when I was in the traveller community, and I picked up a lot of hacks from there watching my boyfriend’s mum do her cleaning.

"I learnt so much from them (my ex)."

She addded: "I started at a travel lodge when I was 15 - cleaning the rooms as some weekend pocket money.

"It was good for me as I could work it in, and around having the kids and my TV work."

Now Danielle works for Ideal World as a presenter and shows people new cleaning products that are hitting the shelves.

She said that her work perfectly aligns with her own own skills and knowledge, admitting that she is so happy that it "worked well".

"I’ve already been asked to bring out my own cleaning products along with TV production," she added.

"Companies are interested in me having my own show, but we’ll see what 2023 brings."
