EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick has reportedly been in a ‘secret feud’ with his former co-star Danielle Harold.
The Lola Pearce actress played Jamie’s on-screen wife until two years ago when she passed away from a glioblastoma brain tumour. Her storyline also saw her have a one-night stand with her third cousin once removed Ben Mitchell, her fight to keep newborn daughter Lexi out of care and more.
Jamie and Danielle regularly attended red carpet events together over the years, with fans watching their friendship on social media. However, it was recently reported the two were in a secret feud after it was noticed the two unfollowed each other on Instagram last week.
It comes as it was claimed Danielle and co-star Max Bowden were in a secret relationship for a number of years before their split. A source said: “Danielle and Max dated for a number of years. Of course, it was known among the EastEnders cast and everyone thought they were sweet together.”

The source claimed the relationship ‘didn’t end on the best terms’ before noting they no longer follow each other on Instagram. Both Jamie and Max don’t follow Danielle. She also doesn’t follow the duo. The Mirror have reached out to their representatives for comment.
Max previously paid tribute to his co-star Danielle on Instagram following her EastEnders exit, writing: “Watching you work so closely every day has been inspiring but hasn’t quite topped being your friend.” Since leaving the soap, Danielle appeared on I’m A Celebrity along with other TV ventures like The Weakest Link and Celebrity Hunted last year.
She recently reunited with her ex-co-star Max for a special Celebrity Antiques Road Trip to celebrate the 40th anniversary of EastEnders. Danielle and Max teamed up to search for valuable treasures while enjoying plenty of laughs.
While promoting their episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, which aired on Valentine’s Day, Danielle spoke about her bond with Max, saying: “With EastEnders, our storylines are really heavy and really sad.” When expert Ishy Khan remarked, “You can tell there’s love there,” she responded, “Yeah, there is. He loves me really. He pretends like he doesn’t, but he does.”
Meanwhile, back in 2023, Max revealed that Lola’s brain tumour storyline has been the “hardest thing he’s ever dealt with” following the devastating d.e.a.t.h of his best friend.
