Former EastEnders starĀ Danielle HaroldĀ has confirmed her relationship status ā€“ one year on from discussing her dating struggles onĀ Iā€™m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

The actress, 32, playedĀ Lola PearceĀ on theĀ BBCĀ soap across two stints between 2011 and 2023, but has continued to make video appearances since.

In heartbreaking scenes, Lola passed away from glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain tumour, with her husbandĀ JayĀ (Jamie Borthwick) and daughter Lexi (Isabella Brown) by her side.

During an episode of ITV lunchtime panel show Loose Women last year, DanielleĀ shut down rumoursĀ that she was dating The Only Way is Essex star Pete Wicks.

ā€˜No, weā€™ve been laughing so much. Bless himā€™ she said.

ā€˜We come out and you go out with all the friends and family, but me and Pete are just good friends. Have been for years, but weā€™ve been having a good giggle about it.ā€™

WhilstĀ in the famous Australian camp, sheā€™d admitted that sheā€™d had a ā€˜hard timeā€™ to get ā€˜a guy to buy [her] a cuppa.ā€™

Now, in a new interview, she has opened up about her romantic life one year on.

ā€˜Iā€™m still single. Iā€™m a bit of a home bird so donā€™t go out that muchā€™ she admitted.

ā€˜But, when I do, I never get chatted up.ā€™

Continuing toĀ The Sun, Danielle added that her line about being unable to get someone to buy her a brew led to a number of fellas flooding into her Instagram direct messages.

ā€˜I had a lot of DMs when I came out of the jungle from guys asking me if I wanted a cup of teaā€™ she said.

ā€˜At first I thought, ā€œWhat?ā€ Then I realised it was because of what Iā€™d said and it had become this huge thing. It even became a meme.ā€™

She added: ā€˜I was telling one of my best friends the other day, ā€œWell, youā€™ll never guess who slipped into my DMs?ā€ā€˜

ā€˜She got all excited, but no, it was McVitieā€™s chocolate biscuits. She was absolutely cracking up. We both were. Iā€™m not even joking.

ā€˜Iā€™ve had Oreos get in touch with me, too. Thatā€™s who Iā€™m chatting to in my DMs.ā€™
