In incredibly sad and final scenes to air this evening on BBC One, the actress bids a tragic farewell to her on-screen family including husband Jay, played by Jamie Borthwick and grandad Billy, played by Perry Fenwick.

She recently joined both in a video shared to the official EastEnders Facebook page, reminiscing and watching old re-runs of Lola's best bits from over the years at Albert Square.

In the video, Danielle revealed a secret that happened behind-the-scenes on Lola and Jay's final day trip to Margate. She said: "I can show you this guys, so whilst we were filming in Margate, okay, we might have had a little cheeky souvenir that we took back from Margate." Lifting the leg of her trouser to reveal the dainty inking, the added: "Some of the crew had it done as well," before Jamie added, "We got a little tattoo." Danielle touchingly added: "So we will never, ever forget Margate or EE." The sweet and delicate tattoo depicts the wiggly line of the River Thames, famously seen in the opening credits of the BBC soap.
