EastEnders star Danielle Harold is heading into the jungle on this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! following her heartbreaking exit from the hit BBC soap.
Danielle, 31, played the role of Lola Pearce in EastEnders since 2011 and in May this year, her character tragically passed away after her battle with a brain tumour. Viewers were left in tears at the emotional scenes and the actress went on to win huge praise for her portrayal of Lola, at the same time helping to raise awareness of cancer and the signs of brain tumours.
The soap star is now ready for her next venture and has headed Down Under to join the likes of Josie Gibson, Sam Thompson and Fred Sirieix on this year’s I’m A Celebrity. During her time in the jungle, the star could face discomfort having previously suffered from a long-term bladder condition.

Before shooting to fame on EastEnders, Danielle was diagnosed with a chronic bladder infection at 15 years old. The condition affected Danielle’s education and she left school with only one GCSE to her name, but as we know, this didn’t stop the star from reaching her goals.
While the actress has not gone into further detail about her exact bladder condition, Medline Plus explains that numerous conditions can affect the organs. Some of the most common bladder conditions include:
Cystitis – inflammation of the bladder, often from an infection Urinary incontinence – loss of bladder control Overactive bladder – a condition in which the bladder squeezes urine out at the wrong time Interstitial cystitis – a chronic problem that causes bladder pain and frequent, urgent urination.

Cystitis, a urinary tract infection (UTI) that also affects the bladder, is the first common problem. This can cause a number of painful and uncomfortable symptoms, some people suffer with them frequently.
Symptoms of cystitis include:
Pain, burning or stinging when you pee Needing to pee more often and urgently than usual Pee that’s dark, cloudy or strong-smelling Pain low down in your tummy.
Chronic (long-term) bladder infections or UTIs can mean that short-term antibiotics do not work and urine tests do not show an infection. They can be caused by bacteria entering the lining of the bladder, the NHS explains.
As urine tests do not always pick up chronic bladder infections with symptoms similar to other conditions, they can be hard to diagnose. However, they can be treated with antibiotics that you take for a long length of time.

They can have a big impact on your life so if you have been treated for a UTI but still have symptoms, speak to your GP and ask to be referred to a specialist. Having suffered from a chronic bladder infection before, there’s a chance Danielle could face cystitis during her time in the jungle.
This could mean an uncomfortable time for the star, although the I’m A Celebrity doctors will be on hand for any treatment required for the contestants, so she’s certainly in safe hands.
