Danielle Harold wants to star in a "crime thriller".

The former 'EastEnders' actress left the soap in May last year and, following a stint on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!', she's now looking for a new acting role and wants to follow in the footsteps of ex-'Coronation Street' star Michelle Keegan.

She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper's No Filter column: "Michelle Keegan in 'Fool Me Once' was so amazing.

"I'd love to do a crime thriller.

"I can't wait to get my head into another character."

Danielle won a string of awards for her portrayal of Lola, who died from a brain tumour, and she's finally found a use for her trophies.

She laughed: "You may catch me singing into them doing karaoke in my living room."

Following her stint on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' last year, Danielle was inundated with messages from men who were keen to woo her with a cup of tea.

She previously explained on the 'Invite Only' podcast: “I did have messages about cups of tea. I came out and I was like, ‘What?’

“I had just come out of the jungle, so didn’t really go on my phone too much, I just sort of had a quick look, and saw ‘tea, tea, tea, Yorkshire tea’ and said, ‘What’s with this tea business, Mum?’

“Tony Bellew did a secret mission in the camp and he had to pretend to write a love song to his wife Rachael, and he was going to sing it. I was there embracing the love. But then I just said, ‘I can’t even get someone to get me a cup of tea.’ And then, yeah. I was hoping I’d actually get sent some boxes of tea (by admirers), but that hasn’t happened yet.”
