The 27-year-old beauty is looking forward to spending the romantic occasion with her fellow single friends Ferne McCann and Jess Wright following the split from her on/off boyfriend and co-star James 'Lockie' Lock last year.

She said: "I will be out with the girls, me and Jess are going out for dinner, I think Ferne as well for Valentine's Day this year."

Despite their emotional split, Danielle has admitted she and Lockie are on "good terms" and are keen to remain friends.

She said: "We are good, we are friends, both single but we get on. We are actually friends, it's strange. At the minute we won't be getting back together. But we both get on very well. There is always chance for a cheeky kiss when she shoot the new series of 'TOWIE' this month but no, I don't think so."

However, although she has 'TOWIE' to thank for a lot of things, the blonde beauty thinks she and Lockie would still be together if they hadn't gone on the reality TV show.

She said: "I think me and James would probably still be together if it weren't for the show. When we dated [before 'TOWIE'], he was an electrician and I worked in fashion and he would come and meet me in his white van and I would bring him sandwiches. Then we went on 'TOWIE'."
