Danielle Harold's nan thought she was dating Bobby Brazier
The 31-year-old actress sparked speculation she'd struck up a romance with her former 'EastEnders' co-star after they were pictured looking cosy after the National Television Awards last year and though she insisted the 20-year-old actor was just being the "biggest gent" and came to her aid after she struggled to walk in her high-heeled shoes, even her grandmother thought they were a couple.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper's 'Invite Only' podcast: “Poor Bobby. He must think, ‘Oh look, I’m getting attached to this old bird’. I’m like, ‘Sorry Bobby, it keeps me looking young, so...'
“Bless him, he was just being the biggest gent that night (the pictures were taken) because I could not walk in my shoes at all. We were at the NTAs. And our car left us, like, all the way around the back.
“I said, ‘Bobby, I can’t, I can’t, listen, I can’t walk.’ He was like, ‘Yes, you can.’ He was just being a gent and now he gets named as my boyfriend every two minutes. Bless him. You just laugh, and go that’s just how it is.
"Even my nan thought I was with Bobby. She said, ‘That was a lovely picture of you and your new boyfriend. I was like, ‘No nan, I’m not going out with Bobby.’ She’s so sweet.”
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 explained: “I did have messages about cups of tea. Icame 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.”
