She is of course the wife of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), who had an illicit affair with Jason's brother Todd (Gareth Pierce) before it all came out.
After Sarah (Tina O'Brien) was caught lying for Todd, Danielle soon caught her husband kissing Todd.
Although he vowed to stick with his wife, their marriage has been struggling to survive and Theo's daughter soon turned up on the street to confront him.

JoJo Siwa signs up to reality show as she secretly films in the UK after reuniting with CBB star Chris Hughes
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHE was the standout star of this year's Celebrity Big Brother thanks to her surprising romance with a housemate. Now JoJo Siwa, who started a relationship with Chris Hughes while she was on the ITV show, is about to compete on the Great British Bake Off.

A TV insider said: "This is a bit of a coup for the Bake Off because Jojo is currently one of the most talked about young stars on TV right now. "She's barely had time to catch her breath, leaving CBB last month amid huge media attention and heading straight into another huge show this month. "It's also a fantastic gig for her because although she already has a fanbase over here, the cookery contest also introduces her to a wider British audience. "Plus she got plenty of experience of cooking in front of the cameras while she was on Celebrity Big brother, though this time she won't have hunky Chris to distract her." Jojo actually became famous for her dancing/baking Tiktoks on the social media site, though they're unlikely to help her much when she's doing it for real. The celebrity version of the Bake Off, whose participants have yet to be confirmed by C4, is being made just before filming of the "civilian" version. Jojo might end up wishing she was back in the house with Mickey Rorrke... The show kicks off this summer with Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond returning to host as well as Paul Hollywood coming back to give the celebs some serious scrutiny in the tent. Channel 4 star Prue Leith has stepped back from all GBBO specials, with cooking expert, and pal, Caroline Waldegrave filling her shoes. Last year, The Sun revealed how Prue had made the decision to step back from the Great British Bake Off specials and focus on the regular series. Channel 4 previously confirmed Prue's close friend Caroline would be taking over her role. Caroline, 72, is a former managing director of Leiths School of Food & Wine, which she bought from Prue in the mid-90s. Married to former Tory politician William Waldegrave, Lady Caroline has also co-written several successful cookery books.

Bruce Willis' daughter Rumer calls him her 'inspiration' amid battle with dementia
Rumer Willis, eldest daughter of Die Hard star Bruce Willis, has made a rare comment about her father during health battle. Rumer Willis has publically credited her dad for inspiring her to become an action star amid his heartbreaking battle with dementia. In 2023, Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Two years on and the Die Hard star is now "non-verbal" and requires care 24-hours a day. Back in 2022, the action hero decided to retire from acting after he was diagnosed with language disorder aphasia in March that year. One year later, his family confirmed that his disease had developed into FTD. This form of dementia has a typical life expectancy of six to eight years, however it can also be as low as two years in certain cases, reports the Mirror. Rumer, 36, is the oldest of Bruce's children, who he shares with actress Demi Moore. The couple were married from 1989 to 2000, and they also had two other daughters - Scout, 33 and Tallulah, 31. After their divorce, Bruce went on to marry British model Emma Heming and share two more daughters, Mabel Ray, 12 and Evelyn Penn, 10. Rumer has revealed that she is following in her dad's footsteps as she is making her way in the action genre. Her new movie, Trail of Vengeance, sees her play a disgruntled widow named Katherine Atherton, who is out to get revenge after her husband was murdered. In an interview with People magazine, she said: "My dad is such an action man. My mom's done her fair share [of action] as well." With her movie now in cinemas, Rumer added: "I felt like a little kid when I found out I got [this role]." As Bruce slowly loses his fight with dementia, Rumer makes sure that her two-year-old daughter Louetta spends as much time as she can with her grandad. A source previously said: "Rumer wants to make sure Louetta knows Bruce. "She wants him to be actively involved in Louetta's life. It's a very special bond. Rumer and her sisters love their dad so much. They are very conscious that any day could be his last." Despite the divorce, his ex-wife Demi is also making sure that Bruce and their daughters are looked after. Previously speaking to Variety, Demi said: "We will always be a family, just in a different form." She added: "I've shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely: It's so important for anybody who's dealing with this to really meet them where they're at. And from that place, there is such loving and joy." In a different interview with Town & Country magazine, Demi spoke of her ex-husband's diagnosis. She said: "Finally getting to a diagnosis was key so that I could learn what fronto-temporal dementia is and I could educate our children. I've never tried to sugarcoat anything for them." She has also spoken out about the best way she has found to take care of the 70-year-old action star: "The important thing is just to meet him where he's at, as opposed to being attached to who he was, how he was. "Because, again, that only just puts you in a place of loss versus being in the present, meeting him where he's at, and finding the joy and the loving of just all that is where he is."
