More info Daniela Nardini, who became a household name as lawyer Anna Forbes in the 1996 BBC2 hit series This Life, is now barely recognisable from her days on screen. The actress, who also graced episodes of the Scottish crime drama Taggart, was close to quitting acting before securing her role in the acclaimed sitcom. This Life, which spanned 33 episodes and 11 years, followed a group of aspiring law graduates navigating their careers at a London law firm. The show enjoyed two successful series and a sequel TV movie in 2007 titled This Life +10. Daniela's portrayal of Anna won her a BAFTA at the age of 57, but she later chose to leave the limelight and now runs her own cognitive behavioural therapy practice in Glasgow. Her second BAFTA came in 2009 for her performance in the BBC Four drama New Town. Daniela's career also included roles in Vera, Waterloo Road, and The Fades, until she stepped back from acting in 2019, reports the Express. Pursuing a new direction, Daniela trained as a mental health professional, offering support to individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, behavioural issues, and those affected by cancer and addiction. Three decades after her breakout role, Daniela has transformed remarkably, embracing a fresh chapter in her life. In a Psychology Today profile, she reflects on her extensive acting career, stating: "I have worked as an actress for over 35 years. (Image: BBC) "This has been an invaluable education for me to study what it is to be human and how we can all suffer at times and feel misunderstood and lonely. "I myself have struggled at times. My practice involves helping you gain insight, clarity and believe it or not humour at times. I don't shock easily so I won't judge." Speaking with the Daily Mail in 2020, she shared her personal tribulations saying: " went through a very dark period. Sometimes I wonder if it was all the emotional stuff I was going through that caused my cancer.'" She added: "A couple of years down the road, I now feel as if I've emerged stronger and a better person, really. Anna would be proud."

She revealed on Instagram that she had celebrated her hen do with her bridesmaids ahead of her impending wedding. Malia posted a snap alongside her bridesmaids with the caption: "The best day #bridesmaidsquad." She wore a white mini-dress for the occasion with her pals all donning party headbands emblazoned with the word "bridesmaid". A balloon and floral decoration also appeared to give away that Malia will be tying the knot next June. Malia is engaged to her footballer fiancé Hope Akpan, who plays midfield for Atherton Laburnum Rovers. Rachel Fenton enters Love Island 2016 with Malia Arkian, and it doesn't go down well with ladies in the villa He has also played for the likes of Crawley Town, Reading, Blackburn Rovers and Bradford City.

Love Island's big bust-up Malia was removed from the villa after just a few hours in 2016 thanks to her fiery altercation with Kady McDermott. The Manchester native had been on a date with Scott Thomas - who had been getting close with Kady in the days prior. It left Kady feeling on edge as Scott failed to reassure her following his date with Malia. Kady and Scott began to row but things later settled down as Malia went to chat to the girls. Kady then made the effort to sit next to Malia to make her feel welcome and included but things soon went awry. As Kady then accidently dropped her drink, causing it to splash on Malia's leg, Malia stood up enraged and asked: "Did you do that on purpose?" Malia then began screaming to a bewildered group of Islanders as she insisted "you don't do that with me!" As Kady began to defend herself and argue back, Malia soon got handsy as she turned the altercation physical before being thrown out. 6 6 6
