She went on to be a presenter on Channel 4's music show The Word for five years. Dani became a lads' favourite and later moved to the US to continue presenting over there. Following brief stints on I'm A Celebrity and Come Dine With Me, she embarked on a new career as a luxury real estate agent. In this role, the TV legend lets out and manages property for the Hollywood elite. Fans may have seen Dani appear on popular show Million Dollar Listing LA. She married restaurateur Carl Harwin in 2005, having two children, although the two went their separate ways nine years later. Speaking on White Wine Question Time in 2020, she revealed her full time switch to real estate came when on-screen work dried up - around the time of her 2014 divorce. Dani told Kate Thornton: "They don't have careers as presenters out here, like back home. "You're either a news journalist or a sportscaster or a late night comedian, those were the hosts of all the shows here and I didn't fit into any of those categories." Nineties TV star, 51, looks like she hasn't aged a day as she strips off to workout gear to show off her abs She already had ties to real estate industry - with her dad himself working in real estate while her mum is an interior designer. Dani therefore decided to study for real estate exams in order to obtain a license. She hosted a podcast titled The Behr Essentials for two years - focusing on her career in property. It comes as the TV legend looked unrecognisable last year while she striped off to workout gear for a fitness class. Taking to social media, Dani flaunted her stunning figure to her followers. She captioned the post: "I always get asked what I do to keep things tight and high and my secret weapon for the last ten years is Dance Cardio! "Love @manumoves class- always so fun, great music and a mighty sweat!! "You don't have to be in LA to participate - check out and sign up and start dancing at home!" 5 She appeared on I'm A Celebrity back in 2008 Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd

Posting to her 96,000 social media followers, the soap star shared a close up snap of her family's Shetland pony as she issued a desperate plea. She captioned the photo: "PLEASE HELP! Our family Shetland who is disabled has been STOLEN. "She had never been ridden, and she is old, has never been apart from her mum and she will be extremely stressed and anxious right now. She is a highly sensitive disabled rescue pony.' Luisa continued to plead with fans as she wrote: 'Please, if anyone sees this and lives in the EAST SUSSEX area… she was taken from Brightling… can you repost and put on your stories so we can get this seen. Thank you in advance.' Luisa's post was flooded with comments from fans as they sent messages of support. One person replied: 'Oh nooooo - how awful! I do hope you find her and that she's safely found and back home with you very soon." Another said: "Praying that you get her back safe and well." Luisa is yet to provide any updates on the situation but has re-shared her post to her Instagram stories, saying: 'WE NEED HER HOME.' Aside from her on-screen life, Luisa has been married to her long term partner Annette Yeo since 2015, with their two daughters acting as bridesmaids on their big day.

Stars of iconic noughties hit TV show reunite on This Morning – and fans can't believe how different one of them looks
THE stars of the racy noughties drama Footballers' Wives reunited on today's This Morning. It was a raucous, twist-filled show featuring a brilliant cast of characters aired on ITV between 2000 - 2006. 4 Some of the stars of Footballers' Wives reunited to appear on This Morning Credit: ITV 4 The other stars on This Morning included Laila Rouass, Susie Amy and Allison Newman Credit: ITV Show favourites Laila Rouass, Susie Amy, Gary Lucy and Allison Newman joined hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley in the studio. The four stars reflected on what it was like to film the racy programme, especially some of the more outrageous plotlines. However, viewers watching at home were distracted by Gary and commented how much he has changed since the show first aired. "Gary Lucy's looking well," wrote one person on X, formerly Twitter. "Has he had Botox??" asked another. "He looks like he runs a market stall and tells everyone he's an entrepreneur," added a third. Essex-born Gary began his acting career in 1997 when he appeared in one episode of Grange Hill at the age of 15. That same year he bagged a role in footie-based drama Dream Team. In Footballers' Wives he played striker Kyle Pascoe from 2002-2004. He also starred in the soap Hollyoaks on-and-off for a number of years as Luke Morgan.

After this, Gary went on to star in various other soaps and TV series. From 2005-2010, he played PC Will Fletcher on The Bill. He also starred as Danny Pennant in EastEnders from 2012-2014. In 2014 Gary took part in reality TV series Dancing on Ice with partner Maria Filipov and seriously injured his knee. 4 Footballers' Wives is available to stream on ITVX Credit: ITV
