The star has looked back at her time on the show

As the current series airs, Danniella has looked back on her time, telling the Daily Star: “I broke three ribs, I ripped my tendon in my leg, and twisted my knee and popped it out of the knee cap.

“That was all in rehearsal but I managed to skate every week your skating partner is like your therapist. There are so many hats they have to wear.

“It’s like when you shoot EastEnders you spend more time on set than you do your own family.”

She added: “There were people who had a lot worse than me, the pro skaters skate with injuries all the time. To do on a show like that and not experience every level of it, I felt like I did get the full experience that way.”

Danniella’s comments come after she stripped off for a very sexy Valentine’s Day shoot ahead of becoming the Creative Talent Director for Social Ikon.

It’s an adult subscription service that will see the actress “inspiring others” on the platform.

The former EastEnders actress is however missing out on spending Valentine’s Day with her beau.

Danniella revealed that while she can’t be with him on the special day, she plans to send him a sexy treat.

She will let her jailed fiance David enjoy some saucy snaps by sending them into his prison.
