The mum of I'm a Celeb star Danielle Harold says she feels she is "sharing her with everyone" now viewers are seeing her daughter for herself and not an EastEnders character.

The soap star's mum Lisa Marie Carter touched down in Australia from the UK as she flies down under to support her daughter.

Actor Danielle is well-known for her role as Lola Pearce-Brown during two stints in Albert Square lasting over a decade, but her mum insists she is now "being herself" in the jungle.

Her mum Lisa said: "It’s been good she’s doing really, really well, I knew she would be determined.

"A lot of people in there aren’t themselves in their jobs but when you’re playing someone for so long, it’s really difficult to switch off but she’s a really caring person."

"It is a bit weird watching her as herself on TV, it is almost like we are sharing her with everyone," she added.

Asked if 31-year-old Danielle could win, she added: "If she just keeps being herself, she’s very caring. She's already a winner in my eyes anyway, I'm really proud."

The doting mum also revealed how brave Danielle has helped her to conquer one of her own fears, explaining: "I don’t know how she does it with the trials,

"I’m not good at heights and she’s inspired me to jump on a plane and get out here.

"I knew she would give it a good go but I am a bit surprised at how much she has thrown herself into it. She was anxious going in. I am not worried now though because I can see she looks happy and she is enjoying herself."

Lisa also explained why Danielle had recently rejected one of the meals in camp as it had reminded her of her pet back home.

She explained: "Absolutely no way she would be eating that hare, the rest of the stuff she would have a go, but not the hare.

"She has a rabbit that she adored and it’s like her little baby really so she just wouldn’t eat that.

"The rabbit is called Sonny, Sonny the bunny and he is being looked after by her dad and friends, he is being very well cared for!"

It comes as Danielle jokingly apologised to her family ahead of her arrival on the show.

In a video uploaded to the official I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Instagram page, each of this year’s campmates were asked a series of quickfire questions.

Among the questions posed to the contestants was: “What will you miss most when you’re in the jungle?,” causing many of the celebrities to say that they’d miss their friends and family."

Danielle, however, gave a different answer and said: “Food, sorry fam”.
