00:00Okay, to our guests today. Now, Ethan just scored the hat-trick, didn't they, at last week's National Television Awards.
00:05One of the big moments of the night, though, was Danielle Harold, who won Best Serial Drama Performance for her role as Lola Pierce,
00:13who left our screens after her character's heartbreaking battle with a brain tumor.
00:18Jay, I want to go back there. I want to see the sea for one last time.
00:25It's a lame evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear, she puts on her makeup.
00:41You can try it, Phillip, but it isn't happening to you, is it? This is happening to me.
00:46It's not fair that next is going to lose your mom. It's not fair that I will have to carry on without you.
00:55Oh, you see a pin drop in the studio. Very emotional stuff. She was incredible. She's well-deserved that award at the end of the day.
01:04Please welcome Danielle Harold.
01:05You've got an amazing cheer from our audience today. The noise, the noise at the A2, when you won that award, was amazing.
01:28How did that feel? You looked very taken aback that you were even up there.
01:32I couldn't even believe that I was nominated, and then to be shortlisted, and then to win, the whole journey was just surprising to me.
01:39It was just shocking, and when I heard the noise in the A2 and just my name, it was just, I didn't think of anything to say, Eva.
01:46So I was like, oh no, oh no, I was just on the walk thinking, think of something, because I just never thought I'd win.
01:51I think that made it even more special, that you didn't look like you were expecting to win, and you were taking a bat.
01:58And actually, you nearly missed it, weren't you in the news?
02:01Yeah, well, I was really nervous.
02:04I was very nervous, the dress was very tight, and I really needed to wait.
02:08And I thought, it's going to be a while, it'll be fine, I'll be quick.
02:11And I went in and said, she's such a hot water, and I said, Daddy, I won't get you in here, and I went, oh God, this is me.
02:16I went, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she took care.
02:18He nearly got there just, just, just, just, just, I'm sorry.
02:21I'm going to talk about it on the showroom.
02:24Congratulations.
02:26We were just saying, just watching that clip, you could hear a pin drop in here, and very, very emotional scenes.
02:31For months and months this has been going on, I think they've done it so well, this build-up.
02:36But emotional for us to watch, how draining is that for you?
02:40How emotional, difficult is that for you, to be acting those scenes?
02:45Definitely, when you're acting out a story like that, it definitely takes its toll.
02:49And especially in Soap, where we play these stories for such a long time, and we play it so true to life.
02:54It's not just like when you're doing a film, and maybe you've got one scene or two, it's like for a whole, over a year period, all of us on that set was going through.
03:01And it was, it was so difficult, because you have people that was connected in so many different ways,
03:04it was affected in so many ways, and just making sure that we just had so much love on set, and respect for everybody in it.
03:10And I couldn't have asked for more on set from everybody, in a sense of respect for me for doing it.
03:15It was amazing.
03:15How does it feel now, because obviously you've left, but we're still seeing you on screen,
03:19because you, as lovely, you left video messages, didn't you, for your child and family members.
03:25What's that like, watching now?
03:27Strange, actually.
03:28Yeah, when I watched a video that I'd done, that was on screen not long ago, I was watching, I was like, oh, it's so strange,
03:35because you say goodbye, I have to say goodbye to my character at the same time as she was leaving and stuff,
03:39so to see it back, I was like, oh, it's so lovely, it was so nice to see it back on screen.
03:43But, you know, I don't know if you're still going to watch it, but I know you saw it so much earlier,
03:48that Jay, he has not wasted much time.
03:52Yes.
03:53How did you feel about seeing that?
03:55But it's the lower lookalikes, and it is just clinging on.
03:58Oh, we'll go with that.
03:59Yeah, we'll go with that.
04:01I'd love to know what your connection is to Jamie Oliver.
04:05How did you start acting in the first place?
04:07So, I'd always wanted to be an actress, but I'd just never knew how to get into any of this.
04:12How old were you?
04:13I was 15 at the time, 17, 16, when I was trying to be an actress,
04:17and then Jamie Oliver was advertising, Jamie Oliver's Dream School,
04:20and I thought maybe that might be a way, oh, gosh, don't worry.
04:25I thought that might be a way to get into acting, to be able to learn,
04:29and luckily, it just, it really worked for me, and thank you, Jamie, as well.
04:33So, when you filmed the series, who was helping you?
04:37Who was advising you?
04:39We had David Starkey, who was one of my teachers,
04:43who took a little giant to me.
04:45It was great.
04:45He was wanting me to go to uni, because it was an amazing experience.
04:50It was to help us in whatever route we wanted to take in life,
04:53and I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity, but I think it was great.
04:56Shea Blair, David Starkey, Jamie, Jazzy B, songs of soul, my music teacher.
05:01So, yeah, it was wicked.
05:03Such amazing.
05:03I have to say, as Ruth said, you looked fabulous in that dress when I saw you at the NCAAs,
05:08and after you got the award, you were going back to your seat, and you bumped into me,
05:13and you started talking to me and said, you know, Jamal very well,
05:17and he was very big on the social media side of things,
05:21and you said that you didn't have social media, and you're quite glad that you didn't have social media
05:25when you started at that time.
05:27Why is that?
05:28I suppose now social media is such a huge, huge platform that I suppose so many women and men feel pressure from now,
05:34and it's, when I started, it wasn't like that.
05:37It was a way to keep up with your friends, or to check in how it was,
05:40and you post a picture just to see what it was doing, not to look at certain things that you guys were talking about.
05:44I said earlier, it's just sad that it's gone like that, and Jamal was such an advocate for that,
05:50and using social media for the best platform, which is what it should have been used for,
05:54and supporting people, supporting artists, and yeah, I think he was a real great flagship
05:58for how social media should be used now, because he's really used to be able to do it.
06:06I can't just tell you, I know that your nan is a big Luciman fan,
06:11but I mean, unfortunately, it's in the hospital.
06:13Yeah, she is, and she's going to be probably shocked that I'm talking about this,
06:17but I am going to nan, and she has cracked three of her ribs,
06:21and it's very, very quality, but is super excited that I'm going to lose women.
06:25Wouldn't go to the hospital, because she wanted to watch lose women today.
06:28So I had to beg, and I said, please, please go.
06:31What's her name?
06:32Anne.
