Harold reveals live birth jitters

EastEnders star Danielle Harold has admitted she's "terrified" about her character Lola Pearce's upcoming live birth.

Teenager Lola - the granddaughter of Billy Mitchell - is set to go into labour during a special Olympics episode on Monday night.

And Danielle, 20, told What's On TV: "I'm terrified! I'd rather have a baby in real life than do this live!"

She added: "But it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it is nice of them to trust me with it.

"We've already filmed the lead-up to the birth and I was knackered after screaming and crying and pretending to push all day."

Billy Mitchell will carry the Olympic flame through Albert Square as part of the official Torch Relay, before dashing to be with Lola when she goes into labour.

:: EastEnders' Olympics episodes air on Monday July 23 at 8pm and 9pm on BBC One.
