EastEnders star Danielle Harold sets pulses racing in a skimpy striped bikini as she transforms into Christina Aguilera's for sizzling Halloween snaps

She's best known for her role as Lola Pearce in the BBC soap EastEnders.

But Danielle Harold set pulses racing in a wholly different look, as she transformed into Christina Aguilera for a series of sexy Halloween snaps on Thursday.

The actress, 32, slipped into a daring red and white striped bikini and leather chaps, replicating Christina's iconic look from her Dirrty music video.

Danielle showed off her incredible figure as she slipped into the revealing top for the sexy images, showcasing her sexy matching chaps while posing in a car park.

Alongside the sizzling snaps, Danielle wrote: 'Halloween theme favourite music video had to be… Xtina.'

It comes after Danielle revealed she was told she'd been axed from the soap a year before she filmed her final scenes. 

The actress exited the soap last year when her character Lola Pearce died following a battle with a terminal brain tumour, leaving viewers in tears with her heartbreaking final scenes.

Reuniting with her I'm A Celebrity campmate Nigel Farage on GB News, Danielle said that being told about her exit so far in advance meant she had time to 'come to terms' with her departure.

She said: 'With a story like my one in particular it took a lot of planning a lot research a lot of time went into that story, so I actually found out very early, right at the beginning, about a year. 

'Normally you get about 2-3 months notice, if that so it's normally quite quick, but I had a very long time to know that I was leaving come to terms with leaving, say goodbye.'

Most recently, Danielle has been appearing on he 19th series alongside influencer Charlotte Crosby and model and TV personality Christine McGuinness.

Danielle bid farewell to EastEnders in 2023, after her character Lola Pearce lost her battle with a terminal brain tumour. 

It was previously revealed by EastEnders bosses that after being diagnosed with a brain tumour, Lola would eventually lose her battle with the disease.

Discussing the moving storyline, she added: 'I can't tell you how difficult those scenes are, especially with the research that we do, we get paired up with people living with brain tumours, which has been so difficult but so uplifting to work with people I can't tell you how they've touched my life, changed my life.

'And playing those scenes you just want to get it so right, because you know how many people are going through that and have had that conversation.'

After leaving EastEnders, Danielle was campmate on last year's series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! and was the fifth star to be voted out.

Despite exiting EastEnders last year, Danielle made returned on Christmas Day, in a message recorded by Lola to show her daughter Lexi after her death. 

The scenes saw Lola speaking to her partner Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) and her daughter Lexi (Isabella Brown) as they opened their Christmas presents.

Lola told Jay to open his first as the family all sat around the living room, before Lexi told him he was going to be running the London Marathon.

Lola then said on the video: 'You are going to smash this I promise, Lex, do not let him slack, OK?'

To which Lexi replied: 'I won't mum.'

Fans were left emotional after watching Lola return to the soap opera as the Mitchell family spent their first Christmas without her.

Taking to X - formerly known as Twitter - to react to the scenes, one viewer said: 'Genuinely love these Lola scenes. The two big storylines of the year linking up. It’s beautiful storytelling.'

Another wrote: 'Lola was such a star,' while a third commented: 'Lovely seeing our Lola.'

A fourth gushed: 'That video from Lola was cute can’t believe she’s gone #Eastenders.'
