EastEnders' Danielle Harold looks just like Barbie after incredible doll transformation

EastEnders star Danielle Harold has wowed fans with her incredible transformation into Barbie.

The actress, who plays Lola Pearce in the BBC soap, posted a snap of herself looking like the famous Mattel doll on Instagram.

Her look was Eighties Barbie in a blue leotard, pink belt, stripy pink and blue socks and what looked like a visor hat over her long blonde hair.

She finished the fancy dress look with a Barbie box over the top giving the impression she was a real-life doll that could be picked from the shelf.

The 30-year-old, who looked to be on holiday as there was a swimming pool in the background of the photos, captioned the post: “Ah ah ah yeah.”

Fans and some of her celeb pals – including former co-stars - were quick to comment on the picture.

Maisie Smith, who played Tiffany Butcher in EastEnders until 2014, simply wrote: “THIS” followed by a drooling face.

Her actor pal Tony Cook said: “So many questions!!! Where the hell did you even get this you nutter?”

Some of Danielle’s 196,000 followers also chimed in praising her ‘plastic fantastic’ look.

One fan wrote: “Wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...Come on Barbie let’s go party.”

Another said: “Wait up though you’re way more beautiful than a Barbie doll.”

A third commented: “You could be my Barbie girl any day,” while a fourth said: "Omg. No. This is incredible!!”

Wondering where Barbie’s boyfriend was, a fifth fan joked: “Who’s Ken?”

Danielle is not the only celeb to dress up as the iconic Barbie doll recently.

Tasha Ghouri, Love Island ’s first deaf contestant, donned a Barbie outfit when she did her sexy dance in the villa.

While Margot Robbie was pictured as Barbie for the first time last month as she filmed scenes for the upcoming live action film.

The hotly-anticipated film, which is being directed by Greta Gerwig , is due to be released next summer.

Movie fans were excited to learn that Ken will be played by none other than Ryan Gosling, who has dyed his hair platinum blonde for the role.

Margot is also producing the film under her LuckyChap Entertainment company – but don’t expect it to be your typical tale.

The 31-year-old told Vogue: “[The role] comes with a lot of baggage and a lot of nostalgic connections. But that comes with a lot of exciting ways to attack it.

“People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be’, and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t...”

Details of the eagerly awaited film are largely under wraps, but there are rumours there will be multiple Barbie and Kens.

Also joining the star-studded cast are Will Ferrell, America Ferrera and Sex Education star Emma Mackey, who played Maeve in the hit Netflix show.
