EastEnders star Danielle Harold looks worlds away from the Square in revealing selfie

EastEnders actress Danielle Harold looks worlds away from her character Lola Pearce as she poses up a storm in a revealing selfie.

Danielle, 30, wowed fans as she scrubbed up pretty well for the pulse-raising snap, sharing the post with her 269,000 Instagram followers.

The actor, who has played Lola Pearce in the BBC One soap since 2011, signed off on the photo with a simple lipstick emoji.

Wearing a grey AC/DC top, which no doubt OG guitarist Slash himself would approve of, it featured strategic rips to show off plenty of cleavage.

Styling her long platinum blond hair into a chic half-up, half-down style, she let the loose waves tumble over her shoulders as she smouldered for the camera.

Perhaps glammed up for a night out, the natural beauty added lashings of mascara and eyeliner to her perfectly made-up look.

Finishing with a flourish of red lipstick to match the emoji, Danielle’s transformation meant she looked worlds away from her on-screen persona, Lola.

EastEnders’ character Lola, who has found love with car salesman Jay Brown, is dying of a terminal brain tumour.

Fans and friends of the actor were quick to flood the comment section of the post with compliments.

Her onscreen mum Patsy Kensit, 55, left a string of fire and heart emojis, while another follower added: “Absolutely stunning loving the AC/DC top.”

“Absolutely gorgeous,” penned another person.

“I swear to god she’s perfect!!,” gushed someone else.

Another follower simply added: “Wow.”

Danielle's brain tumour storyline has touched the hearts of EastEnders fans with Lola reuniting with her long-lost mum in emotional scenes.

Lola was mortified when she discovered her client Emma (Patsy Kensit) was in fact her mum who she believed had abandoned her when she was a child.

Emma explained she was physically abused by Lola's father and was hospitalised on her daughter's third birthday.

The estranged mum claimed she tried to find Lola when she was discharged but her daughter and partner had disappeared.

The terminally ill hairdresser refused to believe Emma at first but soon realised she was telling the truth and ran after her mum to convince her to stay in Walford.

"I'm here now and I'm not going to let you go," Emma told her daughter as the pair embraced.

EastEnders are working with Brain Tumour Research and Macmillan Cancer Support on Lola's storyline.
