At the age of 19, Danielle Nicholls shot to fame as the face of ITV's children's television channel CITV. Following a career gap after becoming a 'stay-at-home mum' and the tragic loss of her 17-month-old daughter, she's now enjoying a triumphant comeback.
Danielle is back on our screens after being brutally told last year, at the age of 43, that she was on 'the wrong side of 40' to be relaunching her career. The singer and model, from Swinton, was first discovered by producer Steve Ryde and she presented the daily kids channel, which launched the likes of the Teletubbies, alongside Stephen Mulhern from 1998 until 2001.
After three years at the channel she worked as a presenter on the Channel 5 celebrity karaoke show, Night Fever. By 2012, Danielle had three children with her husband, Dean Holden, who is currently manager of Charlton Athletic and an ex-boss of Oldham Athletic.
