Dani explained: ‘I cried in the room. I was like, “I don’t know what I’m doing”‘
‘I was running an hour late and sweating. The nerves get on top of you. It is just this authority looking at you and you want this role so bad.’
‘The speech we had to prepare was deep but she wanted it quite comical. I tried and I just cried.’
Michelle is currently set to end her stint after the show’s fourth season, after taking the role of Georgie Lane in 2015 when EastEnders star Lacey Turner left the show.

In heartbreaking scenes, Georgie saw visions of her late husband-to-be as she attended her beloved sister’s wedding elsewhere in the show.
The series’ opening scenes saw Georgie continue to battle with visions of her late fiancé Elvis (played by Luke Pasqualino) as she tried to enjoy her sister’s wedding.
Holding her engagement ring which she now wore around her neck, viewers saw flashbacks to the moment Georgie accepted Elvis’ proposal.
Fans were devastated when Elvis was dramatically killed by a bomb back in 2017, and it seems clear that Georgie still hasn’t dealt with her grief around his death.
