Although she briefly starred as a science teacher in Waterloo Road (major throwback), Daniela blamed her quiet career on sexism in the industry. She told the Telegraph that "Women are seen to be off the market when they are 35."

Meanwhile, back to the current times Pete Wicks has spoken out after filming for TOWIE was cancelled following the outbreak of coronavirus.

"I think TOWIE can do social distancing. It's completely different to Love Island. Celebs Go Dating... it'd be hard to date with social distancing, wouldn't it?"

"But TOWIE we film a couple of hours a day and generally a lot of it is in open spaces. The chances of TOWIE coming back are fairly high I would have said, in comparison.

“We were just about to start before lockdown,” he told The Sun. “We should be filming now. We're not entirely sure what's happening with that."

Our fingers are crossed that it'll be back on our screens very soon...
