After six years on the show, Danni has decided to move on

One follower wrote to her asking, 'How are YOU? I bet not many people ask", to which she replied: "Ah that's nice. I mean people ask but they never really want more than a 'good thanks' do they?!"

"I am good though, thank you! I had a few very emotional days and was a bit wobbly. Change is scary! But nothing a little bit of gratitude didn't sort out. I have loads to look forward to and I feel very lucky right now. I think this year is going to be amazing!"
