“Grateful to my nearest and dearest who have kept me smiling these past two weeks, especially @freyaaspinalll AKA ‘The elf who saved Christmas’.

Life after Dancing on Ice
Donna appeared on Dancing on Ice in 2018 where she was partnered with professional dancer Mark Hanretty.
After being seventh out of the competition, Donna then went on to star in BBC drama The Split.
She revealed in 2020 that she was taking a break and “having some Donna time” where she researched Buddhism and stopped attending parties.
Donna also revealed during lockdown that she had gained two jean sizes after struggling to put weight on for years.
At the time, she expressed: “I’ve gone up two jeans sizes during lockdown and it’s never, ever happened in my life no matter how much I’ve tried, so I’m actually quite happy about it. I kind of like my new curves.”
