A source for The Sun revealed: “After filming Lola’s storyline, Danielle is keen to do whatever she can to raise money for the fight against cancer. She will throw herself into the show and hopefully stay hidden long enough to beat the Hunters.”

If successful, Danielle and Kimberley could be on the run for up to two weeks. Can they beat the Hunters?
