While Danniella and Jodie are close now, the star previously revealed back in 2019 that they had not spoken in three years at the time.
Danniella revealed that the best possible thing for her daughter was to live with her dad after a turbulent year of being diagnosed with womb cancer and undergoing facial reconstruction surgery.
Speaking on Jeremy Vine, she said: ‘Jodie is with her dad and that’s just a whole different issue because of different things but the stalker did play a huge part in that for her own safety.
‘I haven’t spoken to Jodie for three years. She’s 17, she’s gorgeous. Look, it’s very difficult, especially since I’ve been ill.

The former soap star continued to gush about the teenager: ‘Jodie is doing her life and she’s doing very well, she’s done brilliantly at school and now she’s in college and she’s doing great, and her dad is a great dad and he’s doing what’s best for her, right now.
‘It’s probably a safer and much better environment for her whilst I’ve got all this stuff going on, with trials and different things and being ill, she should be there right now.’
Danniella shares Jodie with her ex-husband Kevin Jenkins who she divorced in 2020 – six years after they separated.
The actress is also mother to son Kai Jenkins, 25, from her relationship with Robert Fernandez.
