Bad Girls pregnant dog Natalie is to be killed off - following actress Dannielle Brent's decision to quit.
Her shock departure is a blow to producers - as ITV1 bosses are already considering axing the show. Sexy Dannielle who plays the most despicable character at Larkhall Prison's G-Wing, will be killed in episode six of the current ten-part run. But she will feature in episode seven after her body is stuffed into a freezer.
Dannielle, 26, said of those scenes: "I wear some scary make-up and look like a zombie. The best part was that I didn't have to learn any lines."
But the ex-Hollyoaks star admitted she would miss being the people's smuggler. She said: "Natalie's reign of terror has lasted three years and she has done so much. She's had tears, tantrums and fights - you couldn't ask for a better character."
Insiders promised her death storyline would be "explosive". One source said: "When Dannielle told producers she was leaving they decided there was no way she was going quietly."
Evil Natalie, above, was originally banged up for tax fraud but later got a 12-year stretch for smuggling illegal immigrants. The show, in it's eighth series, could be axed if viewing figures slump. Thursday night's show, the first in the series, picked up 5.2 million. The insider said: "We were pleased with that, so fingers crossed."
