Dani Harmer has sent fans wild with an adorable reunion with her Tracy Beaker co-star.
The hit CBBC show was a staple in most family households during the noughties, and viewers are obsessed with this blast from the past.
Dani, now 35, played the infamous teenager in the Dumping Ground, first rising to fame aged 13.
Over the years, she starred alongside Chelsie Padley (who played Louise), Montanna Thompson (Justine Littlewood), Clive Rowe (Duke) and Nisha Nayer (Elaine the Pain).
And now she’s treated us to a reunion with her co-star Cara Readle, who played Layla Jones.
The 33-year-old, who has cerebral palsy, appeared on the programme from series three to series five, and broke barriers becoming the first character with a disability.
The sweet snap shared on Dani’s Instagram was captioned: ‘Nothing better than catching up with one of your oldest friends 🥹!
‘This was getting so much love in my stories I just had to make “Tracy & Layla” permanent on my feed!
‘Me and @carajayne.1 had the loveliest evening reminiscing about our crazy childhood! The perfect evening.’
Cara, who went on to star on Baker Boys and CBeebies show Biff & Chip, posted the same image on her stories, writing, ‘Was so lush,’ and commenting on Dani’s: ‘ It was the loveliest evening xx.’
Fans loved seeing the pair together, with @steffi_whovian writing: ‘Awwww look at you lovely girlies 🥹🩷 my childhood ðŸ˜ðŸ©·.’
@becks_t added: ‘This photo is giving me pure nostalgia!! So lovely.’
‘NO WAY ICONIC’ @summer_rk said, while @elsrosec added: ‘it’s Tracy and Layla 🥹❤.’
Dani held the role for five seasons of The Story of Tracy Beaker, until 2005, where she then went to front her own shows, including Bafta-nominated Dani’s House and Dani’s Castle, which was her first producing credit.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, and now panto actress, reprised her role in 2021, playing fully grown-up but still equally irresponsible mum Tracy in five-part series The Beaker Girls.
She was accompanied by her on-screen daughter, played by Emma Maggie Davies, as a follow-up to My Mum Tracy Beaker.
In 2022, Dani shared that she gave birth to a baby boy, her second child with partner Simon Brough.
The Story of Tracy Beaker is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
