A Place in the Sun: Danni Menzies thought she would be sacked
Danni Menzies has described her experience auditioning for roles as she admitted it does not always go to plan. The A Place In The Sun star spoke about work in times of coronavirus and how she stayed calm ahead of auditioning for a role.
She told actor and producer Louis Strong on his podcast, Headstrong: “Well, the audition side of it… I don’t get a lot of them.
“And obviously a lot of them haven’t been happening because of Covid.
“So it’s more been like meetings and Zoom meetings - that sort of thing.
“But I do still get quite nervous the first time I chat to someone, especially if it’s about something that I would really love to do.
“And to be honest with you, to date I probably c*** them up because I get too enthusiastic and too excited.”
However, she is determined to change a trait that she said has been pointed out to her before by a teacher.
Danni explained: “But I’m trying to get better at remaining calm.
“I think that’s what it is anyway, I mean, I remember a school teacher saying to me, ‘your best quality and your worst quality is your enthusiasm’.
“I get really excited and I talk rubbish so…”
During her conversation with Louis, Danni also recounted a "horrendous" ordeal she suffered during her days as a model.
The actress recalled that a work trip to Mexico City had to be cut short as she was targeted by kidnappers.
She explained: "I had the most eventful, mental, three weeks of my life.

"I was supposed to be there for three months, but after three weeks I was on a plane home.
I probably nearly got kidnapped three or four times.
"I had never researched Mexico at all before I went, I just wasn't thinking.
"I pretty much got followed from the moment I got off the plane."
Danni’s modelling agency had a partnership with another agency in Mexico.
However, the situation was far from ideal as the company had "got into debt with some of the wrong people”.
"We got followed in a car the whole time we were there," Danni revealed.
A Place in the Sun airs weekdays at 4pm on Channel 4.
