She also reprised the role in the spinoffs Tracy Beaker Returns in 2010, The Dumping Ground in 2013, and My Mum Tracy Beaker and The Beaker Girls in 2021.
Dani is now 37, and was left gasping when she discovered Primark has released an entire range based on the show that skyrocketed her to stardom.
Posting on TikTok, the mum of two said: “Do we actually have a Tracy Beaker range in Primark?
“Do I need to go and grab a basket and buy everything or is someone pulling our leg?”

She later filmed herself holding up the sleepwear sets in her local store, before racing to the till to buy them.
The Tracy Beaker star also picked up a set for her daughter, mum and sister.
She said: “Tracy Beaker sleepover when???! I’ll get the picky bits and stick on IPlayer, just bring your bestie and your matchy matchy pjs!”
She later revealed the Primark cashier recognised her and they “had a lovely chat”.
The Primark pyjamas, available in sizes XXS to XXL, start at £12 for the oversized nightshirt featuring Tracy Beaker’s iconic “I’m not crying, it’s hayfever” slogan.
You can also pick up the shorts and tee PJs set for £14, or the boyfriend pyjamas version.

And fans of the iconic show are in a frenzy over the nostalgic range.
One wrote: “Do I need another pair of pjs? No. Will I buy the new Tracy Beaker pjs? Obviously.”
A second cried: “They’re not a want they’re a need.”
“An icon being an absolute icon, I need these pjs in my life”, said a third.
A fourth added: “Imagine being in Primark and seeing THE Tracy Beaker looking through Tracy Beaker merch I’d dieeeee.”
“I went for some yesterday, all sold out”, sighed a fifth.
Meanwhile, a sixth insisted: “I need the whole collection!!”
