‘She is safe and being supported by the right people’

The management of soap star Danniella Westbrook has told fans she’s ‘in a great place’ after the star previously shared a concerning post on social media amid reports about the reconstruction of her face.

Former EastEnders cast member Danniella, 51, reportedly uploaded a now-deleted video of herself sobbing to Instagram yesterday (Sunday June 22).

She was said to have admitted she ‘hates herself’ and ‘doesn’t have any more battles left in her’ while addressing fears of getting an infection after her latest op.

What happened with Danniella Westbrook?

The star is said to have claimed in the now-deleted video that she was forced to stay in the house for “hours” because her boyfriend Chasa Symonds went to visit his child without leaving her a key. This meant she wouldn’t have been able to let herself back inside.

After initially declaring that she’d instead get the tube, Danniella told how Chasa did take her in the end and stayed with her. Medics then informed her that she had an infection. Danniella also stated if he was ill, she would have stayed with him.

The video then saw her break down again. And she said that she doesn’t have “any more battles left in her”.

Later in the day, according to MailOnline, Daniella’s management confirmed the actress is “great and thriving”. They added there are “no worries”.

“Just a quick update for anyone wondering – our amazing client Daniella Westbrook is doing great and thriving!” a Stories post read. The statement went on: “No worries, she’s in a great place and shining as always. Thanks for all the love and support!”

A further update added: “In light of emotional content recently shared on social media, we want to reassure everyone that Danniella is safe and being supported by the right people.

Danniella is safe and being supported by the right people.

“Her social media accounts have been temporarily taken offline as she takes this time to focus on her mental health and wellbeing. We thank everyone for their kindness and understanding.”

Danniella Westbrook face surgery

Earlier this month, Danniella went into hospital for another surgery to rebuild her face which ‘collapsed’ face due to her previous cocaine addiction and osteoporosis.

According to reports, she had cartilage removed from her rib for a bone graft across the bridge of her nose.

In 2023, the Sam Mitchell actress admitted she wasn’t happy with a number of procedures she received after visiting Turkey.

She told OK! at the time: “I had a surgical thread lift where they put over 1,200 threads into my face. They were also supposed to reconstruct my nose, which is what I went there for, but they haven’t done that.”

Danniella went on: “They’ve taken the fat out of my back, my sides and my stomach, and put it into my face to make it more symmetrical. But I feel like they’ve taken too much fat from my stomach. I’ve always had a six-pack, and I’ve woken up, and I’ve lost it.”

Danniella continued: “I also have big lumps of fluid all over my belly. They’re like big tennis balls. It’s ruined my body. It’s going to take a lot of work to get it back to how I was.”

As well as her surgeries, Danniella has also endured hospital visits in recent years for septicemia. She also thanked hospital staff for ‘saving her life’ in December 2022 amid claims she was close to cardiac arrest.
