Danniella was supported by her boyfriend

TV star Danniella Westbrook shared a photo of herself in the hospital as she underwent surgery to rebuild her face.

The former EastEnders actor previously had her face reconstructed in 2023 after waiting years to find a surgeon who would work on her septum. At the time, Danniella, 51, had undergone surgery five times to try and fix her face.

Daniella’s nose initially collapsed due to her cocaine addiction.

In an Instagram Story shared today (June 12), Danniella shared a snapshot of herself in the hospital wearing a robe. While her face wasn’t visible, she was captured sitting down holding her bare knuckle fighter boyfriend, Charlie Symonds, hand.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star announced she was having surgery to rebuild her face again.

“Big day for me. Heading down for a very long surgery right now to rebuild my face,” she wrote. “Then I can get back to work and we can get on with our life together @chaserealtalk. I love you x.”

Partner Charlie then reposted the Story, writing: “So so proud of ya babe,” with a red heart emoji.

Danniella added: “Thank you babe, you have been beside me every step of the way, See you when I wake up xxx.”

Danniella opens up about previous surgery

During a 2023 interview with OK!, Danniella admitted she was unhappy with a number of procedures she had undergone after visiting Turkey.

“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,” she said.

“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. I’m 50 this year, and I wanted to be in the best shape ever.”
