Danniella Westbrook poses in a pink dress at the launch of pantomime Sinderfella

Danniella Westbrook wore an animated display in a pink dress on Tuesday for the Sinderfella launch at the Prince of Wales pub in London’s Drury Lane.

The actress, 49, donned the striking off-the-shoulder costume that culminated in a full-length, netted midi skirt for the pantomime show’s press night.

The former EastEnders star added inches to her frame in a pair of dazzling heels, while also donning a large silver tiara as she posed alongside co-star and producer Simon Gross.

Danniella traded her heels for a pair of black lace-up boots when she was seen on a bicycle pulling a carriage with friends in it.

She was seen as a storm for selfies outside the venue while enjoying a cigarette on her own.

The actress opted for a bold makeup palette with blushing cheeks, pink lipstick and flowing eyelashes.

Danniella flashed her legs in the eye-catching outfit as she pulled up her long skirt as she sat down on a chair.

Running from Friday, December 9 through Thursday, December 22, the pantomime features the party songs Never Going To Give You Up, It’s Raining Men, I Will Survive, Dancing Queen, Like A Virgin and Time Of My Life.

Sinderfella is played by London drag artist Luna Cortez.

It’s been described as “an utterly filthy laugh-per-minute script and loads of audience participation” and “the perfect way to start your Christmas off with a bang!”

Simon Gross, who plays Jordan the Ugly Sister, said: ‘Sinderfella takes all the ingredients from the pantomimes we grew up with and know and love, but takes the ambiguity to the next level!

‘All the bits that were knowingly laughed at by your father are unmasked in all their glory in a fairytale romp.

“This year we’re really looking forward to pushing the boundaries to bring you the most memorable and hilarious night out in the heart of the West End.”

It comes after Danniella took to Instagram last week as she celebrated her 49th birthday.

The actress took to Instagram to share a photo of herself looking very glamorous before spending time with her friends in the north of England.

Danniella was in a good mood, but told how she had fallen into a deep depression a few days earlier.

She wrote on the social media site: “Funny how a picture can make everyone think that life is okay… Two days before that, I wanted my life to end.

‘Thank god for my son and his lady, Chad and my friends, I call my family xx without you this picture wouldn’t have happened at all.

“Sometimes the people who should be closest to us aren’t the ones who hurt you the most, lie to you and don’t even really like you.

“It’s true what they say, you can choose your friends, but not your family. And that is definitely a blessing that a family can look perfect from the outside. Perfect house, perfect smile, but it’s just a filter of life.

“A family doesn’t lie and talk and don’t go behind your back and don’t pretend you’re the problem to question it.

It’s okay not to be perfect and it’s okay not to like people. Just be real, because people’s actions can hurt someone self-loathing. And that they don’t want to wake up.

“So today I am grateful to my Scouse family, my friends, my son and Chad xxx Big love to you all Westie xxxx. ps I’m fine now, don’t worry x.’
