Danniella Westbrook reveals she will undergo TWO MORE reconstructive surgeries in Turkey to restore her face – after years of cocaine addiction

Danniella Westbrook has revealed that she will undergo two more reconstructive surgeries in Turkey in the coming months to restore her face.

The former EastEnders actress, 49, will need several more surgeries to correct her ‘collapsing’ face due to a previous cocaine addiction and osteoporosis.

Her latest bout of cosmetic surgery takes place abroad ahead of her acting comeback, with the second coming after Christmas.

Daniella said The sun: ‘I’m going to Turkey next week for another facial operation and then another after Christmas.’

She previously underwent a rib insertion procedure in 2018 after osteoporosis rotted away her cheekbones and gums and, having received lip filler and Botox for the past year, in addition to surgery on her face, she hopes to get back to her best.

In April, Danniella stepped out with a bandage over her nose after another procedure.

The actress’s struggles with drugs have been widely publicized and her nose was famously reconstructed after her septum collapsed from excessive cocaine use in 2002.

At the height of her use, she reportedly used up to five grams of cocaine a day, wasting nearly £250,000 on the drug.

The star has since embarked on multiple bouts of rehab to battle her demons – revealing she was finally clean in June last year, after attending a clinic in Mijas, Spain.

Danniella first appeared in EastEnders in 1990 at the age of 16 and starred in the soap for three years.

She returned in 1996, but her time was cut short when her off-screen behavior got her fired.

She returned shortly after, but was suspended again in 2000 after further disruptive behaviour, admitting to blowing £100,000 worth of cocaine at the time.

The role was recast between 2002 and 2005 and played by Kim Medcalf, but Danniella returned to the role again in 2009 to 2010.

She was back again in 2016 for the storyline surrounding the on-screen death of mother Peggy Mitchell, which is her last appearance to date.

Danniella’s new adult pantomime Sinderfella runs from Friday December 9 to Thursday December 22 and includes 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 is described as having “an utterly nasty laugh-a-minute script and a whole bunch of audience participation” and “the perfect way to start your Christmas with a bang!”

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

“All the bits your father deliberately laughed at are exposed 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.’
