EXC: Danniella Westbrook reveals plans to front ‘massive’ drugs doc where she’ll interview dealers

Danniella Westbrook has claimed she’s ‘in talks’ to make a new drug documentary featuring her… interview dealers and families of addicts.

The 48-year-old actress, whose cocaine addiction received a lot of publicity in the 1990s and 2000s, explained that she wants to “melt down” the class A substance with pharmacists to research “exactly what people take.”

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline she discussed how she is doing hoping to help others tackle their own demons with the TV project, which she will present.

She said: ‘We’re talking to three different channels right now and it’s basically a huge documentary about drugs and what a huge epidemic this country is… in all of Europe we are the worst epidemic for cocaine.

“In all of Europe, we’re the biggest country in Europe doing the most cocaine and crack cocaine and stuff like that. So for me I wanted to make a documentary about that and base it on it.’

Danniella revealed she’s hopeful her son Kai, 25, will get involved in the program, as she wonders if the drug will be disguised as “pharmaceutical s**t” to “kill us.”

She continued: ‘I was actually planning to shoot that with my son to interview families, drug dealers, just people in general, and see what it’s like, how easy it is to go and buy it.

“I want to take it to pharmacists and ask a pharmacist to melt everything down and see exactly what people are actually taking.

“Is it really cocaine or is it really just a load of pharmaceutical s**t that people put in and kill us, really?”

It was previously reported by The sun that Danniella’s new documentary is being watched by the broadcasters as part of a six-figure deal.

A source said: ‘The show is a documentary-style series that takes a look at Danniella’s life and will delve into the greatest battles she has conquered, as well as examining major issues in the world that affect thousands of people every day.

The documentary will show how Danniella overcame her addiction and rebuilt her family relationships. Fans get a chance to see a different side of Danniella.

“The commissioning of the show could be worth about half a million pounds.”

There has been a lot of publicity about the TV personality’s struggles with drugs, and she had her nose reconstructed after her septum collapsed in 2002 from excessive cocaine use.

The star has since embarked on multiple rehab bouts to battle her demons – revealing she was finally clean in 2020, after attending a clinic in Mijas, Spain.

Most recently, in September 2021, she vowed to give up cocaine and champagne after feeling like an “impostor” for relapsing during her battle with drug addiction.

Danniella revealed she has a packed work schedule next year and would love to return to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in the upcoming All Stars series.

The star, who starred in the 2003 series, confessed that she had not been approached to participate but is confident she would be crowned queen of the jungle if she returned.

She said in her new MailOnline interview: ‘I wasn’t asked to do that but I sure would now if they asked me to go back because then I was very spoiled, I was married, I literally broke down a nail and I cried and wanted to go home.

‘Since then I’ve been through a lot, I got divorced, I’ve been homeless… had a lot of stuff. I had a relapse, I came back from that, Cancer, I came back from that. So now when they ask me to compete for an All Stars, I know I can go in and just win it.

“I think I’m a stronger person because of everything I’ve been through. Before that I was very spoiled and very selfish.

“But now I think, yes, if I went back now, I know I would win it because I’ve been through some awful, hard times and I know nothing would bother me.”

The Walthamstow native was married to her ex-husband Kevin Jenkins just two years earlier and had recently welcomed son Kai and daughter Jodie, now 21.

She elaborated on her admission, saying, “Yeah, I was very spoiled. Especially when I was married, I was spoiled rotten. My ex-husband spoiled me, I got what I wanted.

“And then I went into the jungle, I was married to Kevin and my daughter had just turned one. I had never spent a night without my children until then.

“When I went into the jungle, I peed in a jar within three days and I thought, ‘Sod this, I want to go back to the [Palazzo] Versace [Hotel].”

‘Well, it wouldn’t bother me at all. I would go in there and do every task and everything and experience the whole thing.’

The TV personality said she would love to be joined in camp by previous contestant Katie Price, but having lived with Gemma Collins in the 2016 Celebrity Big Brother home, she would choose not to be with her again. to work.

She said, “I’d like to be with Kate. Me and Pricey are always smiling no matter what we do, so I’d love to be with Kate. Janet Street Porter. Some good people… no, not Gemma Collins, that buddy.

‘No, not with her, I wouldn’t want to be with her. I’ve already done Big Brother with her. Don’t make me go through another job,” she joked.

“Actually, there’s nothing bad about it, except I’ve already done a job at Gemma. But I think if I went in with Kate, we’d have fun. We’d be the kind that would jump in and just get a job done. I like Kate, Kate is cool.

“I also love Harvey and love watching everything Harvey does, he’s amazing. But there are a lot of people I’d like to go in with, Janet, Harry Redknapp.’
