Daniella Westbrook has been hospitalised days after receiving "life changing" surgery.
She previously underwent a cosmetic procedure in Turkey and shared pre-and post op snaps two weeks ago, showing her swollen and bandaged face. Now, Westbrook appears to have suffered a recovery set back, that has left her in "frightening pain".
Earlier this month, the ex-Eastenders actress underwent intense facial surgery to repair the damage caused by years of cocaine abuse and to counter act the effects of osteoporosis, the Mirror reports.
Posting an update on her Instagram stories on Friday, Daniella admitted that her road to recovery has been bumpy. Writing in last night's post, she said: “Only I could land back in Portugal after surgery only to end up in hospital.
“The pain I’ve experienced is unreal, most frightening few days."
As part of the operation, Daniella had 1,200 threads put into her face and liposuction to remove fat from her body and place it into her cheeks and lips. The doctors also aligned her nose as well as performing a fat grafting procedure on her chin and etched jawline.
After the op, she told The Sun how she feared she would die on the operating table, and even wrote out her last wishes. She said: "I was very fearful. My mum and my son Kai were on the phone constantly - I wrote up a will before I left and my son is the executor of that.
"But luckily I’m still here and I’ve come through the other side. Someone is looking over me.”
Ahead of the procedure, Danniella posted a message to fans on her Instagram page.
It read: "This comeback is personal, it's an apology to myself." She captioned the image: Major surgery in 24 hours it’s all about my time now #westie."
Reps for Danniella have been approached for comment.
