Danniella Westbrook apologises to mum for 'heartbreak' and 'embarrassment'

Danniella Westbrook has penned an emotional message in appreciation of her mum.

Taking to Instagram, alongside a selfie of the former EastEnders star and her mum, Susan, Danniella wrote a touching tribute for the "unconditional love" she had received. In it, she thanked her mum helping her through hard times even though she caused her "worry, embarrassment, heartache and false hope."

The 48-year-old actress is currently working hard to get her life back on track after struggling with drug abuse, which began when she played the role of Sam Mitchell on the BBC soap. She had been sober for 14 years before relapsing in 2014.
