Danniella Westbrook 'dating rich businessman' one week after split from jailed fiancé

Ex EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook split from her jailbird fiancé just last week and it now seems she's already moved on as she's reportedly dating a 'rich businessman'.

The former Sam Mitchell actress had been dating fiance David on and off for seven years and planned to tie the knot shortly after he was released this coming September. Danniella was even spotted out trying on wedding dresses just days before their split came to light, writes The Mirror.

The 49-year-old and her 29-year-old partner were said to have called time on their relationship because they had both 'changed', which is said to have left Danniella heartbroken.

However, it seems that Danniella isn't dwelling on the past and is said to already have moved on with her new man that she reportedly met whilst holidaying in Turkey.

A source told The Sun: "Danniella was heartbroken by her latest split, but she’s quickly found herself a new man. She met a wealthy businessman in Turkey last week and he’s been spoiling her with presents. Danniella loves being in his company and is over the moon with her latest romance.

"It’s still fresh but she does genuinely like him and will continue travelling back and forth to see him."

Danniella was pictured trying on wedding dresses on Monday (3 July) before the news that they had split broke on Tuesday (4 July).

A friend close to Danniella told The Sun that the Celebrity Big Brother star was left "heartbroken" by the shock separation. They said: "Danniella was heartbroken last night.

"Both Danniella and David have decided to cancel their wedding plans and, it seems, their whole relationship.

"She has spent nearly seven years travelling all over the country to visit him but it seems the closer he is to coming home, the more the cracks are showing. They have both just changed so much since they first got together."

Following their shock split, Danniella took to Instagram to share a cryptic quote.

She shared an image of a quote which read "It’s okay to disappear until you feel like you again". Alongside it Danniella wrote: "Catch flights not feelings #clarity."

Speaking of her wedding plans last year, Danniella said: ""He has asked me to marry him but I told him to wait until he gets home. He asks me all the time, he even asked me at the jail."

"He didn't get down on one knee or anything but he's like, 'we are getting married you know'".

Representatives of Daniella have been contacted for comment.
