Danniella Westbrook in hospital with 'unreal' pain just weeks after surgery

Former Eastenders star Danniella Westbrook is in hospital days after 'life-changing' facial surgery in Turkey. The 49-year-old star shared pre and post op images to her fans on Instagram two weeks ago, which included her face looking swollen.

But in her recent Instagram story, the TV personality posted a mysterious update about her health, The Mirror reports. She wrote: "Only I could land back in Portugal after surgery only to end up in hospital.

Earlier this month, the Sam Mitchell actress underwent intense facial surgery to repair the damage caused by years of cocaine abuse and to counter act the effects of osteoporosis.
