Danniella Westbrook left with gaping hole in her head as 'botched' Turkey surgery goes wrong

Former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook says she has been left with a gaping one-inch hole in her head following a 'botched' surgical procedure in Turkey. The actress has now vowed she will 'never go abroad for surgery again' following the horrifying ordeal.

Over the years, Danniella's changing face has been cause for concern for many of her fans. The 49-year-old, who rose to fame for her role as Sam Mitchell in EastEnders, publicly battled with her addiction to cocaine.

The mum-of-two's addiction became so severe, her septum and columella began to erode. Because of this, Danniella has been dedicated to getting her nose reconstructed - which has required several bouts of surgery.
