Danniella Westbrook says she's been left with a one inch hole in her head following facial reconstruction surgery in Turkey.
The EastEnders star, 49, went under the knife last month in a bid to reconstruct her nose after its septum collapsed following years of drug abuse.
She had a surgical thread lift - a procedure where temporary stitches are used to produce a lift in the skin - and fat transfer in a bid to fix a past botched surgery.
But Danniella claims her nose is still the same - despite doctors putting '200 threads into it' - and says she's been left with 'big lumps of fluid over her belly'.
“I don’t know how it’s gone so wrong," she said. "I think it was a bit of miscommunication. I just wish I had never gone to Turkey to have it done. I will never have surgery abroad ever again."
After landing in Portugal following her operation, Danniella was rushed to hospital when her stitches burst and she 'lost sight in one eye'.
She explained to OK! magazine: “It wasn’t until I was washing my hair that I realised the stitches had come undone and I had an open wound."
“I literally have a hole on the side of my head. It’s about an inch long. I could actually put my finger in the hole, which was awful."
Claiming she looked like a Shar Pei because her face was so swollen, Danniella also said she wasn't able to take any painkillers due to her past cocaine addiction.
Opening up about the 'unimaginable pain' of the whole ordeal, the star revealed she felt so scared she would die on the operating table, she wrote a will.
Admitting she feels like "curling up and dying", the actress said she now has 'bits of thread sticking out of the top of her head' and a bald patch after her head was shaved during surgery.
Claiming she 'hates what she sees', the mum-of-two admits she's been put off by going under the knife again, but says there is 'one last operation she needs to have'.
The actress now hopes to have the bridge of her nose reconstructed in the Liverpool, saying as soon as she's healed she'll 'see what can be done'.
Danniella also has plans to get hitched to her boyfriend, revealing: “My fella David is back from jail soon, so I can’t wait to see him and I can’t wait to finally get married this year."
