Danniella Westbrook plans to sue the BBC after the character she played in the BBC soap is being reprised without her.
The actress, 48, was originally cast to play Sam Mitchell at the heart of the Walford based drama as the daughter of Albert Square matriarch Peggy Mittchell, back in the 1990s.
But after exiting the show - during Danniella's high profile drug addiction - the role was recast and actress Kim Medcalf took on the character before Daniella returned for a string of episodes in 2009 and was last seen on screen in 2016.
