Danniella Westbrook is in hospital after returning from Turkey where she underwent facial surgery. The ex-EastEnders star, 49, shared painful looking photos of herself pre and post op two weeks ago, including photos of her face looking incredibly swollen and taped up.
Last night she shared an update to her Instagram stories about her road to recovery - and it seems she’s suffered a mystery setback. She wrote: “Only I could land back in Portugal after surgery only to end up in hospital.
“The pain I’ve experienced is unreal most frightening few days. Need its like a hole in the head literally…”
Reps for Danniella have been approached for comment.
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, the Mirror reports.
She had had 1,200 threads put into her face and liposuction to remove fat from her body and place it into her cheeks and lips. The doctors also aligned her nose, performed a fat grafting procedure on her chin and etched jawline.
After the op, she told the Sun that she feared she would die on the operating table, and even wrote out her last wishes.

She said: "I was very fearful. My mum and were on the phone constantly - I wrote up a will before I left and my son is the executor of that.
"But luckily I’m still here and I’ve come through the other side. Someone is looking over me.”
Ahead of the procedure, Danniella posted a message to fans on her page - which could have been her last goodbye if her fears had manifest.
It read: "This comeback is personal, it's an apology to myself."
She captioned the image: Major surgery in 24 hours it’s all about my time now #westie."
It’s not just a new face that Danniella will see in her future. She is set to wed her jailbird fiancé David, and has even bought a gorgeous champagne coloured gown to wear when she meets him at the altar.
