Danniella Westbrook splits from fiancé weeks after saying how happy she was with him

Former EastEnders star, Danniella Westbrook, has split from her fiancé, who she has been with for six years. The 48-year-old actress is said to be heartbroken at how her relationship has come to an end but believes it's the best decision for her and her career.

In March, Danniella revealed that her former partner, David, 28, was in prison but confessed the pair were very much in love and engaged. She had said that she was happy with how things were between them. Despite this, she has now concluded that a split is best for the pair.

The actress has previously joked that her 'toyboy' fiancé ' kept her young' when discussing the 20-year age gap between them. You can get more celebrity news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
