Danniella Westbrook teases new role with Love Island's Jack Fincham after EastEnders snub

Danniella Westbrook has revealed that her latest acting role will see her work alongside Love Island winner Jack Fincham - who she's described as 'like a son to her'.

The actress, 48, is best known for starring on BBC soap EastEnders on and off from 1990 to 2016 - though she's since hinted she will never return - after being replaced as Sam Mitchell.

Danniella has instead expressed interest in returning to the stage, with her having trained at Sylvia Young Theatre School and performed on the West End when she was younger.
