Danniella Westbrook gives career update as she awaits final reconstruction surgery

Danniella Westbrook is ready to make 2023 a big year ahead of tuning 50.

The 49-year-old soap star shared an update with fans on her Instagram. She explained she has huge plans ahead of her milestone birthday later this year.

The former EastEnders actress is awaiting the final part of her facial reconstruction journey. In the meantime, she has given fans a glimpse of what to expect from her in the next year - including taking on new acting roles, releasing a book and being reunited with her Scouse lover, David.

Danniella wrote: "Can’t thank Natalie @ncaesthetics_x you’ve boosted my confidence so much with the procedures you gave me. I’m ready to have my last operation next week then after that watch out world cos I’m back!

"@daddytheagency has loads of acting work signed off for me including my own one woman show produced by @simongrossshowbiz in the West End a new autobiography which will be my third but also my first tell all book…

"I have the amazing @milesaddison8 ready to get me in shape physically after my operation ready for my West End run and various other filming commitments I have… it’s going to be a busy year."

She thanked fans for the support as she added: "My David home later this year and I turn 50 in November. So a huge thank you to all of you for your support in the glory days and the dark times. I am so full of gratitude to everyone. #maybeshesbornwithit #westie."

The mum-of-two revealed last year that she was getting facial reconstructive surgery on the NHS after private plastic surgeons said it would cost £500,000. At the time, she said that she would need five operations to correct her 'collapsing' face due to a previous cocaine addiction and osteoporosis.
