Danniella Westbrook shares worrying post about 'needing time to breathe'

Danniella Westbrook has made a worrying post on Instagram saying she "needs time to breathe".

The former EastEnders star, 47, took to her Instagram account on Friday morning to share a statement from her management, which said she was going to "better herself mentally and physically".

Her post comes after she had a very public spat with her ex-boyfriend Brian Harvey, accusing him of being on cocaine, which he strenuously denied.

In her post this week, Danniella asked for privacy and said she would keep her fans updated.

The statement from her manager read: "On behalf of Danniella's management we have recommended Danniella only keeps contact with close friends and family.

"At this moment, Danniella needs time to breath, we are all only human and deserve to deal with problems with out continuous outsider opinions [sic].

"Danniella will continue to better herself mentally and physically.

"And she is still going to keep you updated on her journey.

"Keep safe, keep happy and keep surviving."

The message was signed "Danniella's management".
