Danniella Westbrook posts rare photo of son Kai as he switches up his look

Danniella Westbrook shared a rare picture of her son Kai rocking a brand new look.

She took to Instagram to post the snap of her 24-year-old son looking suave with bleached blonde hair that was braided.

He was wearing a white button-up shirt, black tie, black trousers and a trench coat as he smoked a cigarette.

"This time last year. It’s gone so fast, crazy to think of all the things this kid fitted into one year," she captioned the post.

She also tagged her son on the Instagram Story and added a Junior song called Mama Used To Say.

Danniella dated Robert Fernandez, with the two going on to have Kai.

She then married businessman Kevin Jenkins in 2001, almost four months after the birth of their daughter Jodie B. Jenkins.

Her post comes after she honestly revealed that she relapsed in her drug and alcohol addiction, but is on the journey to getting help again.

In a candid post on social media, the former EastEnders actress admitted she "slipped" after leaving rehab but is now "done with the drinking" as she embraces sobriety again.

The actress has struggled with addiction for many years, dating back to when she was a teenager playing Sam Mitchell on the BBC One soap.

In a frank and honest post on Instagram, the mum-of-two admitted that while she hadn't hit "rock bottom this time", she claims that "cocaine and Champagne ain’t got the high" she wants.

"Ok so here goes …. HONESTY POST," she began the lengthy update to her fans last month.

"Ok so it’s no secret since leaving rehab I’ve slipped and slides more than I have been straight I guess."

Danniella added: "But today I’ve joined a new gym restarted my herbal life and going back to the rooms tonight.

"I’m done with the drinking the occasional packet and night out I’m totally over it."

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant then went on to discuss the period of her life she spent free of drugs and alcohol.
