According to reports, Danniella, 48, was rushed to hospital following a sinus infection.

Danniella shared a health update with fans (Instagram)

Sharing a health update with her fans on Friday, Danniella thanked Aintree Hospital for their support.

She said: "Face healing still, but so grateful to Aintree Hospital."

In recent months, Danniella has been on a "four-part journey of reconstructive surgery " to improve her looks after bones in her face "rotted" due to past drug abuse.

The transformation came about after she could no longer deal with the endless ‘hate’ she gets on social media because of her appearance.

Since undergoing the cosmetic procedures the star has shared a few selfies with the world showing off her newfound confidence.

Danniella has spent a lot of time in Liverpool recently, which she affectionately calls "Scouseland".
