Danniella Westbrook's daughter 'not sure' if she's attending mum's wedding to jailbird

Danniella Westbrook is set to marry her jailbird fiancé but her youngest daughter Jodie is not sure whether she will attend her mum's special day.

The 48-year-old former EastEnders star met her fiancé David, 28, in Marbella and the pair are planning on marrying in the Maldives as soon as he is released from prison which could be as early as next year.

Jodie Jenkins, 20, told Daily Star : ""I don't really get involved with all that, I let her get on with her love life, and she lets me get on with mine, and that's just how it's always worked."

When asked if she would be attending the wedding, Jodie told the publication: ""I'm not sure, to be honest, but that sounds like mum as no doubt it will be extravagant."

Jodie did express that she is happy for her mum and shared that she doesn't 'really get involved with all that' when it comes to her mum's love life.

Jodie is the youngest child of Danniella and her ex-husband Kevin Jenkins and she has an older brother called Kai.

She also confirmed that though the wedding is tipped to take place as early as 2023 she is yet to meet her mum's fiancé but insists that the Danniella and David go way back having originally met in Marbella when the former soap star lived out there.

Jodie said: "I've never met him, no, never, so I don't really know what he is like. But he seems nice from what I've heard."

Since David is currently serving time in prison it's not likely that Jodie will have the chance to meet her mum's fiancé for a while and she has not confirmed whether she will attend the wedding at all.

Though the mother and daughter duo have admitted they don't get too involved in each other's love lives, Jodie said that she once wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps into the world of showbiz and did not entirely rule out the possibility of a role in EastEnders, the show in which her mother played the character Sam Mitchell.

Jodie told Daily Star: "I grew up with my goal to be an actress or in West End musicals.

"I did a few musicals in school but I was going to go to Sylvia Young and follow in my mum's footsteps. But media and advertising took me completely away from that."

Talking about whether she would be up for a role on EastEnders, she said: "If I just moved in it might be a little bit disheartening for the people who have been doing it for ages.

"I mean I would definitely consider but I don't know if I've got the capacity in talent to do it."

Danniella revealed she was engaged to David in April this year after she shared that he had popped the question several times before she said yes to his proposal.

She told the publication how she is able to keep youthful thanks to her toyboy fiancé: ""But I'm like the Barbara Windsor with Scott, she had a young one. Vanessa Feltz and Ben - they all have young other halves.

"Everyone has toyboys. I'm living the dream, they keep me young."

It is not clear when the wedding will take place as the couple will have to wait for David's release before they can confirm a date and it is yet to be seen whether Jodie will be in attendance.
