Danniella Westbrook's new 'spiritual' life in Welsh countryside after drug addiction

Danniella Westbrook has moved to the Welsh countryside in a bid to "feed her soul" after what's been a rocky few weeks.

The former EastEnders star, 47, recently endured a very public spat with her ex-boyfriend Brian Harvey, accusing him of being on cocaine, which he strenuously denied.

And Danniella - who herself has battled a serious cocaine addiction in the past - has overhauled her lifestyle as she shared a snap of Welsh town Aberystwyth, The Sun reports.

"Life’s good, soul will be fed and spiritually topped up in no time," she told fans.

A local then responded to her post: "Welcome to God’s country."

The soap star also shared a video after a morning jog, telling fans: “Still smashing the running and herbal life.

“I have dealt with my demons and I’m out and living.”

The star's rep told The Mirror: "Danniella has always enjoyed the country side, which is why she’s back permanently as it’s what’s best to continue on the road of recovery.

"The welsh have gave her a warm welcome and she’s happy there. As they say a little bit of country life if good for the soul."

Danniella left fans worried earlier this week after she shared a worrying post on Instagram saying she "needs time to breathe".

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

"Her messages, comments and emails have been full of questions as well as press trying to get information."

The statement went on: "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."

She shared a statement from her management, which said she was going to "better herself mentally and physically".

The message was signed "Danniella's management".

A rep for Danniella told The Mirror: "Danniella will continue to better herself mentally and physically.

"And she will keep you updated on her journey."

It comes after Danniella clashed with her ex Brian Harvey on social media.

The exes, who dated from 1991 until 1995, had a spat when Danniella accused him of being "on coke" after he called her a murderer and a paedophile.

Brian fired back: "Im fed up with your lies and your cover ups. And talking me up like I love him, I care.

"'He's a c***, he's on coke.' I ain't on coke. I'm offering you the chance to prove to this country you aren’t on coke and I'll do exactly the same.

He went on: "I haven't seen her for 15 years or whatever it is."

It comes after Danniella accused Brian of being a "paranoid coke freak" - which the singer vehemently denies.
