Danniella Westbrook ‘In Talks’ For Potential EastEnders Return

Fresh from a long stay in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Danniella Westbrook has been talking about a potential return to EastEnders - and it looks like it could be good news for Sam Mitchell fans.

Hurrah!

The fab Danniella, who came fifth in the CBB final, appeared on This Morning today (February 8) alongside hilarious fellow housemate Tiffany Pollard and Bit On The Side host extraordinaire Rylan Clark-Neal.

Quizzed by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on any potential plans for a Sam Mitchell comeback on EastEnders, Danniella revealed: “They’re in talks with my agent at the moment, but I’ve been offered a different soap that’s more long, that I’ll probably go to. [The role is] probably more long-running.

“But I’m not going to say I won’t be going back to EastEnders for a small while.

“But I’m an actor, and as much as I loved doing EastEnders, loved being Sam Mitchell, I want to be seen to do other roles as well. I want to change up a bit. I’m a bit older and I want to try and do other things.

“[But] you’ll probably see a little bit of Sam Mitchell this year.”

In the interview, Danniella also spoke about how much it meant to have her kids be proud of her.

She explained: “For my kids to be able to go to school and work and not have to defend me about magazine articles, that I’m not this and not that, and for them to say ‘I’m proud of you’, that’s probably the best thing that will ever happen to me.”
