Danniella Westbrook Sparks Concern As She Tweets From Hospital Bed

Danniella Westbrook sparked concern among her worried fans after sharing a photo taken in hospital yesterday (Aug 3).

The former Eastenders star has had a tough time recently and it doesn’t look like things are getting any easier after she uploaded a picture from a hospital room, alongside the caption: “Hospital swollen in pain and worn out. Thank you Remy for being with me and my George. #poorly (sic).”

After fans shared their fears for the 42-year-old star, she clarified: “I have an infection in my blood I’m very poorly! I have been in hospital YES! And this stalker s**t, @kentpolicemed still waiting 4 help!! (sic)”

On Tuesday (Aug 2) she also sparked concern after tweeting this cryptic message: “Just when you think it’s all OK… BAM you get hit by another wave… Do ya sink or swim… #SwimAlways”

Over the weekend, the Celebrity Big Brother star complained about feeling unwell as she reported to her followers: “Still feeling poorly and super swollen looking forward to my afternoon and evening out with my George (sic).”

The drama then escalated as it emerged that Danniella’s Twitter account had been hacked when she wrote: “Whoever is on my Twitter you’re SICK I’M NOT ON DRUGS! I’m VERY ILL WITH A BLOOD INFECTION @kentpolicemed Stop this (sic).”

After failing to receive the support that she required against the alleged internet warrior, she tweeted: “OK SO YOU LEAVE ME NO OPTION BUT TO CLOSE MY TWITTER @kentpolicemed @Support #STALKED #HACKED”

Before her departure, however, she recorded a video of herself explaining the extent of her problems, and once again stressed that she was not back on cocaine.

The soap star had a high-profile battle with the drug throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, which caused the complete erosion of her nasal septum, which ultimately saw her needing surgery to rebuild her nose.

In the message, she said: “I’ve been woken up from my sleep by friends. My account has been hacked again. I’ve been in hospital; I’ve had several teeth removed from a blood and bone infection through no fault of my own.

“I’m not taking drugs, I’m not pregnant, everything is fine with me and George I’m just very, very poorly from a blood infection. As you can see I’m not on drugs, I just look tired and knackered.”

Earlier in the night, tweets posted on the Danniella’s account seemed to suggest that her drug addiction was back – but the mum-of-two later dismissed the posts as the work of a cruel hacker.

One read: “Cocaine has ruined my life I’m lying in a hospital bed and still have some gear stashed in my bra i am a total mess and a screw up," while another added: "The sad thing is I will probably die just like all the legends and be remembered for sex, drugs and EastEnders.”

Addressing the situation with her “stalker” in the video, she added: “This stalker is absolutely trying to ruin my life. I’ve had to sell my car, they’ve had my car registration,” before confirming that Kent Medway Police had done “nothing to help.”

Blowing a kiss to her loyal followers, she concluded: “Thank you for all your support, lots of love everybody.”

Lots of love, Danniella – we sincerely hope that you feel better and receive the support that you need soon.
