Model Danielle Mason, who is the half sister of EastEnders legend Jessie Wallace, has opened up about her new life in lockdown due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, admitting she’s turned to booze to help her cope.
The My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star says while she would only have a glass or two of alcohol a week she’s now regularly downing a bottle a night.
Speaking frankly, the blonde babe said: “I’ve never been a big drinker.
“I didn’t start drinking alcohol until I was 24 and then I would drink loads and could go weeks without touching a drop.

“But I have to admit, since being on lockdown it has made me reach for the bottle at 6pm every night and often I finish it.”
Explaining why she thinks she’s turned to booze, Danielle added to Closer magazine: “There are a few reasons behind it.
“One is that I’m self medicating my anxiety.

“I’ve suffered for a few years but I usually manage it by going to the gym for about an hour after dropping the children at school.
“The endorphins and having a routine really help but I can’t do that now and I’m struggling to get motivated to workout at home.
“Also if I’m honest I’m bored. I feel bad saying that as I adore spending time with my children but I crave adult company.”

Danielle says she is aware she drink to much and is hoping to go back to her normal routine as soon as lockdown is lifted.
“I’ve been drinking at least a bottle of wine a day,” she added before explaining how she’s also been trying out other alcoholic tipples she wouldn’t normally buy due to having nowhere to go.
