Danniella Westbrook is hoping to house some Ukrainian people in need and has even considered adopting a baby with her partner David.
The TV icon exclusively spoke with the Daily Star about her new relationship and her desire to help people in need from Ukraine.
Talking about housing homeless Ukrainians, she said: “Yeah, I’m still going ahead with that. I don’t understand why people wouldn’t want to do that. Though I can’t work out how they give you £350 a month for a family when your local council gets £10k per person a year.
“But I’ll take anyone who needs it. I don’t need all the space, it’s only me at home at the moment and I’m waiting for the process to go further through.

However, Danniella revealed her application will have to be altered as she is moving away from Yorkshire countryside and back down South to help look after her dad who has dementia and for more work opportunities.
She continued: “But now I’m moving back down South, I have to change it to a different area but iI still plan on doing it.
“It’s only me at home as my children have moved out and I remember what it was like to be homeless myself and have nobody there to take me in.”

The actress, has 48, then revealed that adopting a Ukrainian baby may help build a new family of hers, with her 28-year-old partner.
Danniella explained: “As you get older you realise what is important in life, it’s like me with my fella now, we’ve known each other for years and gone back and forth.
“He eventually would have liked to have children, but I can’t have any more children. When I went to see him on Saturday in jail I was like ‘do you know what, all these Ukrainian babies, they’ve got all these thousands of Ukrainian babies that can’t be adopted.

“And I was like ‘maybe we should adopt a baby’, and he was like ‘maybe we should’.
“There are so many children over there with no parents, or we could adopt a five-year-old or something.
“I so would, I really would, because I love my house full of kids and mine have moved out now they are 26 and 21 now. I can’t physically because of my menopause now, but David definitely wants them.”
Her partner is currently in prison for counterfeit goods and is set to be out in 11 months and shortly after the couple plan to tie the knot in the Maldives.
David has already popped the question many times but Danniella is waiting for the engagement to be official once he’s out and asks her again.
