Danniella Westbrook has taken to Instagram to show off her new nose after surgery which saw doctors attempt to reconstruct her face.
The former EastEnders actress gave a cheeky smirk to the camera as she posed with her arm in her blonde hair, her wrist adorned with gold bangles.
She styled her short hair in a lob and wore minimal makeup which highlighted her natural beauty.
The 48-year-old wore mascara and a nude lipstick as she smirked whilst wearing a black v-neck top.
Danniella wrote in the caption: “Just minding my business,” and added the hashtag “my business”.
She has turned off comments for the post.
The star has recently opened up about her struggles and past trauma, admitting that she “wasted years hating herself” on a podcast episode with Paul Danan.

She bravely spoke about her personal thoughts on her appearance and the heartbreaking clip showed her candid discussion.
Westbrook said: “It’s taken me 48 years to get to that point and I can’t say I’ll be there tomorrow. The worst thing I have done is throwing my life away, hating myself, the years I have wasted not liking the person I am.”
The former actress has publicly struggled with substance abuse for most of her life and during her recent surgery, doctors removed part of her rib cage and used the material to reconstruct areas of her face.

Danniella’s face and septum began to decay after years of drug addiction which left her with a collapsed jaw and cheekbone.
The surgery, which she is currently undergoing, was the second of five planned reconstructive surgeries which will hopefully restore her self esteem.
The actress, who starred as Sam Mitchell in EastEnders on and off from 1990 to 2016, regularly updates her Instagram profile to keep her 93,700 followers informed on her life.

She recently admitted that she was “fuming” after an illness which left her housebound and unable to attend an event.
The mother-of-two complained that she was spending “another sunny day” indoors, which made her “so not happy”.
She then reposted a video from the event she was meant to be attending later that night and apologised to hopeful fans who were expecting to see her there.
