Danniella Westbrook has been left “devastated” after parting ways from her jailed fiancée David.
Although now heartbroken, the EastEnders actress, 48, is hoping to focus on herself and her career once again.
While the pair had been romantically linked for six years, David, 29, never appeared in any of Danniella’s pictures without being obscured from view.

“She feels as though she has done the right for both of them although she is heartbroken.
“Danniella is going to take time to focus on herself, her surgery and her career.”
Daily Star has contacted Danniella’s spokesperson for further comment.
Back in May, the star, who is better known for her role as Sam Mitchell on Albert Square, seemed smitten with her younger beau, telling Daily Star that David, who is 19 years her junior, “kept her young”.

The former BBC One star compared herself to her former on-screen mum Peggy Mitchell – the late Barbara Windsor – who also had a significantly younger husband in real life.
She told us: “I’m just having a good time, I’m managed by young people – my children, my friends. They keep me edgy.
“David is young and he’s 28, coming up for 29. David will be 30 when I’m 50. But I’m like Barbara Windsor with Scott, she had a young one. Vanessa Feltz and Ben – they all have young other halves.
“Everyone has toy boys. I’m living the dream, they keep me young.”
