Danniella Westbrook has opened up exclusively to the Daily Star about her new man.
The EastEnders icon shared the ins and outs of her current relationship which has kept everyone on their toes and wondering who he is.
The blonde bombshell, 48, revealed all there is to know, about where they met, future wedding plans and plenty of “sleepless nights”.
The actress revealed that his name is David, he’s 28, he’s from Liverpool and a big Liverpool FC fan.
She said: “I’ve known him for years. I met him in 2017 out in Spain and when we were both living out there and we got together out there and it was a tumultuous relationship it was on off all the time.

“But we just stayed in touch and he went to jail early 2019 and he got 9 years 9 months. He’s home next year though, he’s got 11 months to go.”
She continued: “He got done for counterfeit goods and he had a fight with someone, an affray, I didn’t go to court or anything, I wasn’t with him when he was arrested, that was when we split up.”
Danniella then explained they had been in touch over the year and she got his details through his family, to which she then wrote a heartfelt letter to him when he was inside.

The TV star explained: “I wrote to him when I was poorly with the cancer cells saying ‘no hard feelings’ and he asked me to come in and visit him and we haven’t really looked back from there, and we’ve been together for a year or so now.”
David has already popped the question to her many times, though she is making him wait officially until he’s out of prison.
She said: “I’ve got a big ring that was made for me, and I wore it into the jail and David said ‘it was lovely but it’s not big enough’ so there is a bigger one coming.

“He has asked me to marry him but I told him to wait until he gets home. He asks me all the time, he even asked me at the jail. He didn’t get down on one knee or anything but he’s like ‘we are getting married you know.'”
Danniella and David plan to get hitched in the Maldives as soon as he is allowed to travel for a mega lavish wedding.
She says it’s “impossible” to have a physical relationship with someone in jail but luckily they have already consummated the relationship before.
Danniella stated: “Yeah, it has been because we lived together in Marbella. I wouldn’t wait that long to see if he’s any good. Bloody hell….

“There’s nothing like that going on now though, they listen in to all your phone calls and screen the emails and photocopy all of the letters so we can’t risk anything rude on there as all the screws will see it first.
“But there will be many sleepless nights on my gorgeous new bed once he’s out.”
She also touched upon their age gap and quipped: “I’m like Barbara Windsor with Scott, she had a young one. Everyone has toyboys now, I’m just living the dream.”
Danniella also declared David as “the one” and revealed that he will be going to work at Netflix on their licensing team once he’s out of jail.

She shared: “He’s starting a new career and going to work with Netflix on the licensing team. He’s got a job lined up and he’s not interested in going back to Liverpool or seeing any of his own crowd, he just wants to stay well away from there.
“We have been through so much together and he really is my best mate he’s been let down by so many people and he’s like brother my fella, so it’s really nice.
“My kids haven’t met him but I used to be on FaceTime to them all the time in Spain so they know who David is. He’s a good guy,” she concluded.
