Danniella Westbrook has reportedly separated from her jailbird fiancé just months before he is due to be released from prison.
Last year, the former EastEnders star, 49, announced that she is waiting for her husband-to-be to propose to her in style once he is no longer behind bars.
While her betrothed, 28, finishes the final few months of his sentence, the actress has been planning their wedding in style.

But now it appears as though the big bash has been called off after it was reported that the duo have called it quits on their on-and-off seven-year relationship.
According to sources, David is serving time in prison for counterfeit goods and engaging in various physical altercations.
But the star is understood to be released in September just in time to celebrate Danniella’s 50th birthday.

Now, a friend of the soap star has reportedly told The Sun of their “split” which happened on Tuesday (July 4).
They told the publication: “Danniella was heartbroken last night. Both Danniella and David have decided to cancel their wedding plans and it seems, their whole relationship.
“She has spent nearly seven years travelling all over the country to visit him but it seems the closer he is to coming home, the more the cracks are showing.
“They have both just changed so much since they first got together.”

The sudden news came just hours after the mum-of-two was seen picking out her wedding dress with her friends and family.
Danniella was the vision of beauty as she slipped into a princess-style gown which featured an embellished bodice and voluminous tulle skirt.
She styled the ensemble with a floor-length veil which was secured in place with a silver tiara to make her the perfect blushing bride.

Last year, Danniella opened up about her wedding plans with David, who is 20 years her junior.
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?’.”
