Danniella Westbrook revealed she once lived in her car and spoke candidly about the heartbreaking chapter of her life, but says she is now eyeing up a reality a TV comeback
Danniella Westbrook has opened up about the darkest moments in her life, including a shocking spell of homelessness, as she sets her sights on a major TV comeback.
The former EastEnders actress, 51, revealed she is keen to return to reality TV, with her sights firmly set on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! All Stars.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star in collaboration with casino.org, she told us she would “love” to do the next series of ITV All Stars.
The actress shared: “I would love to go back in now that I’m in a different place and mindset. I was a bit of a diva, a bit of a princess, very spoilt when I went in there before. But now I’ve gone through everything that I’ve been through, I think it’d be very different. At the end of the day, I’ve lived in my car, so why can’t I live in the jungle again?”
The actress first entered the Australian jungle back in 2003, during the third series of I’m A Celeb, where she became known for her fiery personality and diva-like behaviour. Sharing camp with the likes of John Lydon, Kerry Katona and Lord Brocket, her stint was a memorable one, but Danniella admits she was far from prepared for the harsh realities of jungle life.
Reflecting on that period, she said she now sees her previous behaviour in a different light. “I was young and spoilt, I didn’t have the life experience I have now. I think I’d approach it very differently today.”
Since her time in the spotlight, Danniella has endured very public struggles with addiction, health issues and financial troubles. Her most harrowing revelation, however, is that she once found herself without a roof over her head. “I’ve lived in my car,” she bravely admitted, making it clear she knows what true survival really means.
Despite the difficulties, the star is determined to keep moving forward and is eyeing more TV opportunities to show fans a new side to herself.
“Or I’d even love to do Big Brother again. That was so much fun,” she added, hinting at another possible return to reality TV.
