PENNILESS DANNIELLA IN £2,000 MUGGING

Enders star’s moped terror

- By LAUREN CLARKE lauren.clarke@dailystar.co.uk

DANNIELLA Westbrook was left “shaken up” after being mugged by two thugs on a moped.

The troubled star was on holiday in Marbella when the thieves ripped her designer handbag from her shoulder.

The £1,380 Prada bag contained £600 cash in euros, her work phone, an expensive watch and clothes.

Danniella – who has previously described herself as “penniless” – was almost dragged down the road.

The ex-EastEnders actress said: “F***ing hell, I’m shook up. I’m an old girl now. It could have been a lot worse.

“I’m literally walking along one minute on the phone and I just felt something pull me fast. It was like when someone pushes you to go by fast.

“As it pulled me I said, ‘Pardon me,’ and I just saw my bag starting to go with it.

“I started to get half dragged and I just put my arm out and the bag just came off my arm and they just went.

“It could have been a lot worse, he could have dragged me down the bloody road with it.”

The 43-year-old has had cash flow issues over the past year after a battle with septicaemi­a forced her out of work.

Despite her frightenin­g ordeal, Danniella escaped unhurt.

And she admitted she still feels safe in the Spanish resort. She said: “I live in an apartment which is good to me.

“I park underneath and I’ve got concierge downstairs so everything’s fine so I’m not fussed by that.

“My days of having big villas and swimming pools are long gone.”
