Danniella in need of help not hacking

POOR Danniella Westbrook. This week she was forced to issue a statement saying her social media accounts had been hacked after worrying messages appeared claiming she was pregnant and had been hospitalised following a drug addiction relapse.

Whether or not there is any truth in the latest rumours, upsetting ph photos and videos of Danniella tur turn up online almost daily.

Her chronic cocaine addiction ha has destroyed both her personal life and her career.

She’s admitted she snorted the dru drug in the delivery room while giv giving birth to her son Kai and her ha habit played a big part in her split fro from ex-husband Kevin Jenkins.

Recent stints on Hollyoaks and Ea EastEnders, the soap where she ma made her name as Sam Mitchell, we were cut short amid rum rumours that she wa was again str struggling to co conquer her de demons.

As an actor, I kn know how fr frustrating it is w when someone turns up late for filming, as it’s claimed Danniella did.

You let down your castmates, t the crew and the writers. Yet what is so tragic is that Da Danniella is such a talent.

In the four episodes in which she rec recently appeared as Sam she was ma magnificent – an asset to the show w which made her a household na name. Her Twitter feed is h heartbreaking. Her need to tell t the world her business via social media just makes her seem even more vulnerable and lonely while at the same time making her a target for nasty trolls.

But Danniella needs pity, not criticism. I certainly hope she can find peace. If not for her own sake, but for that of her children, who must be going through hell every time she hits rock bottom.
