Danniella Westbrook has revealed that she is back in hospital – and her bank account has been closed.
The 48-year-old actress, who underwent surgery in November for a sinus infection, did not disclose the reason for her visit on Wednesday, but noted her ‘mental health anxiety’ as she provided her Twitter followers with an update.
She penned on the microblogging site: ‘@monzo I’ve been with Monzo for years and at 7am I get a text saying my accounts being closed yet no one can tell me why? I suffer mental health anxiety & I’m currently in hospital.

‘I have bad credit & no other bank will give me an account&you won’t tell me why it’s being closed’.
In November, the former EastEnders star was forced to go to theatre at Aintree University Hospital, after doctors feared the nasty sinus infection, which saw her end up in ICU, could ‘reach her brain’.
The following day, Danniella announced that the surgery had been a ‘huge success’.
It comes after she paid tribute to her 20-year-old daughter Jodie this week, gushing that she ‘makes my heart whole.’

The TV star shared a pouting selfie of them on her Story, shedding light on their repaired relationship.
Danniella, whose battle with drugs has been well-publicised, revealed in 2019 that she hadn’t spoken to Jodie for three years, which was ‘very difficult’ especially ‘since she’d been ill’ – referring to her womb cancer battle.
Yet it was water under the bridge for the mother-and-daughter, as the former Albert Square resident detailed.
‘Today and everyday I feel gratitude for BB Bell @JodieBJenkins 4 forgiving me and letting back in her life . She makes my heart whole’, the proud mum wrote alongside the photo.
The Londoner shares Jodie with ex-husband Kevin Jenkins, who she was finally granted a divorce from in 2020 – six years after they separated.

She also has a son, Kai, 25, with ex-partner Robert Fernandez.
After splitting with Robert, the TV star married van driver Ben Morgan in 1998 after knowing him for eight weeks but they divorced nine months later.
In January 2019, Danniella admitted on the Jeremy Vine TV show Jodie had been living with her father Kevin amid her terrifying stalker ordeal and devastating womb cancer battle.
While they hadn’t communicated in a long time, the troubled star confessed that her ‘gorgeous’ and ‘brilliant’ daughter was in a ‘safer and much better environment’ and was doing well in college.
While she was estranged from Jodie, she had a much closer relationship with Kai, who she admitted had ‘looked after her since she’s been sick.’
‘He’s been great to me and he’s good mate as well as anything else. He’s come through a lot of stuff and he’s a great kid and we’re very close.
‘People think my son is my carer, that’s not true. He’s a very well put together kid. My son didn’t lose his childhood, he’s had a very privileged one at times and a very poverty stricken one at times, that’s what people don’t understand.
‘People think he has been born with a silver spoon in his mouth but he really hasn’t he’s lived in homeless shelters and in my car with me. There’s been times when he’s had to stuff for us to survive,’ she stated.

It came amid the actress beginning reconstruction surgery after osteoporosis rotted away her cheekbones and gums.
Danniella made the decision to undergo surgery after her previous addiction to cocaine and a botched surgery in 2015 left her with decaying bones.
At the height of her drug use, it was reported she would take up to five grams of cocaine a day, blowing close to £250,000 on the drug.
The star has since embarked on multiple rehab stints in order to battle her demons – and revealed she was finally clean in June 2020, after attending a clinic in Mijas, Spain.
