Danniella Westbrook ‘SPLITS’ from her jailbird fiancé just months before he is due to be released – after she was seen trying on bridal gowns mere days ago
Danniella Westbrook has reportedly split from her jailbird fiancé just months before he is due to be released from prison.
The EastEnders star, 49, announced last year that she was waiting on David to be released from prison so that he could propose in style.
And earlier this week she was pictured trying on wedding dresses ahead of what was going to be her big day.
But now it has been reported that the couple have called it quits after a seven-year on-off relationship.
It has been reported that David is serving time in prison for counterfeit goods and engaging in various physical altercations but will be released in September, just before her 50th birthday.

A friend of the star reportedly told The Sun of their ‘split’ which happened on Tuesday: ‘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 reported split came about fast as she was seen on Monday trying on wedding dresses.
She was a blushing bride as she slipped into a princess style gown with an embellished bodice and voluminous tulle skirt.
She added to the glamorous ensemble with a floor length veil that was secured in place with a glittering silver tiara.
Danniella looked in good spirits during the fitting despite the fact she was still recovering after ‘nightmare’ facial reconstruction surgery.

Having her say: Danniella denied last year that they had split as she showed off her engagement ring
Last year, Danniella spoke about her wedding plans with David, who at 28 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.”‘
The pair were previously in a ‘tumultuous’ relationship after meeting each other other in Spain five years ago.
Yet despite their ‘up-and-down’ romance, Danniella explained to The Daily Star: ‘We just stayed in touch and he went to jail early 2019 and he got 9 years 9 months. He’s home next year though, he’s got 11 months to go.’
The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate has been married twice before.
Her first marriage was to van driver Ben Morgan in 1998, but they divorced nine months later.
In 2001, the star married businessman Kevin Jenkins, almost four months after the birth of their daughter Jodie. They divorced in 2020.
Danniella is also focusing on her appearance after her nightmare surgery at a clinic in Turkey which she had in a desperate bid to save her collapsing face.
The actress- whose wounds have been stitched up with non-dissolvable fishing wire – previously detailed the horrifying procedure as she revealed she will ‘go back’ to her original doctor in the UK to have corrective surgery.
She claimed the painful operation she has waited years for was performed without anaesthesia.
Danniella alleged the surgeon even slapped her during the op, and her phone was confiscated by an assistant as she begged for him to stop.
She said: ‘He was going to me, “Stop crying, stop crying.” I said, “I’m in a lot of pain. Please, please. I’m frightened. I’m in a lot of pain. I didn’t know this was going to happen.” It was really frightening’.
She then began to panic, and continued to tell the doctor she was in serious pain, but she said he told her to ‘Stop f*****g moving, I tell you, stop moving.’
Despite undergoing another procedure in Turkey in a bid to save her collapsing face, Danniella has since admitted she hates her new look.
Danniella had a thread lift, liposuction in her cheeks and lips, fat grafting on her chin and her jawline etched after her septum collapsed from excessive drug use in 2002.
Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a photo of herself taken before the surgery and said she couldn’t believe what had been done to her.
She wrote: ‘Three months ago I looked like this and thought I looked awful. I’d give my world to look like this again…
‘I can’t believe what’s been done to me with this surgery.’
Nuptials: Later on her social media she also hinted she had found her perfect wedding dress as she shared a snap of a lace gown and wrote ‘everything’ in the caption
Past: In 2001, she married businessman Kevin Jenkins, almost four months after the birth of their daughter Jodie. They divorced in 2020 (pictured in 2002). She was previously married to Ben Morgan in 1998
When Danniella first woke up after the lengthy procedure, she said she looked ‘like she had done 10 rounds with Tyson Fury’.
She wanted the reconstruction for the past seven years, but was unable to find a surgeon who would operate because her septum had completely collapsed.
The actress’ battle with drugs has been well-publicised, and she famously had her nose reconstructed after her septum collapsed from excessive cocaine use in 2002.
At the height of her use it was reported she would take up to five grams of cocaine a day, blowing close to £250,000 on the drug.
