Taking to Twitter, she wrote: "Wow @westbrookdanni so true so honest, so relatable and real. Tears in my eyes. I love you xxx"
“Makes me so sad hearing it love you Dan”.

Continuing the supportive exchange, the 23-year-old added: "@westbrookdanni always and forever #twinnys #sisters #loveyou xxxx”.
She burst into tears as she struggled to cope with the emotion
Stephanie's ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell - who she says is the father of her unborn child following their whirlwind romance after meeting on the reality show earlier this year - also tweeted his support to Danniella.

During her emotional session on In Therapy, Danniella candidly revealed she was targeted at the age of seven, when she first started out as a child model.
She said: "I was sexually abused as a child. I was seven years old. It was within the workplace and continued for a lot of my life.
"At seven I was like a 14-year-old. There were certain things going on with me that shouldn't have been.
"I was betrayed by lots of people – for me, I’ve been the keeper of people’s secrets for a long time and I don’t want to do that any more.”
The brave actress went on to confess that sex "doesn't mean anything" to her because of what happened in her youth.
She added: "I feel absolutely nothing."
Danniella has always been honest about the problems she has faced in her life, most notably here battle with drug addiction, which resulted in her having to have the bridge of her nose rebuilt.
But thankfully, despite the tragedies she has faced, and her desire at times to end her own life, the star insists she is no longer in a dark place.
She said: "I'm ashamed of the drugs - it's not the person I am, but it's how I fix myself and it's the quickest way to medicate myself into a death because I haven't wanted to be here.
"This last year has been tough; I've tried to kill myself - but I don't feel like that today."
