Danniella Westbrook rushed to hospital after admitting drug relapse and vowing to get clean
DANNIELLA Westbrook was rushed to hospital last night with a mystery illness.
The 47-year-old told her concerned fans she was “back again” last night, but didn’t give any more details.
She appeared in good spirts earlier in the week as she enjoyed a night out with a close friend – looking almost unrecognisable after getting filler and Botox recently.
It comes after she bravely revealed she had relapsed amid her drug addiction battle and was now getting help.
The actress, who has struggled with drug use for many years, admitted she is now searching for a natural high and has quit champagne and cocaine.
In a searingly honest post earlier this month, the star told how she was starting from today, saying she was “totally over” her old addiction-filled life.
She told her followers: “Ok so here goes …. HONESTY POST Ok so it’s no secret since leaving rehab I’ve slipped and slides more than I have been straight I guess.

“I know the best years of my whole adult life was the 14 years I spent clean and sober. So today’s the day I go back. Own my s**t. Pick up the newcomers ring with pride not shame .
“I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired and feeling shame and a fraud when people tell me I’m doing well. I’ve done better this time round but I’m done I’m so bloody bored of it all.
“So today I’m saying. Hello I’m Danniella and I’m a recovering drug addict.”
The star continued: “I haven’t had a rock bottom this time, I’m just all over the whole vicious circle that is crippling disease that stops me and from being the best me I can be and from reaching my full potential.
“I’m lucky this time I’m not crawling in the rooms a snivelling skinny bag head … I was meant for more than this and this last few years f**king about has show me, that cocaine and champagne ain’t got the high I want.”
Danniella has been hooked on drugs since she was 14 after shooting to fame as Sam Mitchell in EastEnders.
