Impressed with her healthy appearance, one person told her: “Looking well gal.”
Another added: “Beautiful xx”, while someone else posted a series of fire emojis.
Years of past drug-taking left the EastEnders legend with crumbling bones, a collapsed jaw and cheekbone, but she has vowed to rebuild her face and boost her self-confidence.
And she is looking better than ever after undergoing the start of her surgeries last month.
The star recently told The Sun she is hoping surgery will not only help rebuild her face but also restore her shattered self-confidence.

The mum of two has already had two of FIVE reconstructive operations at Liverpool's Aintree Hospital, and has more surgery appointments coming up at the end of April and in May.
One of the procedures will see part of one of her ribs inserted into her cheek.
Danniella said: "I hate the way I look. I'm constantly made fun of, and trolled for it.
"People message me, saying, 'You're so ugly, you're a junkie, you should just go and kill yourself'. I've also had messages saying they are glad I'm not coming back to EastEnders because no one wants me scaring their kids on the telly.

"I pretend I'm fine, always happy to bounce back and fight every battle. But it's not the case inside, and feeling like this makes me really lonely.
"Sometimes I wake up and think 'I don't want to die today but I don't want to face the world either'."
Danniella, who took her first line of cocaine at 14 and is thought to have blown £250,000 on drugs, is adamant she is not undergoing surgery to silence the trolls.
She says: "After I relapsed (in 2014), for years I didn't care what I looked like because I was on a crazy whirlwind of destruction.
"But I've got to a point where looking like this upsets me, so I'm going to make a change not because of what others think but so I can be happy with the way I am.
"It will change the way I look but also help my breathing and sinus issues.

"So it's about my health as well. I'll be in for the big surgery, which is the bone replacement, at the end of April. And then the final operation to tweak and finish the nose is at the end of May."
Danniella first found fame in EastEnders, playing Sam Mitchell for a decade from 1990, before returning in 2009 and again in 2016.
