Danniella Westbrook is ‘homeless and back on benefits’ as friends fear her nose is ‘rotting off’
Pals have told Now magazine that the actress has been left completely broke after squandering her money and to make matters worse they now worry her face is on the verge of collapsing
DANNIELLA Westbrook’s friends say the star has been left “homeless and on benefits”, with her nose “rotting off”.
The 44-year-old former cocaine addict has endured a tumultuous few years and returned to rehab last year in a bid to conquer her addictions, however Now magazine reports that Danni is penniless and has nowhere to live.
A source told the mag: “Danniella’s been forced out of her home.
“She was staying with a friend, but the rental home came to an end and now she can’t afford to rent by herself.
“She’s told friends she’s totally broke and is now back on benefits. If she is to get a place, she’ll have to get housing benefits.”
Two years ago the former EastEnders star was allegedly granted a £100,000 after the dental implants resulted in her developing septicaemia.
However pals claim that she has not only spent all the money from the show, but is also in debt to a number of people.
The source continued: “She squandered all the money with her dental surgeon. Danni hasn’t got a penny to her name – she owes people money everywhere. Friends know that if they lend money to her, they’re never going to see it again.”
To make matters worse friends are also saying that not only is her nose rotting off after years of cocaine abuse, but her whole face is on the verge of caving in.
While it’s impossible for us to know whether Danni’s nose is about to fall off or her face is to collapse, an insider has told Now that it’s because she no longer has any blood supply going to it.
The source explains: “Her nose is rotting off as she has no blood supply to it. The damage is drug-related, but she blames it on everything else.
“She set up paparazzi pictures to make it look like she’d just had a nose job. If she doesn’t get help soon her face could collapse.”

It’s not just pals who are worried about her, the father of her daughter Jody, 16, Kevin Jenkins, is worried she could die if she doesn’t change her ways.
“Kevin worries she’ll end up dead if she doesn’t make better choices. There’s no sign of her getting her life together and those around her don’t want Kevin’s words to come true.”
The Sun Online has contacted Danniella’s reps for comment.
