The former EastEnders star, who has battled years of drug abuse, made the admission on today's The Jeremy Vine Show
DANNIELLA Westbrook today revealed she hasn’t spoken to her teenage daughter in THREE years.
The former EastEnders star, who has battled years of drug abuse, said it was because Jody, 17, is in a "safer environment" being with her dad.
The teen lives with her dad, and Danniella's former husband, Kevin Jenkins.
The soap star, who revealed at the end of last year that she had womb cancer, opened up about her heartbreak on today's The Jeremy Vine Show.
She said that Jody is living with her father while she dealt with trolls and her illness.
The 45-year-old revealed she has had a stalker ever since she came out of the Big Brother house in 2016.
Danniella admitted the stalker played a major part in her daughter moving out.
She said: "Jody is with her dad and that's just a whole different issue because of different things but the stalker did play a huge part in that as well for her own safety.
"I haven't spoken to Jody for three years. She's 17, she's gorgeous. It's very difficult for me, especially since I've been ill.
"Jody is doing her life and she's doing very well, she's done brilliantly at school and she's in college and she's doing great. And her dad is a great dad and he's doing what's best for her, right now.
"It's probably a safer and much better environment for her whilst I've got all this stuff going on with trolls and different things and being ill, she should be there right now."
But Danniella said she has not alone and has relied on son Kai for support during her tough times.
She said: "Kai has looked after me very well since I've been sick. He's been great to me and he's good mate as well as anything else. He's come through a lot of stuff and he's a great kid and we are very close."
Danniella has since dealt with her stalker but has said not enough was done to help her.
She said: "I know who she is and the police know who she is. It's being dealt with. You have to remember these people have mental health issues, they're not just always trolls, some of these people are very sick.
"But sometimes it comes to the point where they're coming to your house and giving out your childrens' home addresses and telephones numbers online. And nothing is being done about it."
Danniella revealed in 2018 she had been diagnosed with womb cancer.
At the time she said when she received the diagnosis she said she was terrified she would die like her good friend Jade Goody, who passed away from cervical cancer in 2009.
Since then she has revealed she plans to do all she can to beat her illness.
