Danniella Westbrook compares herself to Holly Willoughby as she reunites with celeb pal in Nandos
DANNIELLA Westbrook reunited with her pal Wayne Lineker today and revealed that they call themselves "Holly and Phil".
The EastEnders star reminded fans of the time they went viral for being "Holly and Phil" back in 2021.
Danniella, 49, and Wayne, 60, featured in a meme with the This Morning presenters, and she admitted at the time: "It makes me laugh."
It teased the notion that the ITV hosts, who have been known to knock back the booze on TV, could look like Danniella and Wayne after a wild night out.
Danniella, who has long ditched her partying lifestyle, celebrated her close friendship with nightclub owner Wayne today in a post on Instagram.
She said: "I first met @waynelineker when I was 15 in Loughton, seems like yesterday and here we are 35 years on.
