Danniella Westbrook looks back on track in positive Snapchat post after recent health issues

DANNIELLA Westbrook proved to fans that she is feeling positive as she moves from her recent health issues.

The troubled actress has been through a difficult time in the past few months, after suffering a drugs relapse and even admitting to taking an overdose.

But the 43-year-old make it clear that she is ready to move forward and get back to a normal routine as she updated fans on her Snapchat account.

The former EastEnders actress was seen singing along to music in her car on her way to an event in London with a friend.

She then shared a fun clip of the pair after they made their way home and could be seen dressed in her pyjamas while her pal was in bed.

During a recent appearance on This Morning, the star admitted she hit rock bottom recently and tried to end her life.

"I spiralled into a depression after Big Brother. I had the best time in there. I came out so excited to get back on my feet.

"This happened and I haven't been able to work. This has spiralled me into a depression, and I split from my boyfriend too."

She explained: "I was so depressed all the time with everything. And one day my boyfriend was just gone. I was like, 'I didn't even know you at all then'.

"He had his reasons, and I wasn't very easy to live with at the time, because I was depressed about the way I looked, not being able to make money, I felt like I was letting him and my kids down. He didn't see it like that, but in the end it was just too much.

"I did relapse. I thought my whole world was over when he left.";

Asked if she had overdosed, Danniella said: "I tried to overdose a lot when George walked out. "

As Phil asked what went through her head for her to want to end her life, the actress replied: "I felt like I'd let everybody down. I couldn't earn money, I couldn't do the jobs that were being offered to me, that I'd wanted for years."

She added: "When you relapse and take drugs, you don't see that, All you see is selfishness and a way out. You carry on taking drugs until you get to that point when you're so low and on such a comedown that you're just like 'I just want to kill myself'. It's the most selfish horrible thing."

The star's friends eventually intervened and called her an ambulance, and she admitted: "I thank the Lord for them."

Danniella insisted she didn't overdose on cocaine, but instead took tablets.

As Phil asked if she took the cocaine she relapsed on through her nose, Danniella replied: "No, it was orally."
