Danniella Westbrook leaves police station in grey tracksuit with clothes in bag after being arrested and bailed over ‘witness intimidation’

DANNIELLA Westbrook has been pictured leaving the police station after being arrested over “malicious communications and witness intimidation”.

The 44-year-old actress has been released on bail on Wednesday following a 12-hour interrogation, starting on Tuesday afternoon.

Looking exhausted, Danniella wore what appeared to be a grey standard police tracksuit.

She wore a cap pulled over her face and carried a clear plastic bag with her belongings inside.

The bag had both her cell number and the name 'Jenkins' on it, which was the surname of her ex husband Kevin.

She has been ordered to return to Hatfield police station on May 6 pending further investigation over allegations made against her.

Earlier this week The Sun Online revealed that the ex-EastEnders star was arrested in her hometown of Essex at around at 2pm Tuesday afternoon.

She was then driven more than 40 miles in the back of a police car to Hatfield, Hertfordshire where she was quizzed by cops until 2am.

Last week we reported Danniella is accused of taking £10,000 from an ex-friend whose business she “tried to destroy on social media”.

A Hertfordshire police spokesman told us: "The 44-year-old woman we arrested yesterday has now been released on bail until May 6 pending further investigation."

It’s claimed she was wanted for questioning by police back in January and had allegedly ignored four requests to go to St Albans police station for voluntary questioning.

An insider exclusively told The Sun Online last week: “It is suspected that Danniella has taken £10,000 from this woman who she was once friends with.

“It is alleged that Danniella refused to pay the money back and then things turned nasty.

“This woman had considered her a friend and had really helped her out in the past, and paid for a lot of things for her.”

The Sun Online has contacted Danniella’s representative for comment.
