Danniella Westbrook has revealed she is set to undergo another two face surgeries in a bid to turn her life around.
The former EastEnders actress, 49, was left with crumbling bones, a collapsed jaw and cheekbone and a rotten and collapsed septum due to her years of cocaine abuse and alcohol addiction.
It's reported that her facial bones began to break down from snorting cocaine laced with a tranquilliser more typically used on cattle.
But in a desperate attempt to repair her face, the former Big Brother star says she will fly out to Turkey next week and go under the knife yet again.
The actress told The Sun: "I go away next week to Turkey to have another face operation and then another one after Christmas."
Danniella has already had numerous reconstructive operations in the past and in August told OK! that she still had three more surgeries to go.
She told us: "I've got another three to go. It's getting there, but I'm not doing anymore now until nearer Christmas because obviously, I've got a lot of recovery in between."
The former soap star most recently had surgery in April and was seen in London with a large white bandage on her nose after the procedure.
It was the latest in a long line of reconstructive surgeries, five of which have taken place in Liverpool’s Aintree Hospital.
The previous operations have seen surgeons insert two pieces of rib into her face.
In 2021, the star vowed to turn her life around following years of drug abuse and relapsing with “cocaine and champagne”.
The troubled star allegedly took her first line of cocaine at 14 and is thought to have spent around £250,000 on drugs in her lifetime.
But making good on her promise to reform, it looks as though things could be looking up for Danniella as she recently secured a stage role.
The 49 year old will play the Fairy Godmother in the adult pantomime Sinderfella. She will star alongside fellow Big Brother star Simon Gross, who will play one of the ugly step-sisters.
A show insider told The Sun that Danniella "couldn't wait to get back to her acting roots" with the lucrative stint on stage.
They said: "She is nervous as she hasn't acted since she returned to EastEnders back in 2016, but her passion has always been acting so she is super excited for this next chapter of her career."
