She was seen leaning on new toyboy Jude Moore while on holiday in Spain last week following devastating news that she’d been axed from her Hollyoaks comeback this summer after reportedly breaching her contract.
While Danniella Westbrook, 41, was pictured cuddling up to 20-year-old model Jude, her ex-fiancé Tom Richards, 24 – who she dated on and off for 14 months – was snapped with a mystery blonde back in the UK.
However, sources insist both Danniella – who was bizarrely pictured wearing a ring on her engagement finger last week – and Tom are on the rebound, and they might be using their new flings to get back at each other.
A source says: “Danniella may be happily posing for photos with Jude, but she’s also in touch with Tom. She’s been crying down the phone and says she thinks they should get back together.
“Pals worry she could be seeing Jude to wind him up. Tom likes keeping Danniella dangling by a thread and bragging about how he only needs to click his fingers and she’ll come running back. He knew when he was snapped kissing a blonde friend that Danniella would see it.”
