Danniella Westbrook has had a difficult year but the former soap star now appears to be loved up with her new man, Dominco
Danniella Westbrook hasn't had the easiest time recently; she's fought womb cancer and struggled with a drug relapse. But the star is once again clean and is recovering from another stint in rehab.
The former EastEnders actress was sent to rehab by Jeremy Kyle, during an appearance on his now-axed ITV show. Danniella confessed to taking cocaine just four days before appearing on the show, before Jeremy concluded that rehab was her only solution.
It seems the star is now recovering at home, but she is not alone. Danniella has taken to social media to share a sweet snap of her looking loved-up in bed with a mystery man.
Danniella, 45, looks like she is resting on the man's chest as they cosy up together in bed. Both are seen flashing big smile for the selfie.
The mum-of-two finally revealed the name of her handsome nurse as Dominco.
Danniella squashed the confusion and announced his real name in the post's caption. She wrote, "A day in bed I’ve been being sick for 5 days straight, but grateful for Dominco and being spoilt with cuddles food and presents ps any man that cooks and cleans is worth the hassle #justsayin".
