This year’s Celebrity Big Brother kicked off only a few days ago, and already the drama-filled series has had some shocking moments and revelations.

Firstly, one celebrity sensationally QUIT the show before it even began.

Then, actor John Partridge revealed the heart-wrenching reason why he was really taking part in the infamous reality show.

But this time, the revelations came from former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook, who confided in fellow housemates John Partridge and Darren Day that she was just 14-years-old when she first tried cocaine.

Danniella, who has relapsed in the past but is now thankfully clean, bravely opened up about her battle with drug addiction:

“It will get you. And when it does, you will never be able to have a relationship with any person or any job," she told her housemates. "You can't while you're on that stuff."

“I try not to think about [drugs]. I remember when I first relapsed, I was like ‘shit’.

“At that point, I knew my life was on the edge of spiralling out of control.”
