Former EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook has revealed two men stole £600 worth of euros
Danniella Westbrook was on holiday in Spain when she got mugged by two thugs in Marbella. The former EastEnders actress – who onscreen is known as Sam Mitchell – explained that while walking on the kerb on holiday her bag was stolen in a drive-by mugging.
Reliving the horrific experience, the 43-year-old actress - who believes the thieves must have seen her a few times before stealing her phone - explained: "I’m literally walking along one minute on the phone and I just felt something pull me fast. It was like when someone pushes you to go by fast.
"As it pulled me I said, 'Pardon me' and I just saw my bag starting to go with it."
During this incident the robbers ended up dragging Danniella with her bag but she managed to get free and they carried on with her belongings.
The CBB star who lost over £600 worth of Euros (including her work phone, Prada bag and cash) admitted she feels shaken: "F--king hell, I’m shook up. I’m an old girl now. It could have been a lot worse," she told The Sun.
Luckily, two women were around to help and take her back to her apartment.
The actress who is reportedly filming a brand new TV show for MTV has recently turned her life around. Last year she accused her boyfriend and best friend of having an affair, she was left 'homeless' after falling behind on house payments, she surprised fans by live streaming her vaginal surgery on Snapchat and confessed she had relapsed.
After she had medical procedures which resulted in her losing a lot of her gums and her relationship fell apart after her ex-boyfriend George walked out she turned to drugs. Appearing on Loose Women she explained: "I thought my whole world was over when he walked out, because he just got up, it was like he’d never been there.
"I tried to overdose a lot when George walked out, but it just turns out he never had a girlfriend before me, so it all unravels and you know it was very difficult."
