The 41-year-old sent the material to 25-year-old Alfie Southion just 24 hours after meeting him on Instagram in May, the Daily Star on Sunday reports.
Businessman Alfie told the newspaper: “It was a bit sad and degrading. To be honest she scared me a bit. She didn’t seem in a good place. I think she needs help.”
Alfie claims that former EastEnders star Danniella sent him topless snaps and video of her performing a solo sex act.
Some of the pictures allegedly included Danniella exposing herself while sitting on a pub toilet.
The mother-of-two, who was reportedly axed from Hollyoaks earlier this year, took to Twitter at the weekend to insist she wasn’t letting the claims get her down.
Danniella shared a quote which read: “People will pay to watch you fail. Let them get a ticket and make sure the outcome isn’t what they were hoping for.”
She wrote: “Take a ticket join the Q, bring a book 4 the wait ..it’s gonna take a while! I make mistakes, but I will never fail.”
Last month Danniella, who famously once had a £400-a-day cocaine habit, admitted she tried to kill herself with the class A drug following her break-up with cage fighter Tom Richards.
She told the Sunday People: “I couldn’t get Tom out of my life and thought the easiest way out was killing myself. I wasn’t strong enough to hang myself or cut myself, but I just wanted to kill myself.
“That’s why I used cocaine. I was medicating myself. It has always been my drug of choice. I was two to three grams a day, which was too much… It wasn’t as much as I was using when I was younger. But it was enough to make my body shut down.”
