The former EastEnders star relapsed into her cocaine addiction after her relationship with cage fighter Tom Richards turned sour.
And, last weekend, the actress - who was reportedly fired from Channel 4’s Hollyoaks - revealed that she recently attempted suicide.
She told The Sunday People: “I used cocaine. I was medicating myself. It has always been my drug of choice.
“I was using two to three grams a day, which was too much…”
The soapstar added: “It wasn't as much as I was using when I was younger. But it was enough to make my body shut down.
“That's what I wanted to happen. It nearly worked.
“I wanted to die."
Today,speaking on This Morning, a riled up Danniella opened up about her problems to Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes.
She explained: “Earlier on this year, my sister-in-law came in [to my house] and I was 7 stone 8.
“I begged her to take me. I had a nervous breakdown.”
Despite this, a visibly jittery Danniella asked viewers not to worry about her.
She said: “Please don’t be worried about me. I’m 41, I’m a big girl.
“I’m sick of being talked about as a drug addict, I’ve been through a lot of c**p stuff… I’ve signed another film, I’m busy, I’m happy, I just want to go to work.”
However her words have done little to ease the public’s concerns.
In fact, many viewers took to Twitter to comment on Danniella’s “car crash” of an interview, with many speculating that not all was as it should be with the star.
And others compared the interview to Kerry Katona’s now infamous appearance on the daytime chat show back in 2008.
At the time, the Atomic Kitten appeared confused on the show, slurring her words.
