Danniella Westbrook battles the flu as she tucks into KFC in London after suffering ‘blackouts’
DANNIELLA Westbrook looked poorly as she tucked into a KFC while battling the flu.
The former EastEnders actress, 49, enjoyed a little comfort food as she held her hands on her head.
It comes after the star took to her Instagram account, where she asked followers for some health advice after she revealed she has been experiencing repeated ‘blackouts’.
In a video she recorded from bed, she told her fans: “I have come on to get some advice from people because I keep passing out and every now and again I am having seizures.
“I keep getting blackness over this side of my face. I’m sweating hot, burning up but I am freezing cold. And my throat is so bad.
“I can’t get anything to go down. I just keep crying, you know when you are that ill and you just keep crying. I want my mum and I am 49.
“I don’t know what to do if I should ring an ambulance or not. I don’t want to waste people’s time.”
Danniella, who stared in Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, also described the excruciating discomfort she has been experiencing in the last few weeks.
The Sam Mitchell actress said she has been cruelly ‘trolled’ since her illness became public.
Westbrook’s health battle comes while she is preparing to make her drama comeback, performing the role of Fairy Godmother in the adult pantomime Sinderfella alongside fellow Big Brother star Simon Gross.
It is her first acting role in six years – after her brief return to EastEnders in 2016 as Sam Mitchell.
Dannielle recently channelled her inner Britney Spears in a video she posted on social media.
n the short clip she could be seen walking along the street dressed like Britney from her famous 1998 Baby One More Time video.
Danniella played the song over the top of the video, as she talked to the camera – although it’s not clear what she is saying.
