Once a shining star on EastEnders, Danniella Westbrook’s life took a devastating turn as addiction consumed her early fame. By 21, she was spending thousands a week on drugs, which destroyed her nasal septum and left her face permanently damaged.

In 1998, she survived a horrific car crash that left her with severe facial injuries. Despite surgeries and rehab attempts, she continued to battle addiction, financial struggles, and toxic relationships.

Now 51, Westbrook is still in the headlines, but more for her cosmetic surgeries than her acting. Her story remains a stark reminder of how fame and addiction can unravel even the brightest careers.
