Former EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook has bravely opened up about one of her biggest regrets in life, shedding light on the personal battles that shaped her past.
In a raw and emotional interview, the 50-year-old star confessed that her struggle with addiction led to decisions she now deeply regrets. "It's something I'll always carry with me," she admitted, reflecting on the impact it had on her career and personal life.
The Turning Point
Westbrook, best known for playing Sam Mitchell in the BBC soap, revealed how her addiction affected her physical health in ways that became impossible to ignore. "When my septum collapsed, that was the wake-up call," she shared, referring to the visible damage caused by substance abuse.
Road to Recovery
The actress spoke candidly about her journey to sobriety and the challenges of rebuilding her life after hitting rock bottom. "Every day is a choice," Westbrook explained, "but I'm grateful for the support that helped me turn things around."
Now focused on her health and wellbeing, Westbrook hopes her story might help others facing similar struggles. "If I can prevent just one person from going down that path, it's worth sharing," she said.
