The actress required immediate treatment to prevent the spread of any infection.
Even though Septicemia can be fatal, Danniella has returned home and is being cared for by her family.
“The situation could have been severe and life-threatening,” a source said. Fortunately, it was discovered early and all necessary precautions were taken.”
Meanwhile, Danniella has battled a cocaine addiction for decades, and the actress admitted last year that she was “tired” of her problems.
The soap star, who has sought addiction treatment, revealed: “I’m sick and tired of feeling ashamed and like a fraud when people tell me I’m doing well. I did better this time, but I’m done – I’m so bloody bored with it all.
“So I’m saying today. Hello, my name is Danniella, and I am a recovering drug addict.
“I haven’t reached rock bottom this time; I’m just all over the vicious circle of a crippling disease that prevents me from being the best me I can be and from reaching my full potential.”
Danniella Westbrook Early Life and Career
Danniella Westbrook is a television personality and actress from England. She is best known for her recurring role as Sam Mitchell in the BBC soap opera EastEnders from 1990 to 2016. Westbrook was born in the London borough of Walthamstow. Andy, her father, was a cab driver and later a carpet contractor, and Sue, her mother, was a shop assistant.
She had a strong interest in horseback riding as a child, but she has stated that she has always wanted to be famous. She began attending Saturday classes at the Sylvia Young Theatre School when she was eight years old. Westbrook attended a local state primary school during the early stages of her career, but she was bullied because of her television appearances, and after one bully cut off her hair, Westbrook’s parents removed her from the school.
