Danniella Westbook engaged to secret prison boyfriend after jail visit proposal

Danniella Westbrook has revealed that she is engaged to her secret jail lover.

The former EastEnders actress, 48, revealed that her boyfriend popped the question during a prison visit - but confessed that she would be waiting until he's out of prison to get married.

She also said that she had received a "big ring", but that her beau didn't think it was big enough.

Danniella said: "I've got a big ring that was made for me, and I wore it into the jail and David said 'it was lovely but it's not big enough' so there is a bigger one coming.

"He has asked me to marry him but I told him to wait until he gets home. He asks me all the time, he even asked me at the jail. He didn't get down on one knee or anything but he's like 'we are getting married you know.'

The former soap actress is reportedly hoping to tie the knot with beau David, 28, in the Maldives.

She opened up about her new man during an interview with the Daily Star, revealing that they met years ago before he went to prison.

Danniella told the publication:"I've known him for years. I met him in 2017 out in Spain and when we were both living out there and we got together out there and it was a tumultuous relationship it was on off all the time.

"But we just stayed in touch and he went to jail early 2019 and he got 9 years 9 months. He's home next year though, he's got 11 months to go."

She revealed that her boyfriend had been arrested when they had split up, but they rekindled their romance while he was behind bars as she wrote letters to him.

Danniella admitted that it was "impossible" to have a physical relationship while her boyfriend was still in jail, but that they had thankfully consummated their relationship before he was jailed.

She added: "Yeah, it has been because we lived together in Marbella. I wouldn't wait that long to see if he's any good. Bloody hell."

Comparing herself to late former co-star Barbara Windsor, she said: "Everyone has toyboys now, I'm just living the dream."
