Danniella Westbrook shows off her 'new face' as she steps out for lunch with mystery man

Danniella Westbrook appears to have struck up a new romance with a new mystery man.

The former EastEnders star, 48, has been snapped enjoying a romantic date with her rumoured new beau.

Pictured leaving swanky Essex restaurant Smiths of Ongar earlier this week, the potential new couple looked happy and content as they headed to a car.

The actress had previously taken to her Instagram account to show off a series of snaps from her lunchtime date, adding some pictures of her food and captioning them: "lunch time love".

Danniella and her mystery man tucked in oysters - washing them down with expensive bubbly.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star looked the part for the fancy outing in a stylish ensemble, consisting of a pair of leather look leggings, super high heels and a matching black blazer.

Her dining partner cut a casual figure, wearing a pair of light blue jeans, a shirt and a zip-up blue jacket for the lunch date.

Danniella has previously dated Robert Fernandez, with whom she shares son Kai Jenkins, 25, with, and ex-husband Ben Morgan.

The actress married businessman Kevin Jenkins in December 2001, after welcoming daughter Jodie B. Jenkins, 20, into the world together, but the pair split in 2014 after 13 years of marriage.

Danniella's romantic outing comes as the star opens up about her journey to transform her face with plastic surgery.

The star - who hit out at BBC bosses last month - recently revealed the results of a year's worth of tweakments, including botox and fillers.

Sharing some new selfies on Instagram earlier this week, Danniella admitted she was 'happy' with the results of her cosmetic procedures.

After rising to fame at the age of 16 - thanks to her role on EastEnders - the star has battled with addiction over the years.

Back in the 1990s, the one-time soap star spent an estimated £250,000 on cocaine, which cause her septum - the fragile cartilage that separates the nostrils - to collapse.

Over recent years, the mum-of-two has been having a series of cosmetic surgeries to repair the damage to her appearance.

Writing online on Thursday, Danniella showed off the results of her latest beauty procedure.

"Absolutely love my new lashes that @dreamylashlounge done for me yesterday," the former soap star captioned a new stunning selfie of herself.

"Bloody amazing based in Waltham abbey Essex. Seriously girls go follow her and book , I can guarantee you will be as happy as I am."

The 48-year-old star has big plans to be 'fighting fit' for her 50th birthday next year.

Sharing a throwback of her at the TV Quick and TV Choice awards in 2009 on Instagram earlier this year, the star told her followers: "Can’t wait for all my surgery to be done... will be back too my best and fighting fit and next year I will be 50!

"Bring it on... I’m ready... More than ready, I’m ready for a full transformation physically.

She added: "I’ve spent a lot of time alone the last six months. I’ve been working on myself and my spiritual side has already begun evolving.

"I’ve cut the deadbeats and energy draining people out of my life. And I am ready to get busy living... And busy working. I have a feeling it’s all going to work out just fine ."
