Danniella, who is best known for playing Sam Mitchell in BBC soap EastEnders, recently made headlines after undergoing facial reconstructive surgery on the NHS after plastic surgeons said it would cost £500,000.

The mum-of-two needs a total of five operations to correct her 'collapsing' face due to a previous cocaine addiction and osteoporosis.

Danniella has insisted the surgery isn't for vanity but that it is needed in order for her to survive.

She was rushed to intensive care just before Christmas after a cold left her unable to breathe as a result of built up fluid.

After speaking to doctors at Aintree Hospital in Liverpool, she was offered the facial reconstructive surgery.

Danniella revealed she plans to have a rib inserted into her face to fix her nose and cheekbones.

The TV star recently wowed fans as she recreated her iconic Burberry moment from 20 years ago.

In 2002 Danniella was snapped dressed head to toe in the brand's check prints.

A new post on Instagram has shown that she is still a fan of the fashion company, after sharing stunning pictures of herself in a little black dress and Burberry scarf.
