Danniella Westbrook 'happiest' she's been in 'very long time' on Algarve holiday

Danniella Westbrook says she's the "happiest" she's been in a "very long time" while enjoying a holiday in the Algarve. The former actress has shared a picture of herself on social media, lapping up some winter sunshine.

In the post on Instagram to her 106,000 followers and fans, Danniella is seen standing on a beach with beautiful clear blue skies above her head.

The 49-year-old is all smiles as she takes a selfie into the camera on her mobile phone. The EastEnders star has captioned the update: "Happiest I’ve been in a very long long time...relaxed, excited for this year and making plans for when David comes home.

"@daddytheagency are mad busy with offers we are considering and one more surgery to go before I’m done. @sobersuccess.partners on board and working along side me daily checking in on me before we head off to turkey life is good."

Just last week, the former EastEnders star opened up about her cocaine addiction and admitted that her son still get bullied to this day because of it.

In a separate post she told every one that she's "heartbroken" and said Kai has always been "the most loyal loving and brutally honest person in my life".

She went on to say: "He's shown me love and sometimes such tough love that no other in my life has cared that much to do.

"Everyday I wake up I thank god for my kids and their love. And I can say without hesitation if I didn’t have Kai I probably wouldn’t of made it.

"God blesses us when he makes us parents and today I count those blessings and don’t intend to let anything or anyone take me off the path to rebuilding trust bonds and bridges that my addiction broke.

"That’s why I’m constantly aware of my triggers and temptations today and I will never take for granted again just how cunning and devious my illness is.

"The day I think I’m cured is the day I am in danger. And my dangerous Danniella days are behind me.
