Danniella Westbrook shares cryptic message about 'losing yourself' after a setback

Danniella Westbrook has shared cryptic message about 'losing yourself' as she declares her 'comeback' must be stronger than her setback.

The actress, who last week told fans that she was back in hospital for the second time in two weeks, uploaded the quote to Instagram.

She was clearly inspired by what she read and re-posted the message on her Story.

The 48-year-old former EastEnders star posted: "Sometimes we lose ourselves for a while, and thats' okay.

"It's all a part of learning. Just made sure your comeback is stronger than your setback."

Danniella worried fans after she was "rushed" to A&E after she was hit with a second health shock after she was previously treated for septicemia.

She discussed her latest day in hospital on her Instagram Stories in which she shared a video and said that she was left walking in "scary" corridors late at night.

Danniella didn't elaborate as to why she had been admitted to hospital but she told fans on social media: "Another day another hospital".

Describing her situation in the hospital, she added: "Scary place. The only person in the whole corridor".

A couple weeks ago, the actress was hospitalised "for several days" with what she said was septicemia, which is when blood is poisoned by bacteria.

Recently, she spoke about the issues that have blighted her life.

She has struggled with drug use for many years - confessing she snorted her first line of cocaine when she was just 14 - and has hit the headlines due to the devastating effects addiction has had on her appearance.

In an interview on The Frost Report podcast, the actress heartbreakingly admitted she has “wasted years” of her life.

“It’s taken me 48 years to get to that point and I can’t say I’ll be there tomorrow. The worst thing I have done is throwing my life away, hating myself, the years I have wasted not liking the person I am,” she said.

She also addressed her errors since leaving rehab.

“Ok so here goes …. HONESTY POST Ok so it’s no secret since leaving rehab I’ve slipped and slides more than I have been straight I guess,” she wrote, as she told her followers she had joined the gym and started a new diet in order to restart her life," the star wrote.

“I’m done with the drinking, the occasional packet and night out. I’m totally over it.

“I know the best years of my whole adult life was the 14 years I spent clean and sober. So today’s the day I go back. Own my s**t. Pick up the newcomers ring with pride not shame,” Danniella shared.
