Danniella Westbrook rushed to hospital as she's treated by paramedics in ambulance

Danniella Westbrook has sparked fresh concern from fans after sharing an alarming video of herself receiving oxygen in the back of an ambulance on Thursday night.

The actress, 49, posted the footage of herself receiving treatment from paramedics in a now deleted Instagram clip, just days after she complained of "blacking out and suffering seizures".

Danniella - who is best known for having played Sam Mitchell on EastEnders - uploaded the video receiving gas and air from the mask as she held it to her face to help her breathe.

Danniella appeared distressed as she looked at the camera as she received medical intervention.

The video however appeared to have been deleted from her account later in the evening. A message on her Instagram Story stated that a recent post was "unavailable".

While it is not clear what sparked the actress to need emergency medical care, the actress has previously spoken about her ill health in recent days.

Danniella told fans that she has been experiencing seizures on Instagram earlier this week.

The actress said she was suffering from various symptoms, including being unable to "get anything to go down" and "burning up". She also commented: "My throat is so bad."

Danniella had said she'd been crying over it all. Discussing her experience, she told her followers: "I just keep crying, you know when you are that ill and you just keep crying".

“I have come on to get some advice from people because I keep passing out and every now and again I am having seizures," Danniella told her fanbase.

Describing her symptoms, the star went on: “I keep getting blackness over this side of my face. I’m sweating hot, burning up but I am freezing cold. And my throat is so bad.

The mother-of-two said at the time that she didn't know whether to call for an ambulance. She explained in the post earlier this week: "I don't want to waste people's time."

Thankfully, Danniella later appeared back on her stories to let her concerned fans know that she had been in contact with the emergency services.

The Mirror approached Danniella's representatives for comment.
