Former EastEnders actress Daniella Westbrook has confessed she's lucky to be alive after her cocaine hell - but admits years of drug abuse have destroyed her looks. The star's long addiction to coke has been well documented and Daniella, who has now been clean of drugs for 11 years, is grateful she managed to kick her habit, which left her face ravaged. In an interview with Closer magazine, she said: "I couldn't have gone through all those years of drug addiction and come out of it unscathed. It's aged me and it's done things to my face, but I'm lucky to be alive."

It's estimated the star spent a total of £250,000 on drugs, and cocaine took such a strong hold she continued to snort it throughout her first pregnancy. Daniella, who spent £20,000 on nose reconstruction after her habit caused a collapsed septum, is considering heading to Amy Childs' salon for some discounted Botox, but she admits her years of addiction have left her wary of medical help.

I find it totally astonishing that in this day and age people still try drugs, they know what happens when you do so why do it in the first place?
I think it's a good thing that she is reminding people what can happen to you when you do.

Danelle you were not that pretty in the first place. There is a word in the English Dictionary called "NO THANK YOU" I do not use drugs. You only had yourself to blame and all that wasted money you spent on drugs is disgraceful. Let's hope now you have learned your lesson as you are fortunate to be given another chance at living a decent life - drug free. I hope young girls reading this will learn a lesson from it, that Drugs can kill and ruin your life.

I guess the one in the middle she looks a bit wonky.. But is that supposed to be the befores and after? Not too shocking really.

Plus she's aged a bit. Maybe "drugs" are responsible for natural ageing now.
