DANNIELLA Westbrook has sparked concern amongst her fans after revealing she’s ‘blacking out’ and having seizures.
The 49-year-old, who admitted she had been crying with pain, shared a troubling video from bed today as she begged for advice as she struggled with a series of health issues.

The star was not her usual self as she revealed she had called 101 for help
Actress Danniella told her followers: “I have come on to get some advice from people because I keep passing out and every now and again I am having seizures.
“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.
“I can’t get anything to go down. I just keep crying, you know when you are that ill and you just keep crying. I want my mum and I am 49.
“I don’t know what to do if I should ring an ambulance or not. I don’t want to waste people’s time.”
She later added that she had called 101 for some advice.
The actress is currently preparing to make her drama comeback, performing the role of Fairy Godmother in the adult pantomime Sinderfella alongside fellow Big Brother star Simon Gross.
It is her first acting role in six years – after her brief return to EastEnders in 2016 as Sam Mitchell.
The star played the fiery blonde throughout the 90s but was replaced by Kim Metcalf from 2002 to 2005, before Danniella took on the role again in 2009 and 2016.
Earlier this year, Danniella took a swipe at hit BBC soap EastEnders after finding out her character Sam Mitchell was to be reprised by Kim, instead of her once again.
Danniella – who has battled drug addiction since she was a teenager – insisted producers had a “responsibility” to tell her the news personally and suggested it could have triggered a relapse if she wasn’t in such a good place now.
