DANNIELLA Westbrook is set for an incredible acting comeback after being snubbed by EastEnders last year.
The 49-year-old is best known for playing iconic character Sam Mitchell in EastEnders.
Danniella has revealed she’s in talks with Netflix and has even landed a movie role

But last year Danniella hit out at the soap after they recast the role, bringing in Kim Medcalf for the return of Sam instead of her.
Now it seems she’s having the last laugh as she’s being lined up for a new Netflix show and has even landed a part in a movie.
Speaking exclusively to HOAR, Danniella said: “I’m already getting DMs from people asking if EastEnders will bring me back now I’ve had the surgery.
“I doubt they will because Kim does a great job but it’s not the only show on TV. I’ve been offered a Netflix series – two seasons – and I’m shooting a movie soon over in Ireland.”
Danniella flew to Turkey this week for life-changing facial reconstruction surgery.
Sharing details of the procedure, Danniella said: “For the facial reconstruction I had a surgical thread lift where they put 1200 threads into my face.
“Then I had liposuction to remove fat from my body and into my cheeks and lips and to make my face more symmetrical. They also used it to align my nose. I had fat grafting on my chin and my jawline etched.”
Despite the painful-looking results of the invasive operation, Danniella has insisted a lot of the swelling has already gone down.
“I looked like I’d gone 10 rounds with Tyson Fury,” she said. “But the swelling has actually gone down really quickly. I’m already happy with the results.”
It’s been a long time coming for Danniella who has been planning this surgery for years. But due to her past drug addiction battle she had to get it just right to avoid failing in her recovery because the drugs used as painkillers following surgery can cause addicts to relapse.
It’s understandable that Danniella is mindful of relapsing. Her surgery comes after she was left with crumbling bones in her nose and a collapsed jaw and cheekbones due to years of cocaine addiction.
“I can’t be under anaesthetic for a very long time because I can’t have very strong opiates,” she explained. “Because of my recovery, if I’d had something like that in my system my body could’ve gone into toxic shock syndrome.”
