Danniella Westbrook posed up a storm in a blue bikini on the beach in Portugal after ‘the most frightening few days’ saw her back in hospital following major facial reconstruction surgery.
The former EastEnders actress, 49, had a string of procedures in Turkey last week in a desperate bid to save her collapsing face.
Danniella had a thread lift, liposuction in her cheeks and lips, fat grafting on her chin and her jawline etched after her septum collapsed from excessive drug use in 2002.
And the TV star is continuing her recovery in Portugal as she soaked up the sun at the beach in a blue bikini on Friday.
Danniella pulled her blonde tresses up in a pink headscarf as she cooled off from the sun in the ocean.
The soap star showcased a hint of underboob as she raised her arms behind her head in the sea.
Since her procedure, Danniella has been wearing thick bandages around her head and nose, but took them off last Saturday.
The television personality has been shaken after a health scare saw her back in hospital, hours after landing in Portugal.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, she penned: ‘Only I could land back in Portugal after surgery only to end up in hospital.
‘The pain I’ve experienced is unreal, most frightening few days. Need it like a hole in the head, literally.’
When Danniella first woke up after the lengthy procedure, she said she looked ‘like she had done 10 rounds with Tyson Fury’.
She has wanted the reconstruction for the last seven years, but was unable to find a surgeon who would operate because her septum had completely collapse.
She told The Sun: ‘I was very fearful. My mum and my son Kai were on the phone constantly – I wrote up a will before I left and my son is the executor of that.
