FORMER EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook has told how she has been living in sheltered accommodation and relying on food banks.
After staying free from drugs for 13 years, the actress, 41, relapsed earlier this year.
She told This Morning that her life in recent months - beginning with the end of her marriage in January - had been "a car crash".
The mother-of-two said that her local council had placed her in "sheltered accommodation....which is like a bedsit".
She told the programme: "I've lost all my work. I was supposed to be in Torquay this Christmas in panto and as soon as I got exposed they called and said 'we can't possibly have her at our theatre'... and other work I had lined up I've lost, because I've relapsed."
