An incredible , lady. She has battled her way through so much abuse.!!! Ii wish her so much happiness And peace . She is so honest in all her interviews . Lots of love to her .❤️👍🦋🦋❤️👌
Lovely interesting interview. Daniella is one of lifes survivors, a real inspiration and prime example of getting knocked down but picking herself up time and time again. Lifes not easy and she inspires me to keep going whilst life knocks me down.
Love this. Of course just like everyone, I've seen so many interviews with Daniella over the years but this one is a joy to watch. I'm 42, have very much grown up with her on my screens and I've had issues with cocaine addiction myself, so I understand some of the struggles she has faced. She deserves a lot of credit for the fact she speaks so openly about her reality. She comes across as very well-spoken - as someone with basically the same accent, I know the criticism about being told 'you sound unintelligent' despite being perfectly intelligent and well-educated! Thanks Daniella x
Well done Daniella for your honesty naming and shaming and saying it wasn't Brian it was hackers that takes some strength good to see you back on the screen miss you playing Sam xxx
Incredibly brave and a wonderful interview. She is just so honest and decent. It’s easy for people to knock her but just think for a moment what the poor girl has been through and what she has survived. She is no victim. She is a survivor. Wish you the best Danielle xxx Great interviewer too!
In spite of all her madness, she’s someone you can’t help but wish the best for. She seems really good here. And her comments on Kim as Sam, really nice.
She can't return when her face looks like that💀 it won't fit the character she played. They'd have to completely change her character/name. She could play the local crackhead, that's very fitting💯
@@taylaallingham6713 what a pathetic comment. Yes, Danniella has had well-documented issues with drugs and that has had an effect. But that does not mean she doesn't look well here given the circumstances and she is a strong, resilient person who inspires me. Perhaps you should spend some time reflecting on yourself rather than trying to bring other people down.
Yet it was her choice to use drugs unfortunately just don't go down that road ,fed up with people having sympathy with people who do drugs .even if they stopped they milking it still .
@@nicolasimpkins3640you obviously have no idea about addiction. Not everyone is “milking it”… she’s an example of people going through addiction and come out the other side, that’s why people praise her and that’s why others sympathise… not everything is as black and white as you see it 🤷🏽♀️
Wow I just watched her in the Queen video The invisible man!had no idea she was in that,what a lovely woman you are Daniella,I grew up watching you on eastenders,nice to hear your story.
Iv just watch the danielle interview with lewis nicholls itvwas very touching he ought to have is own talk show hes very good dannielle is very honest person i wish her every happiness in her life ❤
The Legacy Law Foundation, hello all ,I note ts 9 days after it s published on tube with ref to just one Academic Report IICSA ,I will listen with utmost respect. Thank you Andria
Daniella is looking so classy and very Feminine...so much better. I'm so happy to know her life is taking a new turn..on the way up again. I'd love to see her in a new Drama in a detective role , as she's a very talented Actress...she's a true professional. Good Luck to her. ❤🙏
I will not stick the boot in, but I hate a liar...would rather a thief...but then, here we are with both! Feel sad for CSA, I'm a survior too...but sorry Dan, you can't kid a kidder.
Danniella's facts are off about EastEnders. She first joined in 1990, before quitting in 1993. The next years Barbara Windsor joined the cast... She incorrectly states that she didn't work with Barbara for 11 years. She would've first worked with Barbara during her 1995-1996 stint.
Yes we are all actors.. she as done so well to survive all this.. does not bear to think she as had to go through...all that. Yet people will be too quick to judge...what a shame.
Best interview I’ve seen of DW. She looks great, she’s poised but funny too and she’s also extremely articulate here, which is all fantastic to see! Keep it up hun, this is the best version of yourself 💯. ♥️🫶🏼♥️.
Her time lines for her time in Eastenders was way off lol she literally was only in the show 5 - 6 years in total when you add all her appearances as Sam together. She also seems to think she joined in 86 lol
She couldn't remember her clean time birthday without thinking about it.."end of September, October time " oh dear..we all know that date is stamped in your brain and then admitted she's been drinking alcohol. If she is in NA you aren't classed as clean unless you have complete abstinence from everything. Especially alcohol. So unfortunately it's pretty obvious she isn't working the NA program.
She's been through so much madness sadness and still amazes me, she comes across as kind caring even through all of that she's human and seems lovely goodluck Danielle good luck whatever you do
Another great interview Lewis. Daniella is one tough bird, Although I do struggle with her timeframe recollections, for example she claims Barbara Windsor joined the show 11 years after her, Daniella joined in 1990 and Babs in 1993? And that she was 15 when she started work on EastEnders, yet she was 16 when she was sent to audition for the part. She also claims she left Enders in 1993 on a 3 year “golden handshake deal with itv” and that Ross Kemp went before her on a £4.5m deal. Ross was with Eastenders from 1989-1999, leaving that year to take up an offer with ITV. Daniella, left 6 years before he did. She also returned to the BBC in 1995 before being written out less than a year later and claims June Brown was the one to demand she review help, June had actually quit in 1993 and was absent until 1997, the passing out incident happening during her absence, so not sure how she would seek help from “the governor”. Her memory of the passing out incident has also changed greatly since her 2005 documentary “Daniella: EastEnders Drugs & My New Nose” and since her 2006 autobiography. I therefore feel some of what she says is to be taken with a dashing of pepper and a huge pinch of salt.
Traumatic experiences and drug use can both affect the memory. Her timeline might be a bit off, but maybe you can forgive this in light of what she's been through in her life.
Virginia Bottomley is mentioned in the R.A.I.N.S list allegedly! Everyone should research the R.A.I.N.S list it's shocking. Not saying it's her though doesn't sound like her but I know of another famous female politician who has been alleged to be an abuser of youngsters,at parties.
Danielle Westbrook is the Barbara Windsor of her generation born 2 🎬 act from a young age + they've got character on & off stage having a good old cockney 🥳 knees 🍻 up loved all over the UK and to know now how someone so loved by the British public got treated back then when she collapsed being close to death and yet the one in charge of the show didn't care for her well-being he just wanted her to carry on acting which wasn't possible for her to do so all the other cast members let him know that she has to go to hospital no if's or but's and because of her doing that it basically saved her life so she should've been welcomed back with open arms by the one in charge but instead she gets fired for it and that's not right at all she should've been given time off to recover so i haven't got words for that one in charge other than he's the opposite of the word good but no matter what she'll always be the one & only Sam Mitchell the one we want to see on 🖥 TV and to tell u the truth they should've been sued for it.
She was a cocaine user and became addicted. She used it so much that it damaged her nasal passages causing them to collapse. I am not a medical professional so I am using laymen’s terms and someone who knows more about it will probably be able to tell you a far more detailed and accurate answer.
An incredible , lady. She has battled her way through so much abuse.!!! Ii wish her so much happiness And peace . She is so honest in all her interviews . Lots of love to her .❤️👍🦋🦋❤️👌
Never judge a book by its cover. What a strong courageous lovely woman ❤

She is so articulate and intelligent. So much resilience. Good luck to her.
God Bless you Daniella...A Day at a Time....keep living your best life
Very rare I watch a whole interview on RUclips, but this was brilliant! Daniella comes across lovely and genuine and Lewis is a fantastic interviewer.
What a fascinating and inspirational interview 👍🇦🇺🫶
Daniella is looking and sounding much better and healthier.
Is she?
Don't do drugs kids.
It's a car crash that ruined her looks facially lots of people have done drugs Kate moss fow example!
@@nlw2591 🤣🤣
It was drugs
It was drugs. Her nose completely collapsed due to coke
Is that all you got from this ?
What a great interview, she’s down to earth , hope all goes well for her 👍
This guy deserves his own Tv show - Daniella is a trouper , been through so much , would love to see her back on Eastenders ❤
She can't return when her face looks like that💀 it won't fit the character she played. They'd have to completely change her character/name. She could play the local crackhead, that's very fitting💯
No no and defo no. Because Kim Medcalf is the best Sam and if Sam Returns again it be Kim. No Disrespect to DW tho.
Lewis a good interviewer. He knows what questions to adk.
It's great to see Danniella looking well. All the best to her 😊

Love Danielle. She is a strong woman. Great interview.
Loved this
I wish Daniella all the luck in the world.

I like Kim, she's a talented actress, but Danielle will always be the iconic Sam Mitchell.

Lewis knows his stuff he’s charming and why isn’t he on national TV
Why does he need national TV? He's making it on his own talent and is free to pursue his own creative path with freedom & integrity!
I'm a new subscriber Daniel Westbrook is a survivor such a nice lady.
Best interview I’ve seen of DW. She looks great, she’s poised but funny too and she’s also extremely articulate here, which is all fantastic to see! Keep it up hun, this is the best version of yourself 💯. ♥️🫶🏼♥️.
She is great ❤
Looking healthy,gwaan daniella!!
Just say no.
No offence but this kind of thing with bosses not giving a damn about their staff goes on in every job!
Snorting Cocaine does this, lot of Cocaine
Beautiful soul
That's an extreme thing to do just to be able to pull of that "I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue" trick. 😅
I think she's clean so fair play to her, wish her all the best x
She’s looking well good luck to her xxx
Lovely down to earth lady ❤
I did not know that drugs could eat your face like this. Shocking.
This happening to her was very impactful for youngsters growing up at the time.
Daniella seemed really standoffish in this interview
You would too if you looked like her 😮

She does seem to live off of her role in Eastenders. I think she needs to move on. Eartenders has moved on.
I like Her ❤
and she wanted to live in spain few yrs ago she felt spanish......
I never knew Danielle appeared in a Queen music video. The Invisible Man!
Well don’t to her for being clean for so long. She looks and sounds really well and seems like a lovely person. Best of luck to her.
What did she do with Bryan Adams, Paul MccCartney and The Who?
Lots of love to Daniella ❤

I guess ITV are not aware of this life stories.
Great interviews Lewis but that cheap looking blue watch has got to go. It stands out and spoils the quality of the interview
Incredible, inspiring and disturbing
Danielle … respect ✊🏻
If this aint a deterrent to drugs then god help us
Love Daniella westbrook 😍👑❤️🔥
Hi Daniella lots of love ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Atleast she's got a good sense of humour 👍
State of her. Don’t do drugs kids.
I do think shes her own worst enemy but i do wish her luck
Edwina Currie Implicated !!
Third auto biography? Ummmm…..
😲 Who was she abused by that is a woman high up in Parliament? Why doesn't she name them?
Probably isn’t true

I'd like to see the name to name and shame....that's why saville got away with it....she should name HER
I don't believe a word she says. How much longer can she go on regurgitating the same old stories?
Yeah. She's hanging onto the past but what is she actually doing now? Apart from interviews to talk about her life over and over again.
Sweetheart ❤
Loved her wanted be her when i was younger,still love her ❤
All self inflicted. She had everything a good job money and she wasted it all.
Danielle Westbrook is the Barbara Windsor of her generation born 2 🎬 act from a young age + they've got character on & off stage having a good old cockney 🥳 knees 🍻 up

Just another BBC fail. Boycott the bbc and don’t buy a license
she spoilet her looks sniffing
Serious question..what happened to her face?
Snorted WAY too much cocaine that it rotted her nose away

@@jujutrini8412 Yes I know all that about her nose but that doesn't explain her mouth.
Car crash aswell!

I'm very intrigued to know who the famous female politician is that she says abused her
So true, politicians seem to get away with so much
