DANNIELLA Westbrook was all smiles on a shopping trip as she showed off the results of recent lip fillers and Botox.

The 48-year-old has spent the last few weeks reflecting on her life after the BBC replaced her Albert Square character with a different actress.

Danniella beamed as she strolled around the shops after her make-over.

The former EastEnders legend kept her look casual in a grey hoodie.

She teamed it with baggy black trousers and hid her blonde bob bunder a black baseball cap.

The actress looked as ease as she stepped out after telling fans she was "ready to do life differently" last week.

Promising she's embarking on a fresh era, Danniella said: "Ok so this is what a few weeks of solitude and isolation working on yourself at home looks like.

"Today I woke up ready and willing to do life differently. Huge thanks to @sipaulm for doing my hair. I’m London bound and life is good ❤️#beyourself."

She hit out at EastEnders earlier this month after The Sun on Sunday revealed that Kim Medcalf, 48, will play Sam Mitchell.

Danniella played the fiery daughter of Queen Vic legend Peggy Mitchell in 1990 and last appeared in the role in 2016 - although Kim played the character between 2002 and 2005.

But she was left blindsided when EastEnders replaced her without speaking to her first.

She told The Sun: “I’ve been known as Sam Mitchell for 32 years. But nobody at EastEnders contacted me to let me know they had recast Kim in the role.

"There wasn’t even an email to my agent. I was shocked because they do have a responsibility to tell me and someone should have.”

Danniella has struggled with drug addiction since she was 14 and abused cocaine so badly it destroyed part of her nose.

She said: “The bosses have seen me go through addiction and they have no idea where I am today.

“Thankfully I’m OK. But if I hadn’t been it could have had very serious consequences for me.
