The star is currently living in Marbella following her latest stint in rehab.

Danni appeared on ITV’s Loose Women to speak about overcoming her demons “once and for all”.

Speaking on the show the star revealed she’s opened a bar in a bid to turn her life around.

But the Loose ladies didn’t seem convinced that was such a good decision, considering she’s a former addict.

Jane Moore, 54, said: “You’ve opened a bar!?

“Isn’t that like being on a diet and opening a cake shop?”

Jane then went on to ask the star: “How many times are we going to see you saying, ‘I’m recovering, I’m doing well’?”

But Danniella fired back: “I will always be an addict, that’s me.”

Meanwhile the former EastEnders star was “thrown off a flight” following an altercation with a stag do last month.

Hitting back at the claims Danniella’s close pal insisted the star believes she was the “victim” of verbal abuse.

They told The Sun: “There was a large group of men shouting remarks like ‘get your gear out for the stag’.

“She didn’t respond at all and hoped they would quieten down but after twenty minutes things had only got worse.

“Danniella then got removed from the flight by EasyJet staff as the captain refused to fly the plane until the situation was under control.

“She felt absolutely mortified being frogmarched off the plane while others took photos of her in tears.

“Then she was forced to wait another three hours for the next flight.”
