Former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook is really poorly in the intensive care unit with an infection.
The actress, who recently admitted to a drug relapse, was rushed into hospital on night Thursday (October 28).
She is reportedly battling a sinus infection and was admitted to the ICU after antibiotics failed.
Doctors are allegedly concerned that the infection could reach her brain.
A source told The Sun: “Experts were concerned infected mucus could track back to her brain, but she is being well cared for in hospital and is on the mend.”
The 47 year old posted a photo of a row of ambulances to her Instagram Story.
She captioned the picture “back in hospital” in a scary, Halloween-themed font.

Daniella has a troubled history of drug addiction
She reportedly began using cocaine at the age of 14 after finding fame in EastEnders.
This led to the troubled star becoming so hooked on the drug that, at one point, she was doing 5g a day.
She confessed to using while she was pregnant with son, Kai, and that she even took the drug while she was in labour.
Soap fans were shocked when, in 2000, a picture circulated of Danniella which appeared to show her with just one nostril.
Her septum – the bit of cartilage that separates the nostrils – completely eroded from drug use.
Following that she managed 14 years sober before a relapsing in 2014.
She famously sort help on now-axed ITV show, The Jeremy Kyle Show.
More recently, Danniella thrilled fans after unveiling a new face on Instagram after Botox and filler injections.
Entertainment Daily has contacted representatives for Danniella for comment.
