Loose Women viewers confused as Danniella Westbrook appears to pull out of live interview

The star was due to appear on Friday's show

Danniella Westbrook was due to appear on Friday’s Loose Women just days after hinting she had split from her toyboy fiance Alan Thomason.

The show announced her appearance at the end of Thursday’s show when host Andrea McLean confirmed the former EastEnders star had “sadly lost her baby”.

Wiewers were expecting to see Danniella on the lunchtime show today, but were left confused and concerned as the troubled star was a no-show.

One tweeted: “Where’s Danniella Westbrook???????”

Another said: “@loosewomen I thought @westbrookdanni was on today??”

“Is it me or has Danniella Westbrook done a no-show on #LooseWomen,” a third added.

A fourth wrote: “Why did I think you was on Loose Women today ? I’m sure yesterday they said you was .. I’m turning it over.”

Yesterday the former EastEnders star told her Twitter followers she was spending some time in Spain before flying to the UK.

She wrote: “Taking time out before I fly to UK #familyFirst #MyWorld #Home,” alongside a poolside snap.

A Loose Women spokesperson has now revealed the reason why Danniella, 43, didn’t appear on the show today.

They told Mirror Online: “Danniella has pre-recorded a chat with Loose Women today, which is due to air at a later date.”

It’s not been a great week for the star as she’s made headlines several times for a number of reasons.

Last month Danniella announced she was expecting her third child, her first with fiance Alan, and shortly before that she announced her engagement to her toyboy lover despite only dating for a few weeks.

But this week it was reported that the actress had suffered a miscarriage and apparently told her close pals about the tragic incident.

Danniella has not yet confirmed if the reports are true but did share a message on her social media saying she was “hurting from my loss”.

She also told her fans she was “recovering” with her family and decided to quit social media.

According to The Sun, pals of the star claim Danniella is “trying to put on a brave face” after telling them she lost her unborn baby.

In the tweet, shared to her account on Tuesday, Danniella appeared to accuse Alan of “destroying” a hotel which refers to reports claiming the pair were faced with a £800 bill after smashing up a hotel room following a row.

The star also opened up about “hurting” from her loss. She ended the message with the hashtags: “Enough is enough,” and “catfish”.

She wrote: “Hurting from my loss. The hotel wasn’t the only thing he destroyed that day. I never knew him at all! Walking away. #EnoughIsEnough #catfish.”

In another tweet, posted just minutes after, Danniella hit back at a troll who claimed she is pregnant with Alan’s baby and said he’s “just with Danniella for her cash”.

Former addict Danniella ranted: “Please stop your vile lies I don’t care about anything you say. I’m recovering with family & coming off social media for a little while.”

Meanwhile earlier this month Danniella accused the media of “making me ill” following a series of accusations against her.

At first a report claimed Danniella had ‘cheated’ on Alan with a 25-year-old holidaymaker who claimed she was “wobbling all over the place” due to alcohol.

And another claimed the star had smashed up her hotel room after a heated row with Alan and then boasted about it to a holidaymaker.

The source told The Sun Online: “She was chatting to everyone in the pub and telling them about this huge barney.

“She was moaning that her and her bloke had got into this fight, trashed the place and now had to pay the hotel 900 Euros for the damage.”

Sharing the article from the tabloid Danniella hit back saying: “I’m sat with Alan [reading] more cheap crap you are writing the stress you’re putting me under is making me ill. So thank you.”
