The former EastEnders star suffered a number of personal setbacks last year (14) including losing her home, splitting from her fiance and relapsing in her long-running battle with drugs.

Danniella, who has been sober for months, is now hoping to transform her appearance with surgery to reverse the effects the drug addiction had on her looks.

She will undergo a range of procedures including breast augmentation, a mini facelift and a dental overhaul as a part of a TV documentary.

"I've rebuilt myself on the inside, now it's time to rebuild myself on the outside," Danniella tells Britain's Reveal magazine.

"My drug habit has aged me and it shows through my looks... I feel like an old woman and I'm ready to change. My friends have picked me up and rebuilt me over the past six months and I'm in a really good place. I can't wait to get my looks back and my career back on track".

Danniella, 41, underwent surgery on her nose in 2000 to fix her septum, which had worn away through cocaine use.
