Danniella Westbrook thought she was going to die after fifth facelift
The 49-year-old actress – who is best known for playing the role of Sam Mitchell on BBC soap opera ‘EastEnders’ for various stints over the years – has undergone several bouts of surgery reconstructive surgery on her nose to replace her eroded septum following excessive cocaine use and recently travelled to Turkey to have a fat transfer in a bid to fix a past botched op, but has now told of the “living nightmare” that the trip became.
She told OK! Magazine: “I had a surgical thread lift where they put over 1,200 threads into my face. They were also supposed to reconstruct my nose, which is what I went there for, but they haven’t done that. They put 200 threads in my nose to straighten it, but it hasn’t worked.

She added: “I’ve had a lot of surgery in my life, but I’ve never experienced anything like this. The pain was off the scale.
