DANI'S CLASSY EVENING

Former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook looks lively outside swanky London club chain-smoking and wiping her nose

The mum-of-two, 44, stumbled out of a night club as her agent relieved himself against a wall

TROUBLED Danniella Westbrook slumps boozily in a doorway after a glitzy awards’ bash, frantically dabbing at her nose as she lights a cigarette.

The former soap star, 44, was seen partying into the early hours at London’s Film Awards on Wednesday before ending the night on the street with her agent, Ryan Mira.

And while she struggled to keep upright on towering heels, he was spotted relieving himself into the nearest gutter after they were kicked out of a taxi.

Danniella - who was dressed in a plunging gold gown - stood next to Ryan swaying as he urinated just a few inches from the pair’s party goody bags.

And on several occasions she was seen wiping her nose as she chain-smoked cigarettes.

One onlooker said: “Danniella was a sorry sight. She did not appear to be in control, and was struggling to stand after clearly having one too many.

“She and Ryan stumbled out of Mahiki nightclub in Mayfair at around 3.30am, long after the awards bash must have finished, and jumped in a taxi.

“But they got out of the car just 50 yards up the road, when Ryan decided to relieve himself.

“Danniella then stopped another cab but they were both turfed out at Trafalgar Square. After that they were refused by a second and a third cab.

“The pair of them could hardly walk, so it was hardly surprising. Eventually they managed to get a fourth taxi to take them home and disappeared.”

Danniella’s shoddy exhibition at 3.30am came hours after she told journalists on the red carpet that she was writing a book with son Kai Fernandez.

And she claimed her chapter would help readers to “detoxify.”

She said: “I am writing a book with my son. He is doing a chapter and I am doing a chapter about addiction and how to give someone the process to detoxify.

“He (Kai) is more sensible than me. I am more sensible (now) but I am boring.”

The onlooker added: “From the look of her after the Film Awards, Danniella is one of the last people who should be advising others about detoxifying.”

Danniella - who played Sam Mitchell in BBC1’s EastEnders – last year claimed in an interview that she had “beaten her demons.”

And the star, who notoriously suffered a collapsed septum in 2002 after years of cocaine abuse, insisted she was moving forwards.

She said: “I’m a cocaine addict. If I’m going to find coke, I’m gonna climb a mountain to find it. But I can’t worry about that. My life is different now.

“My demons have been put to bed. Now I can move forward.”
