Danniella Westbrook shows off her surgically-enhanced assets in a sheer lace top as she heads to dinner in Essex

She had a tumultuous 2017, having split from her Spanish fiancé Alan Thomason back in October. 

But Danniella Westbrook appeared in high spirits as she headed to a friend's birthday meal in Essex on Thursday night.

The former EastEnders star, 44, was dressed to impress for the evening out, flaunting her surgically-enhanced assets in a sheer lacy top.

Featuring a key-hole design over the chest, the former soap personality teased a glimpse of her ample cleavage and silky white bra in the revealing top.

Danniella paired the risque number with a black tailored suit, which cinched in her tiny waist with its double breasted design.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star complemented the look with black heels and a Gucci shoulder bag, while adding a pop of colour to her ensemble with a pale blue trilby hat.

Danniella, who recently returned from a sun-soaked holiday in Spain, accentuated her golden tan with bronzed cheeks and a glossy lip.

It comes as the television personality has been trying to prevent the release of explicit pictures and graphic texts that were being circulated last week as part of a revenge porn attack.

In a bid to minimise the damage, Danniella quickly informed her Twitter followers that her lawyers were involved and confidently quipped she hopes her 'body looks amazing' in the images.

The former Eastenders actress also opened up on Twitter on Thursday about how she had 'felt so ill' following her radical surgical makeover last year.

Daniella, who underwent a facelift in a bid to recapture her youth as well as a breast augmentation, revealed the struggles she faced with the recovery process. 

She told her followers: 'Been so ill with surgery etc the last year the only thing I’ve found to boost my immune system is this @BumbleZest check them out if you want to be good inside. And out xx' 

But the actress has not let her recent woes stop her from seeking out new love.

At the weekend, it was reported that Danniella had listed herself on dating app Bumble, in a bid to find a new man. 

A source told The Daily Star on Sunday: 'She's had more than her fair share of heart-ache but is hopeful it will all change this year.

'She's trying to think positively and is making a new start with a new profile and even a new name.'

The report claims that the former EastEnders star is listed under the alias 'Dolly' as an 'actress writer presenter momma'. 

Last year was a particularly traumatic one for Danniella, who called off her engagement to Spanish fiancé Alan Thomason in October, following a turbulent few months.

The pair were rocked by the devastating news that she had miscarried their child in September.

She said at the time: 'When I went to the doctor they said the [amniotic] sac wasn't sticking right, my womb wasn't strong enough. lost a lot of blood, it's been really painful.'
