Former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook told Celebrity Big Brother presenter Emma Willis the show had changed her life.
The soap actress finished in fifth place and emerged from the Elstree house to cheers from the crowd.
Speaking during her exit interview, she told Emma she had “turned a corner” in her life and that she “never even thought” a place in the final was a possibility.
During her time on the Channel 5 show, Danniella tried to leave several times after becoming exasperated with fellow housemate Stephanie Davis’s untidiness and hygiene habits.
But she spoke highly of the 22-year-old, insisting she’d like to see her walk out the winner.
Danniella, most famous for playing Albert Square’s Sam Mitchell, was told she looked like Marilyn Monroe by Emma and that sparked a reaction on Twitter.
