Daniella Westbrook's a home girl
Monday, 5th October 2009.
EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook has revealed she prefers to stay at home with her family rather than live the wild life.
The once-troubled star, who recently returned to Albert square as bad seed Sam Mitchell, says she is not interested in partying any more.
The Londoner reckons being a doting wife and mum is much more appealing.
"I'm not interested in clubs and, you know what, I'm old," she says.
"Who wants to see some 35-year-old strumpet standing at the bar?"
The ex-cocaine addict - who found the going tough when she spent a few days in the Australian jungle as part of reality show I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2003 - thanks her husband for sticking with her through thick and thin.
She says: "My husband Kevin loved me when I was at my worst. His belief in me kept me going. He's the other half of me.
But being at home most of the time means she runs a tight ship... and can be a bit strict with her children, Kai, 12, and eight-year-old Jodie.
"I'm a bit of a control freak around my kids," she says.
"I love them so it's hard not to be protective of them."
