Sister to Ross and Grant and daughter of Peggy, Sam Mitchell was a force to be reckoned with in Eastenders and Danniella Westbrook took on the infamous role at just 16. Since then her off screen story has been like a rollercoaster. Highs, lows, twists and turns and every single moment has been documented by the press. Lee worked with Danniella on her last stint in Albert Square and they talk frankly and openly about her addiction, the press attention and what life holds in store for her now.
