Danniella Westbrook says she wants to find 'true love' on reality dating show

Danniella Westbrook has admitted she is keen to find love again and wouldn't say no to taking part in one of the best known reality TV dating shows.

The former EastEnders star hasn't had the easiest love life and now she thinks she could do with a helping hand from theCelebs Go Dating agency when it comes to finding her next romantic partner.

Danniella, 51, is convinced a stint on the popular dating series could help her make sure her next partner is “the real deal.” Danniella even went as far as to say she would "love" the chance to appear on the showto help fulfil her quest to find true love.

Speaking to Daily Starin collaboration with casino.org, Danniella said, “I’d love to do Celebs Go Dating. I need to find true love. I thought I’d found it, but I was wrong.”

The actress also confirmed that she isn't looking for anything flashy, and would prefer to shy away from the glamour of celebrity life.

She continued, “What kind of person would I like to be matched with? Someone with a job. Honestly, a good mate of mine, Danny, he’s been in the industry for years doing hair.

"He’s worked with huge celebrities like Cara Delevingne and loads of others. If you could find someone like my mate Dan, that would be perfect."

She then stressed the importance of having a strong work ethic - and being sober - as she added, “He understands how tough this industry can be and has a solid work ethic. He’s clean and sober, so he’d get where I’m coming from with my own lifestyle.”

Danniella has regularly opened up about her struggles with substance addiction in the past and her difficult road to sobriety. Now she is seeking a connection that isn't based on hunger for fame, or with someone looking to get a rise in life from her celebrity status.

She shared, “I’d love to meet someone who’s not a clout chaser, someone genuine who isn’t obsessed with social media or has a massive ego. Just someone real, with a bit of drive.

"Someone who doesn’t want to suddenly be an actor or go on Big Brother once you’ve lived with them, you know, suddenly they want to give up everything they’re doing and become famous.”

Danniella confessed that having her heartbroken recently has made her feel more cautious about trying to find love, and that the negative experience did take its toll on her. But she hasn't been put off by the experience and is still keen to pursue new connections and just wants to find a "spark" again.

She said, “When you get to 51, and you think you’ve found ‘the one’, like I thought I had not too long ago, and it doesn’t work out, it knocks you a bit. So now, I’m just trying to find that spark and energy again.”
