Danniella had recently filmed a celebrity special of The Jeremy Kyle Show, which was supposed to air tomorrow.
The star was returning to the Jeremy Kyle Show to peak about her recovery from cocaine addiction in a “heartbreaking” episode after the programme paid for her to go to rehab.
During her appearance on the show back in February, she revealed she was still regularly using drugs and had snorted cocaine just four days before appearing.
She admitted: “Listen, if I had the money, I would be back to where I used to be – doing 11 bags a day.”
Danniella has battled years of drug abuse, which led to her nose rotting off. She maintains it was always down to a secret health battle with osteoporosis.
