Danniella Westbrook’s daughter says mom’s jailbird lover makes her ‘very happy’ as she prepares to meet him

DANNIELLA Westbrook’s daughter Jodie Jenkins has admitted she’s not impressed by their eight-year age difference with her mother’s incarcerated lover.

The former EastEnders actress, 48, recently confirmed her relationship with a 28-year-old named David from Liverpool, who will be released from prison in 11 months.

And her lookalike daughter Jodie, 20, who is now signed to an influencer agency and has amassed 14,900 Instagram followers, revealed David puts a smile on her mum’s face.

When asked if she’s met David, Jodie said, “No, not yet. I think ‘let her do what she wants to do’. She lets me get on with my life, I let her get on with hers.

“We have a friendship relationship as such, so I tell her something, she tells me something, we’re very open about things like that,” Jodie said at the Celeb MMA party in Lit, London, which she attended with her mother.

“I’ve let her get on with what she needs to do and I’m sure he’s a lovely man. He makes her very happy, so I don’t mind.”

Discussing the 20-year age difference between her mother and David, Jodie added, “I don’t feel anything because I think age is just a number.

“I think if you love someone, you love them no matter how old they are, and I think in Hollywood there are so many celebrities who date 20-year-olds.

“It can be viewed as a little less just because [she is a] soap star.”

Meanwhile, Danniella showed off the results of her surgery at the event as she posed for red carpet photos in a pink jumpsuit and colorful blazer.

On the way to the venue, she posted: “Still so swollen and super sore but can’t miss this beautiful day.”

Danniella recently revealed to The Sun that cosmetic surgeons asked for £500,000 to fix her face – but now she’s getting it for free from the NHS.

The 48-year-old is undergoing five surgeries after her infamous collapsed nose made it difficult for her to breathe.

It’s been a long seven-year quest that has left many doctors unwilling to take on the challenge — without a huge price tag.

But when Danniella ended up in intensive care over Christmas with a cold, she finally found surgeons capable of performing the life-changing procedure.

She exclusively told The Sun: “I’ve spent the last seven years trying to get someone to do it but they said no if it failed and they were axed.

“Cosmetic surgeons wanted £500,000 to change my face so I figured I’d never make it. It was just because I went to ICU before Christmas.

“I couldn’t breathe because I had a cold. Fluid had built up and after falling asleep I couldn’t wake up properly and ended up in intensive care.

“I was sent to Aintree Hospital in Liverpool and it was only because I was introduced to the right doctors otherwise I would still be waiting to find someone now.

“That’s why I’m doing this. I need this surgery to survive. It’s not vanity, it’s about my health. It hampers my lifestyle day by day.”
