The former glamour model split from husband Jamie O’Hara – the father of her sons Archie, 10, Harry, nine, and George, seven – in 2014 and though she went on to marry Michael O’Neill in 2018, she admitted she’s still feeling the impact of her the “humiliating” end of her marriage.
Danielle – who also has three-year-old Ronnie with Michael – told Closer magazine: “It’s not easy. It’s definitely affected my confidence and it still affects me now.
“It was the worst time of my life. I felt humiliated.”
The 37-year-old star has sought help on “healing [her] inner thoughts” to get over the trauma but it took her some time before she was ready to move on.
She said: “It’s taken a lot. I still speak to people now to work on healing my inner thoughts and my subconscious.
“It’s definitely helped with being able to love myself.
“I feel like I respect myself for the choice I made to walk away – but it wasn’t an easy decision.
“It does take a long time. It’s important not to rush into things.
“When I first met Michael, I wasn’t ready for a new relationship. But we met again three months later and that was it – the rest was history.”
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star admitted she was terrified she’d be alone forever, and also concerned about how the divorce would affect their sons.
She added: “Obviously the impact on the kids is massive. I was a single mum.
"You think, ‘Who is going to want to go out with someone like me? Who is going to want to take on three kids who aren’t theirs? That was hard.”
At the time, Danielle threw herself into partying in a bid to feel better.
She explained: “I was going out and drinking more. You try to do anything to make yourself happy.”
