The former 'EastEnders' star, 42, hasn't had the best of luck in the romance department since splitting from her fiancé Tom Richards, 25, earlier this year, but it seems things are finally starting to look up for the blonde beauty as she's fallen head over heels for her new beau George Arnold, 23.

Taking to her Twitter account last night (21.12.15), the troubled actress wrote: "'After a 12hr day on set crying in every scene but 2, I'm now driving 190 miles 2 c a certain someone for 24 hours #smitten. #southlondonbeau (sic)."

But, despite being loved up, Danniella is adamant she won't let her "intense therapy sessions" slip following her recent attempts to end her life by overdosing on cocaine.

She said earlier this month: "I've just gone back to doing therapy again, quite a lot of intense therapy. I think you can never stop working on yourself and if you want to prevent things happening in your life, you need to keep moving on and moving forwards. I do feel very blessed that I'm still here and I do feel ashamed that I made a huge mistake with my relapse and everything. I do feel ashamed for my weakness. I have to keep that at the forefront of my mind [because] if I don't, it's a very dangerous place for me."
