Danniella Westbrook has lost her teeth whitening job.

The 43-year-old actress was let go from Lip Couture in Liverpool because of her lack of personal hygiene after she allegedly left bloodied tissues around the salon that she used to wipe up her fragile septum, which famously collapsed in 2000 due to her excessive use of cocaine, according to the shop's owner Nicole Francis.
The beautician also claimed the former 'EastEnders' star - who quite regularly rocked up to set of the BBC One soap when she made a brief return earlier this year a few hours after her scheduled time - was late on her first day.
Nicole told The Sun Online: "Unfortunately day one of her starting the business she turned up late and was all over the place.
"She left tissues on the side with blood and anything else coming out of her nose in a clinical room, so I said to cover it for hygiene purposes!"
However, Nicole is adamant Danniella's look had nothing to do with her getting the sack and she would be open to working with her again in the future.
She explained: "This was the only reason we did not go ahead with the treatment. It was the hygiene element and nothing to do with her appearance.
"I still count Danniella as a friend, and I wish her well, especially at this time of year. I also hope we can work together in the future."
Danniella hit the headlines earlier this week after it was revealed she was homeless because she had been unable to keep up with her rent but it seems there could be light at the end of the tunnel as her former 'Celebrity Big Brother' co-star John Partridge has reached out to her and asked her to get in touch with him if she's in trouble.
The 45-year-old actor said: "I mean I love Danniella. It's terrible to hear that and if Danniella sees this or reads this and she needs something then she should get in touch. I'm her friend, I've worked with her and I know her.
"I feel desperately desperately sorry for her. How do you help somebody? It's so difficult to know the right thing to do, but I want her to know if she needs anything then get in touch with me. She's so vulnerable."
Danniella has been staying "here there and everywhere" in recent weeks after she was turfed out of her home but is said to be looking for a house up North.
A source said: "She's been busy viewing but hasn't found her new home. Obviously timing isn't great with it being so close to Christmas but she isn't rushing into anything and is staying with friends and family over the festive period.
"Danniella now has a whole new team around her after spending a lot of 2016 surrounded by toxic people."
