Danniella Westbrook enjoys a night out at Cabaret All Stars after threatening to sue the BBC

Danniella Westbrook was in high spirits despite her recent claims she was planning to sue the BBC, as she stepped out to watch her friend John Partridge in Cabaret All Stars at Proud Embankment in London on Friday.

The actress, 48, posed up a storm at the venue, opting for a black mini dress and a matching hat as she arrived at the venue. 

The garment featured some glitzy diamanté jewels around the collar to add a touch of glamour to her look.

She opted to wear some black tights to match the rest of her ensemble and stood tall on a pair of black heels for the evening.

The former EastEnders cast member hugged John, 50 – who also appeared on the soap – who was dressed in his costume of a black waistcoat with a gold pattern with dark trousers. 

Danniella took to Instagram to share a picture of herself with another friend as the pair watch John from the audience.

Danniella recently hit out at EastEnders for reportedly not informing her that her role as Sam Mitchell had been recast.

Kim Medcalf has been chosen to reprise the role over her.

Speaking to The Sun, Danniella said she was ‘shocked’ not to have been told about the casting decision prior to it being made public.

She said: ‘I’ve been known as Sam Mitchell for 32 years. But nobody at EastEnders contacted me to let me know they had recast Kim in the role. There wasn’t even an email to my agent. I was shocked because they do have a responsibility to tell me and someone should have.’

The star – who has struggled with drug addiction since the age of 14 – added: ‘The bosses have seen me go through addiction and they have no idea where I am today.

‘Thankfully I’m OK. But if I hadn’t been it could have had very serious consequences for me.’
