Danniella Westbrook has released her own revenge porn photos to defeat a stalker she claims stole the photos and threatened to kill her and her children.
The former EastEnders actress, 44, was driven to release the personal photos after claiming the stalker had made threats against her life and that of her two children Kai, 21 and Jodie, 16, and to take control back reports The Sun.
She says the stalker’s two-year campaign of harrassment worsened after they threatened to release the intimate photos stolen from her iCloud account – sent during a sexting session with a 21-year-old personal trainer she met on a dating app.

The star said she was ‘petrified’ by the messages, is unable to sleep at night and has become ill due to the stress of the harrowing messages.
The star said:’ Rather than let someone hold me over a barrel… I thought it’s just easier to put these pictures out [myself] – and say ‘This is what I’m up against.’
‘I’ve been f****** petrified of this woman. It started in 2016. It’s been constant, for two years… week in week out.’
MailOnline has contacted Danniella’s representative for comment.
The star said she had contacted police on Thursday, handed over her phone and now wants to see her stalker thrown in prison.
