Pregnant Danniella Westbrook pictured smoking

Danniella Westbrook has allegedly been seen smoking at a beach party in Benidorm, just one month after confirming her pregnancy.

The former EastEnders actress, 43, was photographed with a cigarette in hand, as she danced in front of a table littered with alcohol, at the bash in Spain on Friday.

Danniella confirmed she was expecting a baby with her new beau Alan Thompson, 34, five weeks ago, and even recently hinted the pair may be welcoming twins.

In the snap obtained by The Sun, Danniella is seen displaying her blossoming bump in a nude mesh bikini as she joins a host of friends at the raucous beach party.

However, checking her phone as she danced beside a table covered with bottles of beer, a cigarette is clearly visible in her hand – with sources claiming the star was happily smoking in view of guests.

An insider told the paper: ‘Danniella was puffing away on a cigarette while she hung out with everyone.

‘She appeared to be drinking as she stood at the table with a big smile on her face.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Danniella for comment. 

The blonde revealed she was expecting her first child with new man Alan last month – admitting the pregnancy ‘definitely wasn’t planned’ but that she’s ‘super-excited’ to have more kids.

Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, the mother-of-two also gushed that her Spanish boyfriend Alan was ‘gorgeous’ and the only man who could ‘tame’ her.

Discussing the prospect that she might have twins, she excitedly told Lorraine: ‘I don’t know if I’m having two, because I’m huge!

‘Every time I stand up I think “God, I’m huge”. It may well be twins but I don’t have a scan for another four or five weeks.

‘I’m super excited to have some more [kids]. Well – have another! I’m tired all the time, but I feel good in myself.’ 

Just two days before confirming her happy news, Danniella had adamantly denied swirling rumours she was pregnant, claiming she was simply ‘fat’ instead.

The new arrival will be her third child – having already welcomed Kai in 1996 and daughter Jodie in 2001 with her businessman ex-husband Kevin Jenkins.

Danniella confessed back in 2012 that she had taken cocaine during her first pregnancy, after a very public battle with drink and drugs over the years.   

Speaking to Jeremy Kyle, the former addict cried as she revealed she had done the drug minutes before giving birth to Kai, now 20, and ten minutes after he was born.

She confessed: ‘I asked people to leave the delivery room after I’d given birth so I could have a line.’

She went on to reveal she was using up to five grams a day during her pregnancy, with her children even forced to step in at some points, to help her recover from subsequent reactions.

She explained:  ‘I was in a terrible state. My 3-year-old son was trying to put a Mars bar in my mouth, trying to make me come round.
