Ex-'EastEnders' star Danniella Westbrook eyes 'Benidorm' part

EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook has outlined her desire to star in hit ITV comedy Benidorm.

The 38-year-old has only worked sporadically since leaving her famous role of Sam Mitchell in the Albert Square soap.















Regarding her future plans, she told the Daily Star Sunday: "I'm having meetings with people but I don't know what's coming up, you just need to have faith.

"If I could have any job in the world it would be Benidorm - an old trollop from Essex."

Praising the sitcom's lead writer, she added: "I love Derren Litten's writing, it's funny and creative.

"I said to him, 'Why do you only have Northerners in there? London people go to Benidorm as well'."

Fellow former EastEnders cast member Cheryl Fergison, whose character Heather Trott was killed off earlier this year, recently announced that she has signed up for a new show penned by Litten.

Westbrook also spoke about her belief in Christianity, having converted last year.

"I became a Christian when I was in America. My best friend is my pastor," she added. "I went along to their church and I've never experienced anything like it."
