She recently showed off the results of her latest cosmetic surgery, but while Danniella Westbrook is thrilled with her fresh new look, sources say she is living in fear as she prepares to undergo three further procedures.

The former EastEnders star, 52, returned from Dubai last month, where she had a full face, neck and brow lift.

But despite posting a sun-drenched snap of herself looking happy post-op, we're told that behind closed doors, the star is finding things hard.

"She's struggling to breathe and sleep after the surgery," says a source. “She's been breaking down in tears and has been eating through a straw. Each day there is a little improvement, but obviously it has been painful. She's tired of all the operations.”

Last week Danniella put a positive spin on her latest ordeal, captioning her snap, “Three more nose operations to go. So we're over half way there now... Facelift has really changed me and given me my confidence back.” But our source says the prospect of future surgery and the associated risks means the former soap star is crippled by anxiety.

“She's not like Katie Price, who thrives on having surgery and gets really excited – Danniella dreads it,” says our source. “She is terrified of every op, but she needs to get back to work.”

Danniella has previously opened up about her fear of going under the knife, despite once being a big fan of altering her body.
