Danniella planning to allow TV cameras into her 'circus' home

Danniella Westbrook wants her own reality TV show.

The former 'EastEnders' actress believes her home life with her boyfriend of six weeks, Tom Richards, and her children Kai, 17, and Jodi, 12, would make for hilarious viewing and she's ready to let the cameras follow her around 24/7.

Quizzed on what she and Tom had planned for the future, she said: "We're talking about getting our own reality show. I always say my house is like a circus, so it'll make good TV."

The 40-year-old star - who began a relationship with the cage fighter after her 12-year marriage to Kevin Jenkins ended in January - famously battled a £400-per-day cocaine addiction during the 90s, but she's admitted even the end of her marriage didn't tempt her to back to the drug.

Quizzed on whether she's ever feared a relapse, she told Closer magazine: "Not once. It's been difficult, but I ended things with Kevin because I wasn't happy. I feel free now."

Danniella claims her relationship with her ex fell apart because he wasn't supportive of her work as an actress.

She explained: "It all came to a head last Christmas. I was doing panto in Portsmouth for eight weeks and he never came to see the show once. One day he called me and I just snapped. I told him to pack his bags and not be there when I got home. I'd had enough."
