Danniella Westbrook blames ex Brian Harvey for getting her sacked from Hollyoaks in 2015
DANNIELLA Westbrook says she blames her ex-boyfriend Brian Harvey for getting her sacked from Hollyoaks.
The former couple are locked in a war of words after former East 17 frontman said his ex had put his life in danger by introducing him to members of a paedophile gang at a club.
Earlier today, ex-EastEnders star Danniella hit back, branding Brian a “paranoid coke freak” after he accused her of being a “murderer” on YouTube.
She has since accused him of being the reason why she was let go from the Channel 4 soap in 2015.
“I was always on your side,” said Danniella in a video on Instagram.
Referring to the time Brian turned up at Downing Street demanding to speak to then-PM David Cameron and accusing the government of ‘stealing his money’, she added: “I lost my job at Hollyoaks when I went back to Hollyoaks because of you – to come to Downing Street with you.
“If I was a paedophile would I do that? Lose a job that was putting food in my kids’ mouths?
“Because if I were those things would I have told them to stick the job at Hollyoaks when they said ‘if you don’t retract all the stuff when you went to Downing Street with Bryan Harvey then we can’t have you back on the show’ and I said fine, then I won’t come and do the job because I stand by everything that happened to me as a little girl.
“‘I’m not going to ignore it, the abuse that I went through as a child. So if you don’t want to keep me on the show then don’t have me back on the show.’
“And they didn’t they wrote me off. And that’s cool, they’re a young cast and they have to look after their own interests.”
The Sun has reached out to a Hollyoaks spokesman for comment.
Danniella dated Brian from 1991 to 1995.
But today Danniella, 47, revealed fans notified her of the shocking video Brian made about her.
The 46-year-old Brian said he had been interviewed by secret service agents over a “paedophile ring”.
He captioned the bizarre video on YouTube: “Because of you I am a dead man walking!”
Hitting back in a rage-fuelled rant, the upset star said she had been abused as a child and Brian’s claims could have caused her to relapse on drugs.
Addressing fans in her own video on Instagram, Danniella said: “I’m fuming with him. What a d**k head.
“I’m just going to address Brian Harvey slandering the s**t out of me. Saying I’m a murderer, stuff like that. Saying I set him up with a paedophile ring. Calling me a groomer. He’s mad …
“He’s having a bipolar meltdown. And I feel for him I do. And I have championed Brian. He’s on YouTube live now. I won’t calm down. Sorry the geezer is f**king crazy.
“The geezer’s live on YouTube moaning, calling me a paedophile. I’m furious with him because he’s slandering my name. I was the one who was abused as a child, Brian wasn’t.
“You’re on this rampage about paedophile rings when you weren’t even abused by one. MI5 are not on your case. I don’t know how you think that.
“You are a paranoid coke freak which I used to be, where you think everyone at your front door is MI5 and they’re gonna come through your door. They aint mate.
“It’s people like you that put me back into relapses. But you’re not going to do that. He thinks I’ve got convictions. He’s on there saying I brought MI5 to his house and stuff like that. What am I, Ms Money Penny?
“You’re fully live on your YouTube crying, sobbing, slandering me saying I am involved in paedophile rings. Mate I was abused all my life in this industry, you wasn’t Brian. You’re one of the lucky ones son, so why you’re sitting locked in your f**king house with bars on your windows I don’t know.”

She went on: “I’m just a woman who is trying to do the right thing and putting her past behind her and addiction behind her.
“People haven’t got a clue what I’ve been through with that boy. He’s on there calling me a paedophile when I’ve had paedophiles abusing me from when I was nine years old.”
