British actress Danniella Westbrook has revealed she’s jetting off to Turkey this weekend for her final face transformation ahead of her 50th birthday.

The mum-of-two appeared alongside her son Kai Jenkins, 26, at a London film premiere earlier this week, and opened up on when she’d be heading off, The Sun reports.

The former UK soap star has been left with crumbling bones and a collapsed jaw and cheekbone due to years of cocaine addiction.

And she said she’s “nervous” as she told The Sun she’d be leaving for Turkey at the weekend.

In an exclusive chat, Danniella revealed: “I’m off to Turkey at the weekend.

“I’m not feeling too bad. A bit nervous but I’m excited because it’s been five or six years of waiting now. It’s about time.”

Danniella rocked up in a chic black outfit and sported long blonde locks.

The actress revealed she’d just got her hair done yesterday as she debuted the glam new look.

“I went to Ireland to get it done yesterday. It’s new,” she shared.

Danniella was famously left with a disfigured nose after her abuse caused her septum — which separates the nostrils — to rot and eventually collapse.

And she’s going to extensive lengths to try and fix her face.

It comes as Danniella’s fans were left shocked after she revealed she’s nearly 50 years old.

She wrote online: “I turn 50 in November. So a huge thank you to all of you for your support in the glory days and the dark times. I am so full of gratitude to everyone.”

The comments section was flooded with positive replies, as one person wrote: “How are you turning 50!!!! Good luck Danniella you truly deserve it.”

Another said: “50? Give over stop lying! U don’t age and I’m jealous as I just found ANOTHER grey hair.”

A third person added: “This is awesome, and you certainly don’t look nearly 50.”

The star said she’d like to be abroad for her landmark birthday and stay at an elephant sanctuary instead of having a big party.
