Daniella Westbrook is 'ready to marry soulmate boxer and makes further plans to go under the knife'
Daniella Westbrook is reported to have finally found her 'soulmate' and is now planning to marry the bareknuckle boxer who 'doesn't judge her'.
The actress, 51, who rose to fame on Eastenders, is in a 'love bubble' with Charlie 'Chasa Real Talk' Symonds, 42, following her highly publicised personal struggles.
She is even said to be planning additional surgery to get herself looking her best ahead of what could be her third marriage.
An insider told OK! magazine: 'Danniella feels that she's found her soulmate. Chasa doesn't judge her one bit and doesn't care what has happened in her past.
'He understands all about the issues she's been through but is supportive – he just wants to make her happy.
'She's really smitten and feels like she can trust him, which is a really big deal for her.'

The TV star hinted that the romance was getting serious on Instagram where she shared snaps from her Greek getaway with Chasa.
The pair reportedly began as friends, having known each other for six years, before deciding to take their relationship to the next level.
This was confirmed by Chasa himself, who wrote on Instagram: 'Sometimes that one friend is just too good to let go.'
According to the insider, Daniella has been praying for a happy relationship for a long time.
They added: 'She is thinking about marriage and definitely wants to tie the knot with him, it's a no brainer for her and she's ready to commit fully.'
Daniella was previously married to Ben Morgan between 1998 and 1999 and then Kevin Jenkins from 2001 to 2014.
Her nasal septum famously collapsed in 2000 following excessive cocaine use and while she has had corrective surgery since then, she is said to be considering additional work ahead of any wedding.
The claims come after Daniella said her life has 'changed dramatically' since her father passed away at the start of 2024.
This tragedy enabled Daniella to 'pull herself back from the brink' again.
She wrote on Instagram: 'I got myself back into recovery and [have] taken the right opportunities that have come and do come my way.
'I feel so grateful, blessed and useful.'
Chasa, whose boxing name is the 'Croydon Bomber', is no stranger to the limelight even without Daniella and is signed to Conor McGregor's Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
He has also publicly spoken about his own addiction issues, revealing that drugs had led him 'down a dark road'.
However, he is reported to have been in recovery now for several years.

Beyonce smokes a cigarette onstage during final stadium concert in Paris
Beyonce surprised her fans when she started smoking a cigarette during her Cowboy Carter concert tour stop in Paris, France over the weekend. On Sunday, the superstar pulled out a cigarette mid-performance and started pretending to puff on the prop during her show. As seen in fan-taken footage at previous shows, she would take 'smoking hot' literally and go onstage to theatrically light a piano on fire. The Texas Hold 'Em hitmaker performed the final one out of three shows in Paris and even brought out her husband Jay-Z for a surprise performance. For the first time in seven years, the rapper joined her onstage to close out the show for a surprise Crazy In Love duet. The singer-songwriter made her concert in the City of Lights a family affair as she also performed with her eldest daughter Blue Ivy like she had done for her preceding shows. Beyonce's mom Tina Knowles was also reportedly in attendance alongside eight-year-old daughter Rumi Carter but her twin brother Sir Carter did not make an appearance. With a stadium full of her cheering fans, Beyonce took to the stage in a glamorous outfit with a fur vest with an incredibly long train trailing behind her as she strutted around onstage. She wore a sparkly, silver bustier paired with high-waisted, cheeky microshorts and over-the-knee cowboy boots. The final Cowboy Carter concert in Paris comes shortly after it was revealed that Beyonce and Jay-Z's eldest child Blue Ivy is interested in releasing songs of her own. An insider told the Daily Mail this week that the teenager is saddling up to follow in her parents' shoes and 'is considering starting her own career in music.' The source continued, 'Some of Beyoncé's favorite writers are quietly penning demos for her in anticipation of a solo album.' With no shortage of industry bigwigs to lean on, the youngster has reportedly sought help from her famous aunt Solange Knowles and already has tracks lined up from The-Dream, should she want them. The American songwriter and producer has long worked with Beyoncé, co-writing songs including Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) and Break My Soul from her Grammy-winning Renaissance album.

The actor, 48, was spotted spending time with his little girl Daisy in Perth on Sunday. Father and daughter were joined by members of his entourage, including a man who appeared to be a security guard. Katy, who performed at Perth RAC Arena that night, did not join the group. Ever the doting dad, Orlando carried Daisy on his shoulders ad they took at stroll around the city's CBD.

Orlando dressed casually for the outing, wearing a long-sleeve printed top and matching black jeans. He did his best to go incognito by wearing a baseball cap on his head. Daisy appeared thrilled to be spending time with her father after being on tour with her mother since the start of June. Orlando's trip Down Under comes after reports that Katy and Orlando are set to have serious conversations about the state of their relationship. From her controversial Blue Origin space flight to her absence from their Montecito, California home due to her world tour – things have been a bit rough for the longtime couple lately. And while rumors may be circulating about the demise of their nearly decade long relationship, an insider told The Sun 'no one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.' 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets,' a source told the publication. 'But Katy especially doesn't want to just give up,' the source continued. Katy has been in Australia for the entire month of June, with the last performance of her Lifetimes Tour Down Under on June 30 in Adelaide. Her tour has caused the 'biggest disruption' in her home life with the Lord of the Rings star. The source said: 'Katy and Orlando have been disconnected for a while now, and with their work commitments have been living separate lives. 'She has mentioned jetting back from Australia to spend time with Orlando, Daisy, her sister Angela and her kids. 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months. 'It has been "go, go, go" and they thrived when they enjoyed a more settled life, being together in the same place for a length of time. But that has just not happened.' Additionally, Orlando wasn't in favor of Katy's Blue Origin space flight. However, in spite of their disagreements and obstacles, the source insisted it isn't all over for the couple. 'It is quite a lot more complicated than that. They have been apart for their longest amount of time since they have been together. 'But there is still a huge amount of love between them, and there is still hope that they can ride out this rough patch. 'Anyone in long term relationships goes through challenges, and many times when things appear to be done, couples reconnect and make things work.' Despite recent tensions, the source remains optimistic: 'The type of people they are, there still remains a lot of hope. Katy has never been happier in her life than with Orlando.' 'If this reunion can revive those times, then they could come through this.' It is unknown if Katy is also set to fly to Venice, Italy for the wedding of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos. The guest list is thought to have less than 200 people, with suspected guests including A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy and Orlando and members of the Trump family. The Amazon boss has booked the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, one of the largest and grandest buildings in the historical center of Venice, as part of the multi-day-long extravaganza of celebrations. Up until now, little has been known about what may be dubbed as the wedding of the year - but a source in Italy has exclusively revealed to the Daily Mail all of the intimate details that you need to know. According to the insider, Bezos' $500 million superyacht, Koru, will be moored off the coast of San Georgio Maggiore island, which is home to the famous Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, a 16th century Benedictine church. They shared that the island is 'off-limits to visitors' from June 24 to June 29, with the mayor believing that the wedding will take place on the yacht. However, The Misericodria, an iconic event space in Venice, has been booked out from June 26 to June 28.
