‘I need it to survive’

Daniella Westbrook, best known for her role in the British soap opera EastEnders, has suffered for years from respiratory problems and severe bullying related to her deteriorating appearance. Literally. The use of cocaine has damaged the bones in her face to such an extent that her face has become completely disfigured. To restore her appearance, she had to pay no less than 500,000 pounds. However, luck seems to smile on her again, because instead of having to dig deep herself, she is fully reimbursed for the operations by the NHS, the national health care system of the United Kingdom.
