The 43-year-old actress is poised to marry her 34-year-old lover following a whirlwind romance after she was recently pictured showing off her engagement ring during a vacation in Spain.

The loved-up duo were seen kissing and cuddling in the sun during their holiday and Danniella was happy to pose for a selfie posted on her Twitter account on Thursday (10.08.17).

Alongside a snap of herself wearing a bikini, Danniella wrote: "Sorry for my absence from social media but love does that to a girl but I'm back and happiest I've ever been in my life (sic)"

And following reports of their engagement, Danniella later returned to the social media platform to confirm the couple's happy news.

The former 'EastEnders' star wrote: "For the record his Alan Thomason his 34 &he completes me (sic)"

In May, Danniella opened a bar in Marbella, Spain - despite being a recovering alcoholic.

The actress - who returned to taking cocaine after suffering a miscarriage in 2016 - admitted she still has a drink from time to time.

However, she doesn't see having her own boozer as a problem because she will be working from "the other side of the bar".

Asked whether her life is easier when she's overseas, Danniella replied: "We are creatures of habit like animals, we need structure in our life. I've just opened a bar with a friend of mine in Spain.

"I am better on the other side of the bar, I am a people person. I'm known for nightlife and DJing anyway in Ibiza. I can't just stop my life."
