Danniella Westbrook left the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house last month to get a new set of teeth fitted.

The 42-year-old actress accidentally let slip in last night's episode (05.02.16) that she was given permission to make a quick dash to the dentist to get her gnashers done.

When asked during an awkward press conference task why she kicked off when former housemate Jeremy McConnell's dirty trainer were slipped under her pillow as a joke, the blonde beauty replied: "I'd just been out to have my veneers done - when that happened. I was worried about infection."

The former 'EastEnders' star, who was known for playing megabitch Sam Mitchell in the soap, dropped jaws two weeks ago when she locked horns with Stephanie Davis, 22, after learning she was the mastermind behind the practical joke.

She screeched at the time: "Why is one of Jeremy's shoes under one of my pillows. It's not nice. I've got to sleep in it. I feel like pulling all of the stuff off of her bed and p**s in it.

"Does she want me to go and hock a f***ing greeny up all over her bed? She's getting away with f***ing murder in this gaff."

Meanwhile, Danniella was forced to seek medical help when her dentures, which she had fitted after losing her back teeth in a car accident, got wedged in her food.

She said recently: "I've had sleepless nights and crying about the state my teeth are in.

"Sometimes you want to go out for dinner and have a great big bit of steak but I can't do that - I'll probably bite in to it and [the implant] will be stuck in the meat."
