Danniella Westbrook wants to get married in Liverpool.
The former ‘EastEnders’ actress, who is engaged to 24-year-old Tom Richards, wants to tie the knot with her beau in the English city after nixing plans to marry abroad.
She said: "I said I wanted to get married abroad, but now I want to get married in Liverpool. It’s England’s best kept secret!"
Danniella – who recently experienced a heartbreaking miscarriage – admits she isn’t interested in an engagement ring from Tom and would rather he splash out on a nice holiday for her and her kids from previous relationships, Kai, 17, and Jodi, 12, whom she had with ex-husband Kevin Jenkins.
She said: "I didn’t want a ring. We talked about it and he asked, ‘Would you get married again?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, but don’t do the ring thing.’ I’d rather go on holiday.
"We were in Spain and he threw me in a freezing swimming pool and then when we came up from under the water, he said, ‘Will you marry me?’ "
The 40-year-old star has battled cocaine addiction and bipolar disorder in the past, so she insists her family are less shocked about the 16-year age gap between her and Tom.
Daniella told Britain’s OK! magazine: "After the things I’ve put my mum through, an age difference is the last thing that would shock her! And if it’s good enough for [former on-screen mum] Barbara Windsor, it’s good enough for me!"
