DANNIELLA Westbrook has been spotted slumped in the street after leaving the police station and facing a £3k fine for stealing petrol.

The former EastEnders actress, 49, was arrested by Spanish police and detained for 14 hours in 2018 - and was last week questioned again when she arrived in the country for a holiday.

In 2018 she was convicted of fraud after failing to pay for €37 (£32.90) worth of petrol at a motorway stop, but Danniella never paid the £30 fine.

This resulted in fears that the fine may have soared up to £3,500.

And now Danniella has been seen with her head in her hands after going to the Spanish police station, for the fine that has increased to a much larger sum.

Danniella appeared very downcast as she sat on the pavement with her back against the wall.

The mum-of-two wore a summery dress and sandals and held her bright blonde locks in her hands after the driving offence drama.

Danniella was also pictured leaving the building while looking less than impressed as she clutched hold of a designer Chloe handbag.

The star recently opened up on the ordeal and told The Mirror: "I landed in Ibiza and everybody went through passport control and when I put my passport in it [said] 'stop, wait for assistance' so I thought there was something wrong with my passport or whatever – them electronic things are always rubbish. 

“Anyway, the guy has come over and said: 'wait there'. Then the door opened and about six police officers came out and said to me, 'We need to speak to you'."

Danniella says she was taken into a holding room where they discussed the outstanding offence with her.

She says she feared she would be locked up - after being held by cops for 14 hours back in 2018.

She explained: "They said they have details for a denuncia, which is like an outstanding offence in Spain which has not been dealt with.

"I said, 'yes I'm fully aware of what it is and I've been trying to get the details from the judge and everything for the last five years' – or whatever it was."

She says she had hired a solicitor to look into it but had struggled to get the issue resolved.

Danniella said she was asked to fill out forms - and was told she would have to go to court.

She explained: "He said, 'Ideally can you go to court on Monday or Tuesday?' So I said, 'Yes no problem, I can go to court when I leave here I'm going back to Spain'.

"I was going to Alicante because I was going to see my cousin from Ibiza. They couldn't deal with it in Ibiza because it wasn't near where it happened. So they basically subpoenaed me up to the court to try and get it sorted out."
