DANNIELLA Westbrook has quit Twitter after struggling with “constant trolling”.
The former EastEnders actress, 49, has decided to no longer use the site herself and has handed over the power to her social media team in order to protect her mental health.
Danniella told her followers: “This will be the last tweet I write as I have handed my Twitter over to a social media company to run for me.
“I find the childish taunting [sic] and constant bullying a drain on my mental health. I would like to thank everyone who has been supportive over the years & wish u love.
“But I feel I have no choice but to remove myself from this platform because they do nothing to stop trolls from constantly hating on people. I will be on my other social media platforms.”

Just a couple of weeks ago Danniella also took a step away from Instagram as she again struggled with online bullying.
She said at the time: “I am seriously struggling with the constant trolling and hate I’m receiving. Please don’t send me hate.”
Danniella has had a hard time recently after a series of complications with surgery, splitting with her fiancé and then getting back together and being detained in Spain.
The star, best known for playing Sam Mitchell, was stopped by police just a few weeks ago when she arrived in Spain for a holiday – after failing to pay an old fine.
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.
She was arrested by Spanish police and detained for 14 hours at the time.
