Danniella Westbrook has posted a sweet throwback picture with her son - and fans can’t believe how different she looked.
The actor, now 49, took to her Instagram stories on Wednesday evening to share the old snap which shows a very fresh-faced Danniella and her son Kai Jenkins when he was just a boy.
The former EastEnders star was glowing as she cuddled up beside her little one, who’s now 26-years-old.
Donning the early 2000s fashion of the time, Danniella looked stylish in a patterned headscarf which she paired with a denim jacket, whilst her hair was cut in a Britney Spears-style shoulder-length chop.

Kai, who she shares with Robert Fernandez, looked adorable in the image as he grinned and appeared to don a matching denim jacket.
Taking to her Instagram grid the same evening, Danniella also posted the same snap in colour as she wrote: “Side by side from day one …. A mothers love knows no bounds #motherandsonbond #familyfirst #myworld."
Danniella’s latest Instagram upload comes after the star previously sparked concern after sharing a cryptic post about family 'breaking her'.
The actress shared a screenshot of someone tweeting about their 'scars' coming from those close to them.
It read: "Not one scar on my heart came from an enemy. They all came from people who 'cared' about me."

"Family [broken heart emoji] broke me [broken heart emoji] and faith built me... 2023 I'm ready [heart emoji]," Danniella captioned the post.
She shared another tweet from the same person which read: "People who can't communicate think everything is an argument."
Her cryptic post comes a month after Danniella revealed to fans she moved abroad for her 'happiness and mindset'.
The Ex- EastEnders star made the trip after a health scare and a return to acting for a one-off performance in an adult-only pantomime, but didn't reveal where she would be heading to.
