Loose Women viewers SLAM panel for 'ripping into' Danniella Westbrook: 'Absolutely brutal'
Jane Moore expresses concern for Danniella Westbrook
The ladies asked the former addict if she had made the right decision to run a business where she would be surrounded by alcohol and people using drugs.
Jane Moore asked: "Isn't that like being on a diet and opening a cake shop?"
But the former EastEnders star insisted: "I'm better on the other side of the bar. I'm a people person."
Despite defending her decision, the Loose Women panellist continued: "How many times are we going to see you say 'I'm recovering, I'm doing well'?
"I think part of the issue for me is that you keep coming back and it's become part of your currency that you fall of the wagon."

"I will always be an addict," Danniella admitted before adding that she appeared on the show to "make people aware of mental health and addiction".

One fan tweeted: "Jesus the #loosewomen need to give Daniela a chance to speak! They are ripping into her here, it's hard to watch!"
While another added: "Omg @janem absolutely brutal and vile doing this interview! Bashing an addict for being an addict... horrible ! #itsanillness #LooseWomen."
"These ladies are bashing someone for being an addicted. Addiction is a seriously thing especially if they have mental illness #LooseWomen," a third shared.
