Wearing a bright pink gown, long gloves and with a tiara on her head, Danniella clutched a microphone as she played the role of the fairy godmother.
The actress was only booked to appear in the Drury Lane panto for one night but it was touch and go as to whether she would actually make it.
Just four days ago, Danniella was pictured in the back of an ambulance as she was whisked to hospital after falling ill.
Alongside a photo of herself in a hospital gown, Danniella later told fans that she ‘could have had a heart attack’.
“Huge thank you to Whipps Cross and the NHS who have managed to get me stabilised,” she wrote.
“They informed me if I had left it until the morning I would have had a heart attack.”
“The pressure on my chest was so bad.”
Danniella said in a second post: “Septics (sic), Strep A and constant temperature of 39.8.”
An outbreak of Strep A has swept the country, with medics looking into fresh measures to combat the spread.
Deaths have been seen across the country in London, Belfast and Cardiff

Danniella has made an incredibly swift recovery, however, and was able to travel to Covent Garden on Monday for Sinderella!.
Filming herself in the back of a cab, she told her followers: “I’m just on my way to Covent Garden, to Drury Lane to start my first rehearsal for panto for tonight.
“So whoever is coming to see me, bear with me because I’ve had no rehearsal. I’m literally into rehearsal, then lock in and straight on stage. So help!”
She continued: “I’m gutted I’m only doing one night but it’s sold out as well so to everybody who’s coming down, drive safe, travel safe and I shall see you all at curtain up at half seven.”
The actress later shared footage of herself as she learned her lines over a pre-show dinner.
Danniella is best known for playing Sam Mitchell in EastEnders and she appeared in 2016’s Celebrity Big Brother.
Days before her hospital dash, she admitted to having blackouts but said she was in two minds over whether to call an ambulance.
In a video recorded from her sickbed, the star asked her army of loyal followers for their help.
Danniella said: “I have come on to get some advice from people because I keep passing out and every now and again I am having seizures.
“I keep getting blackness over this side of my face. I’m sweating hot, burning up but I am freezing cold. And my throat is so bad.
“I can’t get anything to go down. I just keep crying, you know when you are that ill and you just keep crying. I want my mum and I am 49.
“I don’t know what to do if I should ring an ambulance or not. I don’t want to waste people’s time.”
