DANIELLE LLOYD

Danielle Lloyd (born 16 December 1983) is an English glamour model. The former Miss England 2004 and Miss Great Britain 2006 first rose to prominence when she was stripped of her Miss Great Britain 2006 title after posing for nude pictures featured in the December 2006 edition of Playboy magazine and her alleged affair with one of the pageant's judges, her then-boyfriend, footballer Teddy Sheringham.

As a participant in the 2007 series of Celebrity Big Brother, Lloyd, along with others, were accused of using bullying tactics and making racist comments directed against the Indian actress Shilpa Shetty.


Pageantry and early career:
Lloyd was crowned Miss England on 17 July 2004. and competed at Miss World 2004. On 26 February 2006, Lloyd was named Miss Great Britain 2006. On 2 November 2006, she was stripped of her title "following recent claims in the press and magazines and the publicity given on the Playboy website for their next issue", according to the Miss Great Britain website. The claim they were referring to was that Lloyd had been dating Teddy Sheringham, who was one of the judges of the pageant, for more than two months before her victory. This was reported by the media after she allegedly said in an interview that Sheringham bought her a pair of shoes for Christmas.

Lloyd continues to claim that the relationship started after the pageant, and that the interview was false. She attributes her topless shoot for the December 2006 issue of Playboy as the primary reason for the loss of her title.On 11 January 2007, it was revealed that Lloyd was being sued by the Miss Great Britain company for breaking her contract and bringing the company into disrepute. The company is asking for full revelation of the sums she earned for the Playboy pictures, plus costs.



Lloyd next appeared in FHM magazine and was a finalist of Miss Maxim 2006. She has had her 32AA breasts increased by surgery three times, and is presently a 32DD. During her last operation, when her old implants were replaced with newer, larger ones, taking her from a 32D to a 32DD, surgeons removed a benign lump in her right breast.

Lloyd was worried that it was cancer, but doctors assured her that the lump was harmless. She has revealed that her third operation will be her last, claiming that it is "pointless" going any bigger and that "People say I want to be the new Jordan, but I definitely don't! I want to be myself. I don't mind her boobs but I think they could only suit her."


In 2006, Lloyd made a memorable appearance on BBC One's Test the Nation. When asked "Who was Winston Churchill - a rapper, US President, the PM or King?", Lloyd answered, "Wasn't he the first black president of America? There's a statue of him near me - that's black."


Celebrity Big Brother 2007 :
Lloyd joined Celebrity Big Brother on 3 January 2007, at the start of the series. In her column she stated, "Things I'm looking forward to in the house ...meeting people I'd probably never meet in everyday life, seeing if I can cope with the challenges and letting people at home see me in a different way (I'll be wearing more clothes!!)".


Personal life:
Since the split from Sheringham, Lloyd has been linked with Marcus Bent, Jermain Defoe, and was engaged to DJ Ironik. She is currently dating footballer Jamie O'Hara. On 26 May 2009, Lloyd was pictured lying on the pavement outside a nightclub, bloodied and clearly upset after an alleged unprovoked attack. She reportedly had to have required emergency plastic surgery on a wound on her leg, after she was thrown onto a table full of glasses.
