'''Torrie Wilson''' (born July 24, 1975) is a retired American professional [[wrestler]], [[fitness]] [[competitor]] and [[model]]. She is best known for her tenures in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where she worked on both their SmackDown and Raw brands through out her eight year run.

As a fitness competitor, Wilson won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1998. Shortly after, she was signed by World Championship Wrestling, where she stayed from 1999 until 2001. In 2001, she began appearing on World Wrestling Federation (WWF) television as part of The Invasion storyline. Her most high profile storyline took place in 2003 when she feuded with Dawn Marie. Wilson has also been a part of the all-female stable, or group of affiliated wrestlers, known as Vince's Devils, which ended its run in 2006.

Aside from wrestling, Wilson has been on the cover of several magazines, including FHM and Playboy, which she posed for twice.

== Early Life ==
Wilson was born in Boise, Idaho. She claims that while growing up she was painfully shy as a child. Wilson found her niche in many school activities, including cheerleading, dance, and was very competitive in track and field.

During her sophomore year of high school, after Wilson's interest in modeling grew more serious, her mother urged her to pursue it. They visited an agency and were informed that Wilson would have to lose weight to be considered for jobs.[4] In the process of losing weight, she began a bout with anorexia nervosa and then bulimia that lasted from ages 14-to-20.

After recovering from the disorder, Wilson became involved in fitness. She began eating six meals a day and working out. She placed third in her first competition, and she later won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1998. She then spent some time on the Extreme Fitness Team. As part of the Women's Tri-Fitness Championships in 1998, Wilson won first place in the Grace and Physique round.

Later in 1998, Wilson moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.She began acting classes and was introduced to an agent who helped her gain a few jobs.

== Personal Life ==
Wilson admits not having watched wrestling when she was younger, but says that since becoming involved in the industry, she has become a fan of Hulk Hogan.

While working for WWE, Wilson was on the road for up to 300 days per year. She has a Maltese named Chloe, who traveled with her. While on the road, Wilson worked out at least four days a week. Usually, her workout consisted of an hour of cardiovascular workouts and a half-hour of lifting weights.

Wilson also has a close friendship with Stacy Keibler. At one point, they were roommates in Los Angeles, California.

After being together for four years, Wilson married Peter Gruner (known on-screen as Billy Kidman) on July 11, 2003. They lived together in Tampa, Florida, when not traveling. The couple were officially divorced in 2007.

In September 2007, Wilson opened her official clothing line "Officially Jaded", alongside Nick Mitchell, a former WWE wrestler who was known as "Mitch" of the Spirit Squad. The couple began dating in mid-2006. She opened a store in The Woodlands, Texas, at the upscale Market Street district. On September 14, 2008, Torrie made an appearance at the inaugural Wrestler's Rescue event held in Piscataway, New Jersey, an event to create awareness and to help raise money to support the health care needs of retired professional wrestlers.

Aside from Playboy, Wilson has also graced the cover of several other magazines, including the September 2006 cover of FHM magazine.

Wilson was also number forty-three on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World list in 2007. She has also been on AskMen.com's list of the Most Desirable Women in the World twice: she was number twenty-two in 2006 and number sixty-five in 2007.

Wilson, along with several other Divas, filmed Timbaland's music video "Throw It On Me" in April 2007.[48] Also in 2007, Wilson made a special appearance, along with Mick Foley, at the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai. She appeared on the February 6, 2008 episode of Project Runway where the contestants designed wrestling attire for several of the Divas.

In April 2009, Wilson signed on to appear in the NBC reality show, I'm a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here!, which premiered in June. On the show's season finale, Wilson was named the runner-up to winner Lou Diamond Phillips.

'''Rebecca Loos''' (born on June 19, 1977 in Madrid, [[Spain]]) is a glamour model who was personal assistant to [[English]] football soccer player David Beckham. She is primarily known to the public because she allegedly conducted an affair with the married Beckham.
==Biography==
===Personal life===
Loos was born in Madrid, Spain, the daughter of a Dutch diplomat and a mother of English descent. Growing up, she was privately educated. After moving back to Madrid in 2002, Loos worked for an American investment bank, looking after bankers.

When former England football soccer captain David Beckham moved to Real Madrid, Loos became his personal assistant during the transition period, alongside SFX agent and former Australian international Andy Bernal, who spoke Spanish fluently.

Beckham and Loos worked closely together both professionally and socially<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/news/soccer/life-in-the-very-fast-lane-with-beckhams-buddies/2007/02/10/1170524347471.html Life in the very fast lane with Beckham's buddies] The Age, February 11, 2007</ref> and Loos claimed that she became an "alternative wife". [[Victoria Beckham]] was not initially happy in Madrid, and wanted to develop her UK music career, so she spent much of her time in England. Loos claimed this resulted in Beckham becoming bored, leading them to spend almost all their time together socially, and a four month affair was the alleged result. <ref> affair [http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/news/page.cfm?objectid=14136861&method=full&siteid=106694 Me & Beckham, by Rebecca Loos], ''Sunday Mirror'', April 11, 2004</ref>.

Loos sold her story to the ''News of the World'' tabloid newspaper in April 2004, claiming that they had had a whirlwind affair that included text messages of a sexual nature. The story generated a huge amount of publicity in the tabloid press, launching Loos's career in the public eye.

Shortly after the newspaper coverage of her relationship with David Beckham, Loos came out publicly as bisexual, saying "I am indeed bisexual and have been ever since I was a teenager"<ref>[http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,6903,1212302,00.html When Hello means Bi for now] ''The Observer, May 9, 2004''</ref>. In 1999 while in London, she had a series of lesbian lovers, including media personality and glamour model [[Abi Titmuss]] and estate agent and TV presenter [[Emma Basden]] with whom she would enjoy a long term relationship. Loos boasts about her sexual prowess, especially her ability to "turn" heterosexual females into lesbians <ref>[http://www.clublez.com/movies/lesbian_celebrities/l/loos_rebecca/index.html press exerpts], clublez.com </ref>.

In the period before ''Celebrity Love Island'', Loos had her breasts enlarged from 34C to 34D.

In 2005, to protest against America's laws on gay marriage, Loos "married" American fashion model [[Jenny Shimizu]] for the TV program ''Power Lesbian UK'' [http://www.divamag.co.uk/diva/features.asp?AID=287]. It was broadcast in the USA as ''Power Lesbians'' on LOGO which profiled successful lesbians in Los Angeles. The two shared a relationship for a period afterwards.

As of 2007 she is currently dating 'Celebrity Treasure Island' host and former New Zealand rugby league player Matthew Ridge <ref>[http://www.stuff.co.nz/3958389a1860.html LooMatt's moment to treasure] Sunday Star Times, February 11, 2007</ref>.

===Career===
In 2004, Loos briefly presented ''Shownieuws'' on Dutch television together with former Eurovision Song Contest singer Gerard Joling who represented the Netherlands in 1988. Her appearance was short-lived, partly due to the strength of her English accent when speaking Dutch. Loos failed to attract the ratings producers had hoped for and was dropped from the show. She has since posed nude for a pictorial in the Dutch edition of [[Playboy]], with further appearances in lad mags Nuts, Zoo and FHM and other magazines.

In October 2004, she appeared on the reality television programme ''The Farm'', a Channel 5 version of the RTE show ''Celebrity Farm''. At one point Loos was famously given the task of masturbating a pig to collect its semen. The broadcast of this provoked controversy and attracted complaints. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals weighed in on the controversy, criticising the show's producers for "morbid and sordid fascination with farm animals".

The incident generated tabloid headlines once again for Loos. It was also viewed by some commentators as an apt example of the depths to which Z-list celebrities would plumb for public exposure, and the lengths to which the producers of reality television would go to in order to satisfy the interests of viewers.

In 2005, Loos appeared on the ITV reality show ''Celebrity Love Island'', where she sparked up a relationship with the model Calum Best. Their relationship managed to cause a stir in the British tabloids when the pair discarded their microphones and disappeared in the resort's toilets together for fifteen minutes<ref>[http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/050602/344/fkbm0.html Rebecca and Callum's toilet antics] Yahoo! Entertainment News, June 2, 2005</ref>. In 2006 she played for the England Women's football team in a Sky TV charity event.

During an interview with British newspaper ''News of the World'' in December 2006 Loos revealed she is currently filming a reality TV show in which she teaches "lotto lout" Michael Carroll the art of seduction and good manners, named 'Teaching Mike'.

Loos is currently one of the contestants of the new season of the Spanish version of ''Survivor''.

*During ''Extreme Celebrity Detox'', while performing the Tao ritual session for ''sexual energy'', Loos squeezed an egg-shaped object between her legs - then lifted a bottle of water that was attached to the egg by a piece of string. When asked how she found trying to get in touch with her sexuality live on TV, she responded: "''I was curious and because we never knew what was coming next, that added to the excitement. But there are some things that should be done in private.''"
*During ''The X Factor'', Sharon Osbourne publicly humiliated her after one of her performances saying, "''You should try doing tomorrow's performance with your knickers on, because it will help warm up your voice... You have a very bad vibe that comes from you....you have nice boobs, though, you've had a very nice boob job.''"
* In April 2006, Loos ran in the London Flora Marathon, and raised over £7000 in sponsorship for the British Red Cross.

'''Danielle Lloyd''' (born 16 December [[1983]], Liverpool) is a prominent [[British]] [[fashion]] and [[glamour model]]. The former Miss England 2004 and Miss Great Britain 2006,<ref>{{cite news | url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/4067511.stm | title=Danielle's Miss World hope dies | publisher=BBC News | accessdate=2006-05-15 |date=2004-12-04}}</ref> who came to national promenance during her part in the 2007 Celebrity Big Brother race row.

==Background==
Lloyd 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 tabloid-alleged affair with one of the judges, her footballer boyfriend at that time Teddy Sheringham.

As a participant in the 2007 series of ''Celebrity Big Brother'', Lloyd, along with others, was accused of using bullying tactics and making racist comments directed against the [[Indian]] [[actress]] [[Shilpa Shetty]].<ref>[http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/jade1.shtml News Of the World - Online Edition]{{dead link}}</ref>

==Biography==
Lloyd was born in Penny Lane, Liverpool in 1983, the daughter of Jackie and Arthur Lloyd, a bank manager and engineer respectively. At the age of 3 months, Lloyd contracted whooping cough, resulting in damage to her lungs, this leading to her developing asthma.

She attended Haileybury school from 1995.
At the age of 16 Lloyd began modeling, frequently entering competitions in and around Liverpool. Upon finishing school, she decided to pursue a dual career in modeling and as a beautician specializing in massage. She is a qualified nail technician.

Just as she was beginning her modeling career, Lloyd was brutally attacked by her boyfriend of the time. She was dragged from her moving car after an argument with him, suffering terrible abrasions and severe bruising to her body and losing most of her hair. Lloyd later said of the attack:

: ''“Deep down you can’t forget what’s happened no matter how much counseling you have. You blame yourself and tell yourself you deserve it – I was given help when I most needed it and I want to be able to help others now. Too many women (1 in 4) suffer domestic violence at some time and support centres such as Women’s Aid aren’t able to answer all of the calls due to being under resourced. I'll always do all that I can to help raise awareness and help people. Being in a violent relationship, you are constantly living in fear – and that’s no way for anyone to live their life."''<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.celebrityspotlight.co.uk/ShowBiographies.asp?CelebrityBiography=f3708f1f&celebrity=Danielle_Lloyd | title=Danielle Lloyd Profile}}</ref>

Lloyd claims she was bullied in school however the headmaster of one of Lloyd's old school, St Hilda’s, Chris Yates said: ''"There's no recollection of her ever being persecuted, she is lying and no teacher can ever recall any incidents where Danielle was bullied. In fact I’ve been lead to believe by her former friends that the opposite is true."''<ref>[http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news_detail.html?sku=1095 Daily Star: Simply The Best 7 Days A Week :: News]</ref>

==Pageantry and Early Career==
Lloyd was crowned Miss England on 17 July 2004<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.missengland.info/portfolio_danielle_lloyd.html | title= Miss England Danielle Lloyd Portfolio| access date=2007-04-14 |}}</ref> and competed at Miss World 2004.

On 26 February 2006, Lloyd was named Miss Great Britain 2006.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.missgreatbritain.co.uk/ | title= Miss Great Britain | access date=2006-05-15 |date=2006-02-27}}</ref>.

On November 2, 2006, she was stripped of her title "following recent claims in the press and magazines and the publicity given on the [[Playboy]] Web site for their next issue", according to the Miss Great Britain website.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.miss-gb.co.uk/newsitem.asp?newsID=5 | title=Danielle Dropped!}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20693891-2,00.html | title=Miss Great Britain stripped of title}}</ref> Lloyd continues to claim that the relationship started after the pageant, and that the interview was made up. 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.<ref>http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,11049-2007010601,00.html</ref> She has since been cleared of any wrongdoing.

Lloyd next appeared in FHM magazine was a finalist of Miss Maxim 2006. She was declared the winner of a "UK Best Breasts" 2006 contest. 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." <ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celeb_news/SEE_VIDEO_Danielle_Lloyd_to_lose_breast_implant_article_117773.html | title=Danielle Lloyd to lose breast implant | publisher=Now Magazine | access date=2007-04-24 |date=2007-04-29}}</ref>

Lloyd made a memorable appearance on BBC One's Test the Nation. When asked "Who was Winston Churchill - a rapper, US President, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom or King?", Lloyd answered "Wasn't he the first black president of America? There's a statue of him near me - that's black."<ref>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/5311732.stm | title=Quotes of the week | publisher=BBC News | access date=2006-09-06 |date=2006-09-04}}</ref>

Prior to her Big Brother stint, Lloyd wrote a column for [http://www.celebrityspotlight.co.uk celebrity spotlight.co.uk].

==Celebrity Big Brother 5==
Lloyd joined Celebrity Big Brother UK on January 3, 2007, at the start of the series. She said in her column that, ironically: ''"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!!)"''<ref>[http://www.celebrityspotlight.co.uk/dani020107.asp Danielle Lloyd's Gossip! | Celebrity spotlight | Danielle Lloyd's Column]</ref>

Lloyd was the second housemate to enter the Big Brother House,<ref>[http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,11049-2007000356_2,00.html The Sun: Last updates from the Celebrity Big Brother House]</ref> and had amongst her possessions a blue teddy bear doused in Sheringham's aftershave.

===Racism Row===
Lloyd garnered significant negative publicity when thousands of complaints were filed with Ofcom after she, Jade Goody and Jo O'Meara, were bullying and claims of the three were making racist remarks towards their fellow house mate, Bollywood star [[Shilpa Shetty]].

Specific comments Lloyd has made about Shetty include ''"She's a dog"'' and ''"They eat with their hands in India, don't they – or is that China? You don't know where her hands have been."''<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6265127.stm|title=Anger over Big Brother 'racism'|date=2007-01-16|accessdate=2007-01-17|publisher=BBC News}}</ref><ref name=c4ra>{{cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/news/content/news-storypage.jsp?id=6963256 |title=Big Brother: Thousands complain |publisher=Channel 4 news |date=2007-01-16|accessdate=2007-01-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/bigbrother.html?in_article_id=429106&in_page_id=1894|title=25,000 complain over the 'racists' of Big Brother |publisher=Daily Mail |date=2007-01-17|accessdate=2007-01-18}}</ref>. In another outburst, Lloyd said "do you get stubble?"''<ref>[http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=88442007 Edinburgh Evening News]</ref>

On 17 January, 2007 Lloyd famously declared she thought Shetty should "fuck off home", adding that "she can't even speak English properly".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6274881.stm|title=Big Brother sponsor suspends deal |publisher=BBC News |date=2007-01-18|accessdate=2007-01-18}}</ref> Also, after a similar comment by Goody, Lloyd laughed and said to Goody: ''"'That was fucking fantastic, I loved it' I think she should fuck off home."''<ref>[http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,,1993135,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed Celebrity Big Brother's Shilpa Shetty complains of racism | Media | MediaGuardian]</ref> When confronted by Big Brother in the Diary Room about why she made the comment, Lloyd said: ''"I don't know"'' and claimed she didn't recall saying it. She admitted that she must have said it for Big Brother to have asked her about it and added that it could be taken in a ''"bad"'' way. She concluded that she would talk to Shilpa to make sure she didn't feel excluded in the house, which she did the following morning.

A newspaper interview made before ''Celebrity Big Brother'', from November 2006, revealed Lloyd's anti-immigration views: "If I was (a politician), I'd get more people into work and stop people coming into the country. There's so many people who come into England because they know they can get benefits. People who already live here should get the jobs".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.independent.co.uk/people/profiles/article1963221.ece|title=The 5-Minute Interview: Danielle Lloyd, model|publisher=Independent newspaper, UK|date=2006-11-11|accessdate=2006-11-11}}</ref> It has since become apparent that Lloyd was warned against racist behaviour prior to going into the house, in an email sent to her by her agent at the time, Angela de Fouw. <ref>[http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-13564012,00.html Sky News "Dani's Racism Warning"]</ref>

===Reaction===
The alleged racist behaviour created an international outcry, gaining heavy coverage in the Indian media. Gordon Brown - then the British Chancellor of the Exchequer - who was incidentally visiting India at the time, condemned the programme on the grounds that he is against anything which might damage the perception that the United Kingdom is a country of tolerance.<ref>[http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,,1992450,00.html "Big Brother row goes global"], ''The Guardian'', January 17 2007.</ref> In a statement on January 17 Channel 4 defended the programme against charges "of overt racism or racial abuse".<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6272585.stm BBC News] - ''Channel 4 denies Brother 'racism' ''</ref>

However, Trevor Phillips, head of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, said "What we are seeing is a noxious brew of old-fashioned class conflict, straightforward bullying, ignorance and quite vicious racial bigotry,". He doubted events on ''Celebrity Big Brother'' were part of a broader problem<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/bigbrother.html?in_article_id=429974&in_page_id=1894 Race equality chief: Shilpa comments were racist]</ref>

Whilst still in the Big Brother show and prior to either of their evictions, Shetty herself commented on Lloyd's behaviour, saying: ''"I let Danielle off because she is so young. They (Jade and Jo) made her look bad. You know what really balances it out for Danielle? Her stupidity. She's so innocent."'' Shetty has largely retained this stance in further discussion and interviews. <ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news?id=27248 Celebrity Big Brother Danielle's Family 'Destroyed' By Race Row - Entertainment News, Movie Reviews, Competitions - Entertainmentwise]</ref>

Lloyd's family were reported to be devastated by events. Lloyd's mother said in the News of the World that her family has been "destroyed" by the racist row: ''"Danielle is at the start of her career and facing ruin because of a TV show that she thought was going to be entertaining and fun. Everything's been taken away from her as well. It has destroyed the family. I'm regretting she went in. Danielle has got a lot of questions to answer when she gets out."'' She denied her daughter was a racist, claiming: ''"She will be distraught but she's got to take responsibility. She's been stupid and naive and she's guilty of that (but) I know she didn't mean any racial connotations when she told Shilpa to go home. Danielle's been brought up amongst family friends of all different races. I swear she isn't racist."''<ref name=autogenerated1 /> Furthermore, Lloyd's aunt directly accused her of racism, adding ''"It was disgusting the way Danielle treated Shilpa. I'm surprised Big Brother didn't throw her out of the house."''''<ref>[http://www.24dash.com/showbiz_slapdash/15620.htm Fatal Error]</ref>

===Aftermath: Loss of contracts and Sherringham===
As a result of her behaviour on the show, Lloyd lost six-figure modelling contracts with motorcycle insurance firm Bennetts,<ref>[http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,3-2006590409,00.html Danielle is torque of the town | The Sun |HomePage|Sport]</ref> urban fashion label Rocawear;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2007030016,00.html|title=Phone company ditches CBB|publisher=The Sun, UK|date=2007-01-18|accessdate=2007-01-18}}</ref><ref>{{cite web

In the immediate aftermath to Lloyd's comments to Shetty, several tabloids reported that her then boyfriend, Teddy Sheringham, ended his relationship with her: the reasons for doing so including his own sense of disgust at her actions on the programme; the fact that he then played in a team (West Ham United) that is made up of over 50% non-white players; and because of his concern for the safety of his own off-field commercial activities and reputation. <ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/jade_dani_ditched.shtml | title=Bully Dani is ditched by Teddy | publisher=News of the World | accessdate=2007-01-21 |date=2007-01-21}}</ref>

===Eviction===

Lloyd eventually came fifth in the contest, with 3.3% of the vote to save her.<ref>[http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/B/bb7_celebrity/news/newsstory.jsp?id=1453&housemateId=5 Big Brother 8 Vote]</ref>

During her post-eviction interview with Davina McCall she said ''"I feel terrible"'' and insisted her comments had nothing to do with Shetty's race, but rather a simple personality/ culture clash. Lloyd apologised for her behaviour towards the Bollywood star, insisting her remarks had been made ''"in the heat of the moment. I wasn't laughing at Shilpa... it was just nerves. I hate confrontation."'' Asked what she had learned on the show, she said: ''"Not to be such a bitch."''<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6308443.stm BBC News "Lloyd apologises for race row"]</ref> Davina then replied, in a telling off kind of manner 'Good'. She then appeared on the following morning's This Morning programme to defend herself.

Danielle largely defended her behaviour in Celebrity Big Brother, claiming she "didn't do anything wrong". In an interview with Katie Price and Peter Andre on their Unleashed programme for ITV2, Lloyd insisted she had merely acted like a "silly, bitchy girl, like all girls can be bitchy". Lloyd played down the trio's behaviour, saying: "I think that maybe they came out and apologised for things that they didn’t really do. Whereas I felt like I didn’t really do anything wrong in the house. I was probably being a silly, bitchy girl in the house, like all girls can be bitchy."

==Post Big Brother Career==

In May 2007, Lloyd attended [[Shilpa Shetty]]'s movie premiere at Leicester Square. The movie, ''Life In A... Metro'' was the first Bollywood movie Lloyd has seen.<ref>"[http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/article-23395530-details/Danielle+and+Shilpa+'kiss+and+make+up'+at+premiere/article.do Shilpa at Metro's Premiere in London]", ''Thisislondon.co''.

URL last accessed 2007-05-15</ref>. Jade Goody was also scheduled to attend the premiere, but her invitation was pulled at the last minute.

Lloyd has recently been appearing on numerous covers of The Daily Star newspaper (initially at a rate of at least three to four times a week) after signing an exclusive deal with the publication. She has also graced the cover of Maxim and Loaded magazine and has secured contracts as the face of Ladbrokes Poker and Television X<ref>"[http://www.kewego.com/video/iLyROoaftd9i.html Video of Danielle Lloyd Photo Shoot for Maxim]"</ref>

Having limited her career damage from CBB5, Lloyd has continued her non-modelling career as a highly successful professional "celebrity for hire." Since her departure from Celebrity Big Brother, Lloyd has made various promotional appearances. On 13 April, Lloyd flew to Dublin with ''Coronation Street'' actor Ryan Thomas to open a nightclub in the suburb of Rathfarnham, supposedly at a fee of 6,000 euros for the short appearance. <ref>[http://www.rathfarnham.com/local%20news.html Rathfarnham Community Website]</ref>

Lloyd recently launched a mobile phone safety campaign after her own mobile was stolen in a Liverpool club. The "Keep It Safe & Secure" campaign, backed by the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit encourages mobile users to take greater safety precautions when using their phone.<ref>[http://www.24dash.com/communities/24614.htm]</ref>

Lloyd has reputedly signed a publishing deal to write a book documenting her experiences in the Celebrity Big Brother house. She will shortly make her film debut with a role in a new independent [[British]] film ''The Be All And End All''.

She has also had numerous television appearances over 2007-8, seen as a guest-star on ITV]'s ''WAGs Boutique,'' participating in a Glamour Models Special of The Weakest Link, winning £8,950 for charity. Lloyd was featured on MTV Cribs in May 2008.

She currently has a fitness DVD out: "Keep Fit, Look Fit." She confessed to hiring a nutritionist to help her to lose weight. In just 12 months since leaving the Big Brother house, she was reported to have gained nearly 30lbs.

Lloyd makes a cameo appearance in Skepta's official Rolex Sweep video.

==Personal Life==

Lloyd dated footballer Teddy Sheringham from March 2006 to February 2007. Reports suggested Sheringham terminated the relationship due to her behaviour on Celebrity Big Brother 2007. However, Lloyd claims he was in contact with her on the night of her eviction. Indeed, they initially reunited upon her return from a post-eviction holiday, though the relationship officially ended February 15th 2007, with Danielle conceding that it didn't feel the same anymore.

Following the split from Sheringham, Lloyd has been linked with a string of footballers including Marcus Bent, Armand Traoré, Jermaine Defoe and former Manchester United defender Gerard Piqué, as well as[50 Cent and Big Brother 8 contestant Liam.

She is currently thought to be dating Gladiator star Tornado (aka Royal Marine David McIntosh.) <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article1210079.ece|title=Danielle blown away by Tornado|publisher=The Sun|date=2008-05-27|accessdate=2008-05-27}}</ref>
