Who is Danielle Lloyd, how old is she and what is her background?

Danielle Lloyd was born December 16, 1983, in Liverpool – making her 35 years old.

Upon finishing school, she decided to pursue a career in modelling and as a beautician.

Danielle was crowned Miss England on July 17, 2004 and competed at Miss World in 2004.

On February 26, 2006, she was named Miss Great Britain 2006, but, on November 2, of the same year, she was stripped of her title.

The reason given on the Miss Great Britain website was: "Following recent claims in the press and magazines and the publicity given on the Playboy website for their next issue.”

On January 11, 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 was asking for full revelation of the sums she earned for the Playboy pictures, plus costs.

Her title was reinstated in 2010.

What happened when Danielle Lloyd appeared on Celebrity Big Brother 5?

On January, 3, 2007 Danielle appeared on Celebrity Big Brother Five on Channel 4.

During her stint on the show she incurred significant negative publicity, as a result of her interactions with rival housemate Shilpa Shetty.

Politicians and government ministers hit out at Danielle, the late Jade Goody, and S Club 7 star Jo O'Meara for their comments - which were criticised and by some, deemed racist.

The storm caused by the series saw Danielle lose six-figure modelling contracts with motorcycle insurance firm Bennetts and urban fashion label Rocawear.
