Danielle hires Jacko's minder - Oct 31 2007
Danielle Lloyd has apparently hired Michael Jackson's bodyguard to protect her from a stalker.

The Celebrity Big Brother contestant has been troubled by a female stalker for months, and now she has turned to Matt Fiddes for protection, The Sun reports.

Matt, 29, has been Jacko's UK minder for the past 10 years, and it seems that fellow CBB contender Jermaine Jackson, who is Michael's brother, recommended him to Danielle.

"She is totally freaked, but Matt is lethal with dealing with trouble," a friend of Danielle's said. "He is a renowned martial arts expert who could - if he wanted - kill with one move."

The 20-something stalker has reportedly followed Danielle, 23, and evaded her other security guards to lay flowers on her doorstep.

Model and former Miss England Danielle saw her public profile rocket after her stint in the Big Brother house.

Dani’s ’fireball horror’ - Oct 23 2007
Danielle Lloyd was apparently left petrified after a photoshoot went wrong.

The 23-year-old was filming her workout DVD when she stepped too close to a hot light which sparked on a strand of her hair extensions.

The model told the Daily Star: "I was just standing by this light and chatting. Then I smelt this awful scent and said, ’Can anyone smell something burning?’.

"Then one of the crew screamed, ’Dan you’re on fire!’. He picked up a towel and wrapped it round my head.

"I still hadn’t clicked what was going on - I didn’t have a clue why this bloke had chucked a towel over my head. I realised what had happened when I smelt smoke coming off the towel. I was absolutely terrified.

"All I knew was my head was on fire and I was petrified it could all go up. I was screaming with terror but there was no time to think - I just had to react.

"The crew pulled me into my dressing room and doused my head with water.

"I was still scared and tearful but everyone reassured me and told me it was going to be okay.

"But thinking back now, I’m still terrified at how close I came to seriously injuring myself.

"Luckily I’ve just lost a bit of hair but I know it could have been so much worse - I could have been permanently scarred. And that could have meant the end of my career."

Dani to star in new flick? - June 29 2007
Danielle Lloyd has reportedly revealed that she is set to star in a new film with Jennifer Ellison.

The model and former Wag will play a landlady opposite Jennifer’s prostitute character in comedy The Be All And End All, reports the Daily Star.

She said: "I’m so excited about it. We start filming in a few months. And I absolutely love Jen.

"We’re old friends, so I can’t wait to work with her."

The feature will also apparently star Liza Tarbuck and John Thomson.

Danielle confessed that she’s hoping to pick up some tips from her Liverpudlian pal - so she can try and crack the US film industry.

She said: "I really want to crack Hollywood. Jen’s done so well. So hopefully all of them will be able to give me some tips to help me make it in the acting world. It’s good that I’m playing a Scouser in my first acting role, because I’ll need some elocution lessons before I can play anything else, which might limit me for a bit.

"But it’s cause for celebration."
