Lloyd accepts damages over rapper sex claim - Nov 16 2007
Danielle Lloyd has accepted substantial undisclosed damages over a claim that she had sex with rapper 50 Cent while going out with footballer Marcus Bent.

The 23-year-old former Miss Great Britain and Celebrity Big Brother contestant was at London's High Court for the settlement of her action against the Daily Mirror.

Her solicitor-advocate, Magnus Boyd, told Mr Justice Eady that, in July, it published a story with the headline, "Fiddy's no diddy, Danielle looking wobbly after a big night in with 50 Cent".

It alleged that Danielle had sexually propositioned 50 Cent and, on another occasion, propositioned singer Jason Orange.

It also claimed she'd sex with 50 Cent whilst going out with Wigan Athletic star Bent.

Mr Boyd said: "The allegations were false. Danielle Lloyd did not proposition 50 Cent or Jason Orange, sexually or otherwise, nor did she have sex with 50 Cent and nor was she going out with, and therefore unfaithful to, Marcus Bent."

Mr Boyd said that MGN Limited now accepted that the hurtful article, which caused Danielle distress and embarrassment, was untrue.

He added that the newspaper never sought to defend the truth of the allegations, accepted that it was wrong to publish the story and published an apology the same month.

It had also agreed to pay substantial damages and her legal costs.

Afterwards, Danielle would not reveal the amount of the damages.

She said she was "devastated by the disgusting lies" which had been published.

She added: "I am glad The Daily Mirror has now admitted they published lies about me and I hope their admission and today's statement in court will go some way to restoring my reputation."


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.
