Danielle Lloyd has left Britain today to get away from the controversy surrounding her time in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The former Miss Great Britain has admitted that she needs "time away" to reflect on recent events and to give boyfriend Teddy Sheringham space.

"I just want to get away from all this mess, clear my head and come back and start all over again," Danielle told the Daily Star last night. "I have not been dumped by Teddy but we have both agreed that we need to spend time apart.

"It's not fair for Ted to have to cope with all the stuff that's surrounding me. I hate myself for causing him all this upset."
