Lloyd lands pole dancer movie role

Danielle Lloyd has said that she will play a pole dancer in a forthcoming British movie.

The Celebrity Big Brother contestant claimed the gangster movie was almost ready to start shooting and revealed that she had begun pole-dancing lessons.

"I can't say too much but it's a gangster film and hopefully I'll be playing a dancer," she told the Daily Star.

"I'm reading the script at the moment and it starts shooting soon so it looks like I've definitely got the part. I'm going to work really hard and spend ages learning my lines so I'll be word-perfect."

She continued: "I'm throwing myself into work. Acting is what I want to get into. I'm concentrating on my career and making it my main priority.

"I'm going to take lessons at the London Film Academy, where I've done presenting before."

Lloyd also claimed that she had been approached about a role in an ITV drama in which she would play a "prim and proper" character.
