Danielle Lloyd 'was hit by ex-partner'

Danielle Lloyd has revealed that she was once the victim in a violent relationship with an ex-boyfriend.

The model has made a documentary called Dangerous Love - A Comic Relief Special where she alleges that her partner seemed "lovely" and "generous" before he cut her off from her friends.

Lloyd said: "He'd call me a slag. Soon he started hitting me.

"Every time, he'd cry and say it wouldn't happen again. Towards the end he was hitting me near enough every day.

"It saddens me to read about violent relationships. I'd advise any woman not to return to an abusive partner."

Lloyd added that in her partner's last attack, she was "out cold for three or four minutes...there was blood all over me, all over the bed, all over the walls", and that as a consequence she had to spend a week in hospital.

After splitting from her partner, Lloyd went on to win the Miss England pageant in 2004.

Last month, it emerged that Lloyd was planning to write a tell-all book about her love life.
