Danielle Lloyd praises 'sweet' Sophie

Danielle Lloyd has announced that she is backing Sophie Reade to win the new series of Big Brother.

The glamour model, who took part in Celebrity Big Brother in 2007, became friends with 20-year-old Reade after they met on the London clubbing scene and they have since enjoyed a number of nights out together.

Lloyd told the Daily Star: "She is a really sweet girl. She is quite shy like me in some ways, so we got on well. I thought she looked lovely in her dress on launch night, but I hadn't seen her new boobs - they are huge!"

She added: "I look forward to seeing her when she comes out. She just needs to be herself and she will do fine."

Reade decided to pursue a glamour career after turning 18 but reportedly kept her photoshoots away from the eyes of her parents.
