Danielle "selfish and devious", says cousin

Danielle has been described as "selfish and devious" by her own cousin.

Suzanne Schofield has claimed that Danielle betrayed her by starting a month-long affair with her live-in lover and is trying to fool the public by acting innocent and sweet.

"Danielle is good at playing the perfect blue-eyed princess. She comes across all coy and shy in the Big Brother house," Suzanne told the Sunday Mirror. "But I know the truth. She preyed on my boyfriend and slept with him behind my back. They were the two people I loved and trusted most. It was the ultimate betrayal. I never want to see her again.

"She's selfish and devious. She was always prepared to do anything it took to succeed. But I wouldn't want her fame if I had to be like her to get it."

Danielle's mother Jackie has denied the accusations: "Obviously, Danielle isn't here to defend herself and our whole family are disgusted. Danielle would be devastated. This is totally untrue."
