Lloyd defends Big Brother behaviour

Danielle Lloyd has defended her behaviour in this year's Celebrity Big Brother, claiming she "didn't do anything wrong".

In an interview with Katie Price and Peter Andre on Katie & Peter: Unleashed, the model insisted she had merely acted like a "silly, bitchy girl, like all girls can be bitchy".

Lloyd was at the centre of a media furore in January when she and fellow contestants Jade Goody and Jo O'Meara were accused of racist bullying towards Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.

Price told her: "Last year, you were in the explosive Big Brother house. It was a racist programme and we saw it all." She added that Lloyd seemed to have escaped the incident unscathed and continued her career, while Goody and O'Meara had "never really been forgiven".

However, Lloyd played down the trio's behaviour, saying: "I think that maybe they came out and apologised for things that they didn’t really do. Whereas I felt like I didn’t really do anything wrong in the house. I was probably being a silly, bitchy girl in the house, like all girls can be bitchy."

She also revealed that she had split from footballer Teddy Sheringham because of the negative publicity surrounding the show, telling Jordan: "I think the whole pressure of what went on in the house [got to him] and obviously he has people looking after him and management telling him what to do and you can’t be seen to be involved with anything."

She added: "I respect his decision not to see me anymore."
