DANIELLE Lloyd was warned “don’t be racist” by her agent before Celebrity Big Brother.
Thousands of viewers have complained about the treatment of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty by Danielle, 23 — lover of soccer star Teddy Sheringham — and Jade Goody. The pair told Shilpa to “f*** off home” and have “a day in the slums”.
Ex-Miss England Danielle — who last night lost a six-figure modelling contract over the row — also backed Jade when she hurled a tirade of insults at Shilpa.
She said: “That was f***ing fantastic. I think she should f*** off home.”
But before she went on the show her agent Angela de Fouw sent her an email listing “Do’s and Don’ts”. Part of it read:
DO’S:
1. Be yourself - natural, down to earth, if you’ve got something to say, say it to someone’s face.
2. Join in when asked to do tasks, get your hands dirty (not literally!). Show you’re game for a laugh.
3. Introduce yourself when you go in, Hi, I’m Danielle Lloyd, you may know me from the beauty pageant world etc.... Some may not know who you are.
4. Be interested in others. Show you want to find out about them. But do it naturally, of course.
5. It mustn’t seem forced or artificial but try to include a comment about something that’s newsworthy each day. Those comments might make the papers.
6. Be kind. For example, if someone’s being bullied and you don’t agree, stick up for him or her. Be a mate!
7. Remember how I’m A Celeb changed people’s perception of Jordan.
DON’TS:
1. Don’t whisper - your mic will pick it up. If your face is on screen, TV crew will lipread. If you think you’ll regret saying/doing something, don’t say/do it.
2. Don’t get stuck with the glamour girls (if there are any), they’ll encourage you to be bitchy maybe. Show there’s much more to you than a face and body.
3. Don’t be racist — show you’re bigger than that. If you have a strong opinion about something give your reasons for it.
4. Don’t put yourself in situations where it looks like you’re flirting with men. That links in with your morals.
5. Don’t talk about Teddy all the time, people will get bored.
6. Don’t do anything that could be seen as “cheating”. Press will be looking for something like that. Refer to your website but don’t say name — they’ll find it.
7. Try not to have a cob on or, if you are grumpy, say why, e.g. I’m bloody tired, hungry etc.
