Glamour model Danielle Lloyd who sprang to infamy in the Celebrity Big Brother House when she was embroiled in the race row is now in hiding in Swindon.

Miss Lloyd has employed Swindon martial arts expert Matt Fiddes, who is a friend of fellow Big Brother housemate Jermaine Jackson, to protect her from a woman stalker.

Mr Fiddes said: "I have known Danielle for a while because I met her through Jermaine. She was having trouble so Jermaine called me and asked if could help her out.

"She has got this nutcase stalkiing her werever she goes and can't even go out at the moment and it just so happens that we're in Swindon at the moment."
