Life Story

Lloyd was born in Penny Lane, Liverpool to a middle class family. Throughout her school years, Lloyd claims to have been bullied quite a bit. At 16, she began to model around the Liverpool area and by the time she graduated high school, she decided to pursue a modelling career along with beauty school. She also was an avid contestant of beauty contests. In 2004, Lloyd was crowned Miss England, which allowed her to compete in the Miss World competition. Though she didn't win, her pageant career was on the rise. In February of 2006, Lloyd was crowned Miss Great Britain. She held the crown for almost 9 months, before she was stripped of it for posing in Playboy. There is also a level of controversy surrounding whether or not her win in the Miss Great Britain Pageant was fair. It is rumored that she had been dating one of the judges, Teddy Sheringham for several months before the competition.

Losing the crown only made Lloyd even more popular in the UK, and her days of controversy were far from over. Doing what any controversial celebrity would do, Lloyd joined the cast of Celebrity Big Brother in early 2007. On the show, Lloyd made racist comments towards an Indian actress several times. These comments damaged Lloyd's career, and she lost modelling contracts with several companies, including Rocawear. Following her Big Brother debacle, Lloyd proved her intelligence and will for herself to become a better person. Despite claiming Winston Churchill as the first black president of the United States on "Test the Nation, she managed to win a Celebrity Edition of "The Weakest Link". Lloyd has been making great strides to win back positive views by the rest of the world. She has made numerous contributions and has been involved with many charity events, proving that she can be a great person that we all expect ourselves to be.
