Danielle: “That sex tape has ruined our happiness”

After intimate pictures and an X-rated video were leaked online, humiliated Danielle Lloyd sparks pregnancy rumours

She’s endured S a week of mixed emotions, as shortly after a sex tape and intimate images of Danielle Lloyd were leaked online, pictures were published of the mum of four with what appeared to be a small bump, sparking a flurry of rumours that she was pregnant.

Responding to the footage, some of which featured her fiancé Michael O’neill – dad to her nine-month-old son Ronnie – Danielle, 34, wrote on Twitter, “Yes my icloud has again been hacked by some scumbag this is now in the hands of my lawyers again! I won’t be made to feel embarrassed but thankful the website has been taken down already. Anyone finding this funny well shame on you! your personal stuff should be safe @Apple.”

VIOLATED

However, despite putting on a brave face, insiders reveal the former glamour model has been in tears over the intrusion into her privacy.

A source says, “Danielle is devastated. Her glamourmodelling days are well behind her and, as a mother, this is the last thing she’d want out there. It’s violating, plus she feels like everyone is laughing at her. She’s also scared that more personal footage could leak and she can’t relax. She’s finding this tough, but is putting on a brave face.”

Two days after the leak, photos of Danielle appearing to cradle her rounded stomach while on holiday with Michael in Miami were published. Prior to the leak, she had been pictured leaving a shop with a pregnancy test kit in hand.

Fans were quick to speculate online. One wrote, “That’s got ‘I’m pregnant’ written all over it”, while another added, “Of course she is pregnant again… publicity must have been waning”, and one user commented, “Is she having another? That looks like a proper baby bump.”

BABY JOY

The source says, “Danielle has been trying for a baby. She’s in a total bubble right now and says having another child with Michael would bring them so much joy, especially if it’s a girl. Some of her friends wouldn’t be surprised if she was expecting.”

In January, Danielle told Closer that she’d consider gender selection to have a longed-for girl, saying, “I wouldn’t give up my four healthy boys for the world, but I’ve been desperate to have a girl for so long – it’s my dream and I’m not going to give up. Hopefully, it will happen by the end of the year.”

A representative for Danielle declined to comment on the rumours. It’s not the first time Danielle has fallen victim to hackers. In August last year – while pregnant with fourth son Ronnie – the star’s icloud account was hacked and nude photographs and videos of her were leaked online.

Shortly after the incident, TOWIE star Chloe Sims made a veiled dig at Danielle, saying, “But who makes videos like that anyway? Celebs always get caught out so I don’t understand why they risk it.”

And in 2015, Danielle’s ex-boyfriend, property salesman Tom Jimson, reportedly attempted to sell a sex tape of her after their split.

To add to her agony, trolls last week claimed Danielle – who also has sons Archie, seven, Harry, six, and George, three, with footballer ex Jamie O’hara – had leaked the images herself, with one posting, “Think #Daniellelloyd put these videos out there herself she’s so fame hungry. If she was hacked the 1st time why would you have that stuff on your phone again.” Danielle’s arch nemesis, former TOWIE star Maria Fowler, also joined in by taunting her over one of the images leaked.

CRUEL COMMENTS

Friends say that the cruel comments have overshadowed what should be a happy time for Danielle.

The source adds, “She’s absolutely loved up with Michael and counts herself lucky to have such a wonderful family unit with him and the boys. Everything would be perfect if it wasn’t for that phone hack. She’s told friends it’s ruined what should be such a happy time for her.”
