Know Danielle O'Hara who made racist comments against Shilpa Shetty

Danielle O'Hara is an English glamour model, married to English football player Jamie O'Hara. A former Miss England (2004) and Miss Great Britain (2006), she first rose to prominence when she was stripped of her Miss Great Britain title after posing nude in the December 2006 edition of Playboy magazine and her alleged affair with one of the pageant's judges, her then-boyfriend, footballer Teddy Sheringham. Her title was reinstated in 2010.As a participant in the fifth series of Celebrity Big Brother, Lloyd was accused of using bullying tactics and making racist comments directed against the Indian actress Shilpa Shetty She won the celebrity edition of The Weakest Link in 2008 and Total Wipet in 2010. Danielle married footballer Jamie O'Hara in May 2012.Lloyd garnered significant negative publicity when thousands of complaints were filed with Ofcom after she, Jade Goody, and Jo O'Meara were accused of bullying and making racist remarks towards fellow housemate Shilpa Shetty. Specific comments Lloyd has made about Shetty include "She's a dog" and "They eat with their hands in India, don't they – or is that China? You don't know where her hands have been." In another outburst, Lloyd said "do you get stubble?" On 17 January 2007, Lloyd declared she thought Shetty should "fuck off home", adding that "she can't even speak English properly". After a similar comment by Goody, Lloyd laughed and said to Goody, "That was fucking fantastic, I loved it. I think she should fuck off home."A newspaper interview made before Celebrity Big Brother, from November 2006, revealed Lloyd's anti-immigration views: "If I was (a politician), I'd get more people into work and stop people coming into the country. She said “There are so many people who come into England because they know they can get benefits. People who already live here should get the jobs". It has since become apparent that Lloyd was warned against racist behaviour prior to going into the house, via an email sent to her by Angela de Fouw, who was her agent at the time. Lloyd apologised to Shetty during the Celebrity Big Brother house.The racist behaviour gained heavy coverage in the Indian media. Gordon Brown – then the British Chancellor of the Exchequer – who was visiting India at the time, condemned the programme on the grounds that he is against anything which might damage the perception that the United Kingdom is a country of tolerance. In a statement on 17 January, Channel 4 defended the programme against charges "of overt racism or racial abuse". However, Trevor Phillips, head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said "What we are seeing is a noxious brew of old-fashioned class conflict, straightforward bullying, ignorance and quite vicious racial bigotry". He doubted events on Celebrity Big Brother were part of a broader problem.Lloyd eventually came fifth in the contest, with 3.3% of the vote for her to win the series. Shetty won the competition with 63% of the final vote. As a result of her behaviour on the show, Lloyd lost six-figure modelling contracts with a motorcycle insurance firm
