Police meet Lloyd over Celebrity Big Brother
Friday 2 February 2007
The 23-year-old is reported to have spent around three hours with two officers from Hertfordshire Police at the meeting at her solicitor's office in London.
The spokesperson said: "We had a very positive meeting. It was very constructive and we were pleased to have met them. As we have said all along, Danielle will be fully co-operating with them."
The spokesperson added that her client had also "raised her own concerns" about 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
Jo O'Meara, who like Lloyd and Jade Goody was at the centre of the 'Celebrity Big Brother' race row, has claimed her life has been "totally shattered" by the show and that she is scared to go home after receiving death threats.
In a statement the former S Club 7 singer apologised for any hurt she had caused to actress and fellow housemate Shilpa Shetty.
"Am I the first person in the world to make a mistake or say regrettable things? I am devastated, sorry and honestly have no idea what to do next," O'Meara said.
O'Meara was critical in her statement of the makers of the programme, saying that there were "many instances of manipulation" and that they also had to take responsibility for their actions.
"I think that as a group we would all have coped better if some of the surprise stunts hadn't been pulled by 'Big Brother'," she said.
"Jade and her family entering the house late and the introduction of a slave/master culture is bizarre by anyone's standards and automatically creates tension and a divide," she added.
O'Meara continued: "I may have made some mistakes but I have apologised for them and, in the context of the three weeks of 'Big Brother', I honestly believe that I was not a horrible person every day throughout the series."
O'Meara said that she only took part in the show for money and bitterly regretted the decision.
"I have been asked why I did 'Big Brother'. It was simply because I needed the money. I did have a successful singing career in S Club but that was several years ago. I may lose my house and the fee offered was a lifeline which I took," she said.
O'Meara said that she wished Shetty "every success and happiness" following her 'Celebrity Big Brother' win.

- The Real Mr & Mrs Assad: Channel 4 Dispatches
Channel 4 Dispatches reveals a portrait of a golden couple who have become global hate figures. The programme shows intimate footage of President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma as they've never been seen on British television before, and images that help explain why the West bought the idea they were true modernisers. When Bashar took the reins of power after his father's death in 2000, the West was drawn into a hope and belief that Syria would be a new force for change in the Middle East. The Assads were seen as a glamorous couple with modern Western morals and values; he was hailed a reformer, she was the 'Rose of the Desert'. Key leaders and figures in the West welcomed the young couple, convinced that the softly spoken London-trained ophthalmologist and his beautiful British-born former investment banker wife would bring reform and modernisation to a country that had been run by an iron-fisted dictator for nearly 30 years. But it seems the West was duped. Instead of a transparent and progressive leadership, what has emerged during a year-long bloody uprising is evidence of the regime's gross systematic human rights abuses, including widespread killings and torture, while the Assads look on. Channel 4 Dispatches investigates the extent of the Assad family's culpability and the chains of command that link the President and select inner circle to the brutal crackdown.

- Afghanistan: The Great Game - A Personal View By Rory Stewart
Afghanistan: one of the most isolated and barren landscapes on earth is a strange place for an empire or superpower to invade. But for three of the greatest powers the world has seen, it became an unlikely target and an enduring obsession. The 19th century British invasions into Afghanistan, immortalised by Rudyard Kipling as "The Great Game", ended in huge loss of life and British retreat, and set a template for the perils of incursion in this mountainous country. In this two-part series, author, journalist and former Deputy Governor during the coalition's occupation of Iraq, Rory Stewart MP travels to Afghanistan to uncover the fears, the paranoia and perceived threats that led three very different Ssperpowers: Britain, Russia and the United States into Afghanistan from the 19th century to the present day.
