A spokesperson for Danielle Lloyd has confirmed that police met the model to discuss the 'Celebrity Big Brother' race row.

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.
