Danielle meets police over race row

Model Danielle Lloyd met police officers to talk about the Celebrity Big Brother race row, her spokeswoman confirmed last night.

The former Miss Great Britain spent around three hours with two officers from Hertfordshire Police at the meeting at her solicitor's office in London.

Her spokeswoman said the interview had been arranged at the model's request and that she had not been questioned under caution.

She 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 meeting was held at the office of Schillings solicitors in Dean Street, London.

Two officers from Hertfordshire Police met the model and her lawyer at 3.30pm and they had a "long chat" for about three hours, the spokeswoman said.

She added that the model had also "raised her own concerns" about the show, which sparked a global race row and led to more than 40,000 complaints from viewers.

Danielle, Jade Goody and Jo O'Meara were accused of racist bullying against Shilpa during their time in the house.

But the model has since denied she is racist and her representatives said earlier this week that they wanted to speak to police about whether she had been misrepresented.

Friends of the former glamour model want to ensure she was not deliberately cast in a bad light by TV bosses and whether the programme was edited to escalate the controversy.

Top media lawyers Schillings were drafted in to look at Channel 4's footage from the last few weeks, culminating in the lengthy meeting with police.
