* So, what projects are you currently working on, Danielle?

Danielle Lloyd: I am busy each week with photoshoots for The Daily star and OK Magazine. I have also done some public appearances in Ireland. Plus I've just been offered a part in a film for 2008 which will be good fun.

* What would you accredit most of your personal success in life to?

Danielle Lloyd: Never giving up even when the odds are against you. I am lucky that I have a good family to support me. My mum and Dad (Jackie and Arthur) and my brother Matthew have been my rock and my mum has helped me through some pretty rough times.

* What is the strategy that makes you so popular and successful? Which steps do you take in order to strengthen your name recognition in the UK and overseas, and what do you avoid?

Danielle Lloyd: I am just myself I don't want to be put into a mould or have to be told to be or do something I don't want to be or do. I always let people see the real me and if they like it, they come back. If they don't they won't but most of the time they do! I have been in competitions all over the World and had the chance to meet lots of people which helps.

* Modeling isn't a work for shy women, and only a few feel comfortable to pose for Playboy. How did you build such a high self-confidence?

Danielle Lloyd: I lost most of my self-esteem and confidence being in two violent relationships but my mum and family supported me throughout and with counselling it made me stronger. I do have low times but I always say there are people who are much worse off than me and that makes me get through the low times. I really enjoyed posing for Playboy it was my dream to appear in Playboy when I started modelling. So when I got the opportunity I jumped at it. My self-confidence only grew after posing for Playboy. I am not shy to show my body off, I am quite proud of it.

* Describe the most enjoyable modeling assignment you’ve had so far.

Danielle Lloyd: It has to be Playboy, it was fantastic and it was in Palm Springs so that made it even better. The house where we did the shoot was fantastic! It was set in the mountains, near former homes of Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra and the view was amazing, it made me feel like a million dollars.

* How does a typical day in your life look like?

Danielle Lloyd: I hate getting up in the mornings but I usually just jump up and get ready without any problems. I don't have a breakfast, usually snack on dried fruit and water on my way to a shoot or film. I usually shoot/film all day then make my way home to my apartment and have either Fish fingers on bread or a takeaway. If I am going out I usually eat my tea whilst getting ready and my room is left in a mess!! Back home around 2 or 4am then up for a shoot, if I have one the next day to start all over again!

* Is it easy to look excellent 24/7/365? How do you maintain your beauty?

Danielle Lloyd: I only wear make up when I go out or in a photoshoot, so when I am at home or going to the shops or gym, I just go out in jeans/tracksuit and no makeup. I am concentrating on my career now so I have to make sure whenever I have any spare time, I go to the gym and I often detox with lots of herbal teas. I feel that I am lucky that I have a good complexion and don't need to wear makeup all the time. Sometimes when I have a shoot I can't wait to get the make up off! However it is great when I have a shoot and I am going out that night because then I don't have to do my hair or makeup - it's been done for me!

* What do you find difficult in life as a top celebrity?

Danielle Lloyd: I still can't get used to being noticed in the street it freaks me out. I will always be me, so I know I won't change. It is just scary, sometimes you have to realise that you are known and you can't just do things that you used to do. People can't understand that I just say yes to people who want an autograph and a photo. They keep saying that I am Just so normal, which is what I want to be known as.
