Fresh from newspaper claims that she once shared a six-month relationship with Formula 1 prodigy Lewis Hamilton, Danielle is now apparently smitten with US rapper 50 Cent. The pair met backstage after the hip hop superstar’s recent London gig and Fiddy reportedly wants to fly the Celebrity Big Brother star to New York for a romantic holiday and a starring role in one of his upcoming music videos.

The story of Danielle’s search success

Although online interest in Danielle’s latest dalliance has propelled her into our Bubbling Under chart, it’s a far cry from her Hotlist heyday six months back when she, along with Jo O’Meara and Jade Goody, were accused of bullying fellow Big Brother housemate Shilpa Shetty and, as a consequence, regularly topped our celebrity search chart.

Danielle’s first taste of search success came thanks to the publicity after she was famously, erm, stripped of her Miss Great Britain title after breaching competition rules by agreeing to pose for a well-known gentleman’s magazine. It was also alleged that her relationship with footballer Teddy Sheringham, a judge at the beauty pageant, had begun months before the former West Ham and Manchester United star cast the vote that sent her into the contest’s final stages.

Although she’s been unable to sustain the online attention she enjoyed earlier in the year, Danielle’s regular appearances in gossip columns have kept her among Hotlist’s most searched for celebs. Her eventual split from Sheringham, endless red carpet appearances at movie premieres, flings with footballers Jerome Thomas and new Tottenham Hotspur signing Darren Bent as well as a victory in a high profile libel case against a national newspaper have kept glamour girl Danielle firmly in the spotlight. She’ll be hoping her hook-up with 50 Cent will keep her there for some time to come.
