Danielle Lloyd has given birth to her second son 10 weeks early. The 27-year-old model - whose first child Archie turned one on Monday - was due to give birth in September. The baby is now being treated in a special care unit. Danielle's footballer fiance Jamie O'Hara, who was at the birth in the early hours of Wednesday morning, tweeted: "Danielle has delivered our baby this morning 4lb 4oz, 10 weeks early, baby and Dan are OK just letting the hospital look after him." The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant was pictured naked in Closer magazine this week proudly showing off her bump as she recreated magazine cover poses by Demi Moore and Britney Spears. Danielle said in the mag: "It makes me feel so sexy! I don't think your baby bump should be hidden under baggy clothes - it's beautiful and I'm proud of it." The model and Jamie, 24, are due to tie the knot in May next year and Danielle is keen to get her figure back for her big day. She said: "I'll get a trainer and go to the gym at least three times a week once the baby arrives. I've basically been pregnant for the past two years, so I can't wait to get my body back. "I'd like to be 9st and a size 8 before my wedding. If worst comes to worst, I'll consider lipo!"
