Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Danielle Lloyd needed emergency surgery after a vicious nightclub attack on Sunday. The 25-year-old model was reportedly set upon by two women in the Crystal nightclub in London's West End. According to the Daily Mirror, Lloyd was attacked by the women then thrown onto a table of glasses, gashing her leg and hurting her back. An onlooker told the paper: “It was horrific – a bloodbath on the dancefloor. Danielle was screaming in panic. There was blood everywhere – on chairs and on legs. “Some people got a bit lairy and her boyfriend told them to **** off. He had to be held back.” She required emergency surgery on her leg wound and stitches in her back. Lloyd is dating Tottenham Hotspur footballer Jamie O'Hara. Police arrested and bailed two women on suspicion of assault.
