Default Dani and Ted\'s £100M poker battle - She\'s back on The Star front page!

SEXY Danielle Lloyd is to go head-to-head with ex-boyfriend Teddy Sheringham in a £100million poker match.

Model Dani, 23, is about to be signed up as the face of betting giant Ladbrokes’ poker empire.

The Big Brother babe’s gorgeous face and figure will be used to promote the firm’s tournaments.

And that means the Liverpool lass will be battling it out with former lover Teddy, 40, who fronts rival bookie Victor Chandler’s poker ventures.

The pair, who split last month, will now be competing on behalf of their companies to win the biggest slice of Britain’s poker market, worth more than £100m and rising.

The battle between the pair will be one of the industry’s most compelling contests.

A betting source said: “Dani’s appearance on the poker scene will really raise the stakes, but there’s no way Teddy is going to fold and let her and Ladbrokes take the jackpot. This will be some game.”

The poker war was sparked by Dani’s visit to the Cheltenham Festival last week. She won £10,000 at the races after picking out three winners, including Gold Cup champ Kauto Star.

Ladbrokes bosses were so impressed, they decided to sign her up for a string of celebrity poker games they have planned this year.

Danielle, who was taught poker by West Ham striker Teddy, has already enjoyed success at the tables.

But her new job won’t please Teddy, who is long established as the face of Victor Chandler.

He launched the world’s biggest ever online Grand Slam poker event last year with a £5m jackpot on offer.
