READY, TEDDY GONE FOR DANI

Carole Malone

SO WHERE was the big sporting hero then? Where was the man we're forever being told is the clever, wise, mature man of football?

Well, while Teddy Sheringham was in London's trendy Funky Buddha Club last week shaking his booty and trying to force his phone number on some pretty brunette who wasn't remotely interested, his terrified girlfriend Danielle - whose life is presently in tatters - was facing a wall of paparazzi, not to mention taunts of "racist", all on her own a couple of miles down the road.

This was the same Teddy Sheringham who'd left texts on Danielle Lloyd's phone while she was inside the Celebrity Big Brother house telling her how wonderful she was and how awful it all must be for her, the same Teddy who was quite happy to have Danielle share his life, his house and his bed since last February, yet who the minute SHE'S in trouble, he's off like a rat up a drain. He's been happy to parade Danielle as a trophy girlfriend but he's now refusing to say whether they are on or off until he sees how the public (and his team mates) react.

You see Teddy's been getting a bit of flak from his team mates because of his girlfriend's bad behaviour. And rather than tell them (like any decent person would) that he'd rather reserve judgment until he hears what Danielle has to say, he's all but abandoned her and started playing Jack The Lad in London's clubs, forgetting that whatever flak he's getting doesn't begin to compare to what's being heaped on her - deserved or not.

So much for being a grown-up.

I was at Channel 4's "wrap" party on Wednesday and spent some time with Danielle - who turned up with mum Jackie, dad Arthur and the security guard she now needs to protect her - and the girl was in bits. She was scared and shaking and tearful because the man she adored, the man she even hoped she might marry one day had left her to be devoured by wolves.

Could this be the same Teddy Sheringham who'd spent a cosy Christmas with Danielle and her family - yet who at the height of this race crisis wouldn't return her mum's calls. The same Teddy who Danielle's virtually lived with since last February, the man she told me time and again in that house was the nicest, kindest man she'd ever met.

But Danielle's misery didn't end there. The morning after the wrap party Teddy's naked torso - as well as his smug grin - was plastered all over one of the tabloids. He'd brought a tray of tea out to photographers wearing only his Calvin Klein boxers (he obviously thought his sixpack would detract attention from his face, which looks like my old grandad's) and when asked if he was still with Danielle he stuck the knife in again and said: "I'm not with her and who's to say if I'll ever be with her again."

But then he hasn't had the guts to tell Danielle that. She still thinks they're together. She still thinks that all she has to do is wait till the dust settles (or until Teddy's team mates tell him it's OK) and everything will be like it was before.

And how can a man who - according to Danielle - repeatedly told her he loved her abandon her in this callous way because what she's done might harm HIS reputation.

A REAL man would have escorted her into that party last week with his head held high. A REAL man would have been at her side when her character and her morals were being torn to shreds. Because even if Danielle's behaviour had shown him she was too young or too immature for anything more permanent, it would have been nice for him to show her a bit of loyalty at a time she desperately needed it.

Teddy, of course, knows Danielle isn't a racist, just young and daft, but still he won't be seen with her. And why? Maybe because he thinks it will damage him, make him look like he was condoning her behaviour. God forbid it might even affect his earning power.

Teddy Sheringham might be a hero to football fans, but he's a bit of a limp willy when it comes to loyalty, love and doing what's right.

Because if Danielle ever needed him - it's now. And he isn't there. And even if he never had any intention of marrying her, even if he doesn't love her as much as she loves him, surely he owes her that?

Whoever claimed Sheringham was CLEVER or WISE????

Where does this woman get this rubbish from?

He's just a footballer, Danielle was just a footballer's *****. She's p***** on her chips, get over it you stupid woman.

Carole Malone is without doubt the WORST journalist ive ever had the misfortune to read.

[Ruth]

I agree with Hitman. Every time I read anything by Carole Malone, I know that it's going to be a load of one-sided, biased drivel.

[GiRTh]

Compared to most footballers, Teddy's some kind of Einstein.

I agree with what you're saying. The article is pure tittle tattle.

[Arkadina]

I think it's excellent she's stuck by her opinions in the house and hasn't done a hatchet job on Danielle simply because it's what everyone else is doing. If she'd done that you'd be attacking her for hypocrisy.

And yes, I think Teddy's been awful with what he's done to Danielle: if you love someone, or even like them (and how can you not feel at least one of those things for someone you've been with for months) you stand by them. Full stop. He's a weak coward, imho.

And since she's friends with Danielle, maybe she knows a little bit more about what's going on with them than we do. Give her a break.

please. if you are in the wrong you are in the wrong. full stop! as i said before, i would have sold her belongings on ebay long ago. carole is pathetic, what a bias view...

[Tom4784]

I agree with Carole, Teddy is being pretty pathetic. to say he is in his 40's (or 50's telling from his looks) He is acting like a spoilt child who's locked themselves in a room in defiance. Why is he worried about damaging his career? He isn't exactly beckham now is he?

Yeah Danielle was in the wrong but since Shilpa let it go instantly we should all move on from the row, including Mr Has Been.

No, he's a far superior footballer to Beckham, just not as famous.

The worst thing about that article, apart from its pathetic sexist bias, is the way Carole tries to set the scene of the refined, respected gentleman not living up to his duties to the innocent young maiden in their beautiful love affair. Its lies.

In reality, Sheringham has spent his entire career sleeping with glamour models. He's done them all. And theyve all been left in his wake. The fact that Danielle deserves absolutlely no respect after the respect she has shown for people, pretty much leaves Sheringham 100% blameless, and Danielle getting EXACTLY what she deserves.

Its poor journalism, coming from a woman who PROVES everytime she writes something, that SHE DOESNT KNOW WHAT SHES TALKING ABOUT.

"Teddy Sheringham might be a hero to football fans, but he's a bit of a limp willy when it comes to loyalty, love and doing what's right."

the same could be said for dirk, jermaine, ian & cleo! not one of them got in jades face & said shes wrong. not one of them tried to stop it at an early stage before it got out of hand. carole is talking about teddy as if she knows him, she doesnt! "he should do this, he should do that..." get a life carole. im sure not everything is a bed of roses at home! the fact that teddy kept silent throughout the intire thing shows he wanted to talk to her 1st & make a decision (unless he already made his mind up & wanted to tell her 1st). teddy being pathetic eh? people obviously missed what jade, jo, danielle, jackiey, & jake was doing! "pretty pathetic" is ian & cleo for sitting on the fence.

I wouldn't. I can't speak for anyone else, but don't claim to know what I would have said! Besides which - yes, Carole is sticking to her opinions about Danielle, but she's certainly changed her mind about some of the other housemates.

You mean, no matter what someone does, if you love them, you stick by them? What if Danielle had physically attacked Shilpa? What if she had definitely, without question, said some racist things? Should he stick by her then? He didn't even want her to go into the house in the first place - should she have respected his wishes, and not done it?

[GiRTh]

I'm just glad to see that he's taken the easy option and dumped her.

[easypeasy]

How that women ever got a job in journalism I'll never know.......

[pinkprincess2k6]

Good - it's nice that she's sticking up for Danielle. She doesn't deserve any of the nasty comments shes been getting lately - they're all completely untrue.

People said the same thing about Shilpa Shetty a couple of weeks ago.

I didn't mean you in the specific sense, more generically. An awful lot of people I've seen around and about the net seem to be enjoying jumping on whatever she says and that was what I was referring to. I'm sorry it came out like I was referring to anyone in particular.

Yes, I do mean that. One loves someone for who they are with you (again I mean it generically), not how others perceive them. And Danielle didn't physically attack Shilpa so it's a moot point. She said a few things (a lot less offensive than some of the posts I've seen here and on DS), it's not Murder or Genocide. War criminals get off lighter. And Shilpa's let it go, why can't the man who told her he loved her?

[tinkerbell]

**** article, **** knows why is she licking Danielles asshole! Why is she criticizing Teddy anyway she doesnt even know him he can do what he wants.

[Ruth]

Arkadina - Well...I know what you're saying - Danielle did not attack Shilpa physically, so yes, in one sense, it is a moot point. But not if you think he should have stood by her no matter what she had done. It depends what people find acceptable I guess. Everyone has different ideas of what is acceptable and what isn't. I'm not a fan of Teddy Sheringham particularly, and to be honest, I think that even if he wanted to finish with Danielle, he perhaps should have waited until she came out of the house. However, if I was him, I would have been disgusted by her behaviour too. Considering she is 23 years old - a grown woman - she acted like an immature little girl.

Btw, I wasn't having a go at you on my last post Arkadina - I realise it might have looked like I was, but I didn't mean to.

[Emilee]

huh... Im fed up of this story now. They've split up - thats it now.

[Lauren]

Perhaps seeing her in the Big Brother house made him realise she was racist, and he didn't want to be with her. Why should he stay with someone he doesn't want to be with, just because Carole Malone says it will make him a man?

[Chrizzle]

I agree with Emilee, this whole thing is completely boring me now.
BB is over, lets just forget about the drivel that was CBB5.

I agree, not to mention the fact that Carole wanted Danielle to win at her eviction interview, she's hardly going to write a bias-free article.

[Ruth]

If Danielle is that scared and terrified, why was she even at the wrap party? Or could it be that she thought that being seen with the need for a large bodyguard might help her cause?

Or maybe she wanted to have a night of fun and not hideaway like everybody wants her to! She also might have wanted to reunite with some of her friends, like Carole.

Plus, she wasn't scared and hadn't receieved hate mail at this point I dont think.

But according to her new best mate Carole, she couldn't have a good time because of the death threats - and if she hadn't received any death threats at that time, then why the need for a bodyguard?

For the principal? She still denies her comments were meant in a racist way and so hiding away and not showing up at the wrap party would've been accepting her guilt.

Had she not turned up, there'd be people calling her a coward and saying she's hiding from the press in terms of damage limitation, and instead she just went out to meet up with old friends.
