The past 12 months have been an emotional rollercoaster for Danielle Lloyd.<\/p>\n

As well as being diagnosed with endometriosis and enduring a \u201chorrendous\u201d cancer scare, the model and TV star, 39, was advised she may have to undergo a hysterectomy, dashing her hopes of one day having another baby.<\/p>\n

But, the mum-of-five tells OK!<\/b> she feels she can \u201ctake on the world\u201d, after a stint on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins (arguably the most gruelling reality show on TV) gave her a \u201cbrand new perspective\u201d and transformed her into a \u201cmore positive person\u201d. <\/p>\n

Here, Danielle \u2013 who has three boys, Archie, 13, Harry, 12, and George, 10, from a previous relationship and son Ronnie, six, and daughter Autumn, 22 months, with electrician husband Michael O\u2019Neill \u2013 reveals why the show made her both physically and mentally stronger and admits she\u2019s come to terms with the fact she can\u2019t have any more children.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The former Miss England also opens up on the friendship she\u2019s forged with co-star and controversial MP Matt Hancock and has her say on Coleen Rooney\u2019s recent Vogue cover.<\/p>\n

Hi Danielle! How would you sum up your Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins experience?<\/b><\/p>\n

Oh my God, it was mental torture. I don\u2019t think anything could have possibly prepared me for what came. You have to be mentally strong to get through the crazy challenges and mind games they put you through. I cried so many times in pain because I missed my family so much. There was one night when I was in my camp bed and cried myself to sleep. Although it was really difficult, the show has given me a brand new perspective. It\u2019s made me a more positive person because nothing can ever be as bad as that. It\u2019s made me stronger.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Is the show as physically demanding as it looks?<\/b><\/p>\n

My body was completely different after the show. I was in Dubai on holiday when I got the call asking me to take part \u2013 sitting round the pool, drinking bottles of wine and with just two weeks\u2019 notice. I\u2019d done zero preparation. I warned the officers how unfit I was and asked them not to expect me to do very well during the show\u2019s many challenges.<\/p>\n

We hear you struck up a friendship with Matt Hancock. How did you feel about him being on Celebrity SAS?<\/b><\/p>\n

Do you know what? I didn\u2019t have an opinion on him before. I\u2019m definitely not into politics, he was just someone I saw on the news every day when we were being told not to leave our houses. But when I met him, he was nice enough to me \u2013 really friendly. I tend to take people as I find them, I try not to take into account things I\u2019ve heard before.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What did your other campmates make of him?<\/b><\/p>\n

Some people definitely had a few questions for him over what went down during the pandemic, but I won\u2019t give too much away. All I\u2019ll say is that he did handle confrontation quite well. It was such an intense situation, but I think the officers absolutely annihilated him.<\/p>\n

Is he in the WhatsApp group?<\/b><\/p>\n

Oh yeah. We\u2019re trying to get everyone together for a night out, but it\u2019s hard because we all have separate projects going on. I do think we\u2019ll meet up again soon though. Matt messaged me the other day asking if Michael and I wanted to go out with him and Gina on a double date for some food some time. We\u2019re very different people \u2013 I honestly don\u2019t know what we\u2019d talk about, but I\u2019m sure it\u2019d be a fun night. I\u2019d just have to get him drunk!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The show is quite the physical challenge. Do you feel fit now?<\/b><\/p>\n

Definitely. As the days went on, I started getting fitter and fitter. I could feel it happening. When I came out, I\u2019d lost loads of weight and felt really good about myself. I felt like I could take on the world. Gaining weight during my cancer tests did knock my confidence, but I think I\u2019ve just come to terms with the fact I\u2019m getting a bit older now. I\u2019m content in my life right now at home with my family and I\u2019m just not overly bothered about my weight or what I look like as long as I\u2019m healthy.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re no stranger to cosmetic surgery. Would you consider going under the knife again?<\/b><\/p>\n

No, that\u2019s it for surgery. I wouldn\u2019t put myself through that now with there being such a massive risk of not waking up again. I\u2019ve got five kids to think about now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve had the all-clear on endometrial cancer. How are you doing health-wise?<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m doing OK. That was such a scary time and I\u2019ve still got all the symptoms and side effects of what\u2019s going on, mostly a severe level of pain. Anyone with endometriosis will tell you, it\u2019s not just like period pain, it\u2019s pains shooting down your legs, awful cramps, heavy bleeding and exhaustion. I\u2019m still waiting for my endometrial ablation and sterilisation, but I think as soon as that\u2019s done, I\u2019ll feel so much better.<\/p>\n

Has the news that you won\u2019t be able to have more children sunk in yet?<\/b><\/p>\n

The older Autumn gets, the more I\u2019m starting to think that phase in life has passed me anyway. But I\u2019m so thankful for the kids I\u2019ve got. It\u2019s sad, but I know I\u2019m done now. I\u2019d always thought about adopting but, realistically, I\u2019ve got no room at the inn any more. I\u2019d have to get a double decker bus to drive them all round.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Do you and Autumn have a special bond with her being your only daughter?<\/b><\/p>\n

Definitely. I brought her with me last week to get my nails done and she sat down next to me and put her hands on the table too. She\u2019s so girly and such a diva.<\/p>\n

What did you think of Coleen Rooney\u2019s Vogue interview?<\/b><\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t had a chance to catch up with her properly, but I texted her afterwards saying she looked incredible on the cover and that she\u2019s done Liverpool proud. She looked fantastic.<\/p>\n

And what did you make of Becky Vardy\u2019s response about not putting up with her husband seeing hookers?<\/b><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know why she won\u2019t just drop it to be honest. It just needs to be forgotten about now.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
