But it looks like a year later, things have well and truly turned around for Danielle Lloyd, who seems seriously loved up with new boyfriend Tom Jimson.
The Property Investor is equally enamoured with Danielle, taking to his Instagram account late on Monday to share a message to that effect.
‘Too much love for this women . can’t wait to see you @missdlloyd #toomanymilesapart #notlong #bestfriend #loveyou (sic)’
The caption accompanied a photo of the couple in Dubai, with Tom tenderly kissing Danielle’s cheek while she beams into the camera.
Danielle and Tom are currently splitting their time between the UAE city and England, with Lloyd being based, with her children, back in the UK, while Tom works in the middle east.
In reply to Tom’s sweet post, Danielle wrote: ‘Love u to baby hurry up (sic).’
