Danielle LloydDanielle Lloyd is suing the Carphone Warehouse over explicit snaps.

The glamour model discovered an employee of the phone giant had allegedly downloaded the private pics from her mobile phone without consent, and was trying to flog them to the papers.

It's a lesson to us all.

The glamour girl bought a new phone in March last year and asked the store to transfer all the contents of her old phone, but she claims one employee didn't follow the rules.

Amongst the intimate snaps are believed to be images of 25-year-old Dan before and after surgery for suspected breast cancer.

She is taking the phone company and the employee to court for £50,000.

In a claim form to the High Court, Dan says she has "suffered great mental distress and shock" after discovering the photos had been seen, copied and touted around the national newspapers.

The claim, which was submittted at the end of January, says she suffered considerable trouble and expense to stop the images being published, which the Carphone Warehouse has refused to reimburse.

A spokesperson for the Carphone Warehouse said: "The download of customer content is entirely unacceptable and we can confirm that this content was not published.

"When the matter was brought to our attention we immediately conducted an investigation and the employee is no longer working within the business.

"Their actions are not indicative of our usual standard of service and we absolutely apologise to Ms Lloyd."
