Danielle Lloyd scores another footballer - this time it's Jermain Defoe

Footballer Jermain Defoe and model Danielle Lloyd made their first public outing as a couple last night as they went to see Shilpa Shetty perform in Miss Bollywood in the Royal Albert Hall.

Their night out will come as a blow to Defoe's former fiancée Charlotte Mears, who's been left devastated by the Tottenham and England star

Sources say Defoe dumped Mears a couple of months ago and soon started seeing her pal Danielle.

He also asked Mears, 22, to take all of her belongings out of their Hertfordshire home and then changed the locks so she couldn't get back in.

The source says things are getting so serious between Defoe, 25, and Lloyd, 23, that he's now planning on moving her into the house he was making a home with his former fiancée.

The insider says: "Charlotte is devastated by the whole thing, she can't believe her fiancé and one of her close pals would hook up in the first place.

"She keeps saying 'but they'd never do that to me', but it seems they have.

"And to add insult to injury Jermain kicked her out of their home and changed the locks so she couldn't come back.

"Jermain and Dani are spending practically every waking hour together at his house, so it's only a matter of time before she officially moves in, which will be a huge shock and very upsetting for Charlotte."

Danielle - who has been linked to Teddy Sheringham and Marcus Bent in the past - wasn't coy about showing her feelings last night as she showed up with Jermain at the Royal Albert Hall (ironically to support Shilpa Shetty - a woman she once victimised on Celebrity Big Brother).

A friend says: "Their relationship happened kind of out of the blue, Dani had said she didn't want to date another footballer and Jermain didn't want another model but their feelings were too strong for each other.

"They're head over heels for each other now."
