Danielle Lloyd has reportedly sued Carphone Warehouse after one of its employees tried to sell sexually explicit photos that were downloaded from her mobile.
According to the
Daily Mail, Lloyd is claiming up to £50,000 from the company and the worker after the images were swiped when she requested that data be transferred from one phone to another.
In her High Court claim, the model has said that she suffered "great mental distress and shock" after discovering that the unnamed employee had tried to sell the photos to at least five newspapers.
The pictures, which her lawyer has described as "very private", are thought to include depictions of the 25-year-old's body before and after her suspected surgery for breast cancer.
In a statement, Carphone Warehouse said that it had conducted an immediate investigation and that the employee no longer works for the company, adding: "The download of customer content is entirely unacceptable and we can confirm that this content was not published.
"Their actions are not indicative of our usual standard of service and we absolutely apologise to Ms Lloyd."
