Trivia

• She was good friends with fellow Series 7 finalist Katie Waissel. The duo called themselves gweeve.
• In Week 7, Paije Richardson received more public votes than Lloyd. This meant that if the result went to deadlock, Richardson would have advanced to the quarter-final and Lloyd would have been eliminated.
• In the semi-final, Mary Byrne received more public votes than Lloyd. This meant that if there was not a Final Showdown or if the result went to deadlock, Byrne would have advanced to the final and Lloyd would have been eliminated.
• Lloyd was followed by Andrea Faustini in Series 11 and V5 in the 2019 Celebrity spin-off, to finish last in the public vote in the week before the quarter-final and semi-final but survive both sing-offs.
