Putting one foot in front of the other proved a little tricky for Danielle Lloyd after hours of partying at an Essex club last night.

The model emerged from Faces looking rather worse for wear at 2.30am only to take an embarrassing tumble as she staggered to a waiting cab.

Tumble: Danielle Lloyd fell out of Essex nightclub Faces in the early hours of this morning

Her rescue came in the form of her friend's party frock, which she clung to in desperation as she regained her balance.

Danielle recently revealed she'd cut down on alcohol in an effort to lose weight, but apparently made an exception yesterday.

She lost a stone after avoiding drink and junk food, saying just last week: 'Now I drink about seven units over the weekend, rather than more than that every night!'

Home time: Danielle could barely keep her eyes open

'I'm really pleased because my stomach and legs looked toned, and I know no-one's going to be commenting on my wobbly bits because I haven't got any now!'

Former WAG Danielle, who has dated Teddy Sheringham and Jermaine Defoe, was earlier spotted holding hands at the club with a mystery man.

The model, who came to national prominence during her part in the 2007 Celebrity Big Brother race row, says she is keen to find herself a permanent boyfriend.

Dani says: 'I’m happy, single and enjoying myself. I’m just going out and having fun with the girls.

'But it would be nice to find myself a decent guy who will treat me properly.
