Shan Lloyd

Shan Lloyd (c.1953 - 13 December 2008) (nee Shan Davies) was a British journalist, writer and reporter. She was the fourth wife and WIDOW of actor, Hugh Lloyd.

Shan Lloyd first met Hugh Lloyd, in 1978, at Allen's, famous restaurant in London's West End. She was working as the first female crime reporter at the Sunday People at the time, while Hugh Lloyd was performing in No [...] Please, We're British. Hugh Lloyd was already dining there when his friend waved to Shan Lloyd as she was entering the restaurant. The two soon realized that they lived around the corner from one another. Hugh Lloyd, who was in his fifties at the time of their first meeting, had been married and divorced three times before he met Shan Lloyd. In his autobiography, Hugh Lloyd described his future wife as "a scatty, blondehaired Fleet Street tabloid journalist". Hugh and Shan married in 1983. They moved to Worthing, West Sussex, in 2003.

Professionally, Shan Lloyd also pursued a professional career as a freelance showbiz reporter for the Brighton and Hove Leader. In her later years, Lloyd became an ACTIVE member of the Red Hat Society.

Shan Lloyd died on 13 December 2008 at Worthing Hospital in Worthing, at the age of 55. Lloyd's passing came just six months after the death of her husband in July 2008.
