Naomi’s Heathrow hissy-fit

Heathrow’s spanking new Terminal 5 has endured more than its fair share of problems since opening the other week, but one thing BA bigwigs couldn’t have accounted for was tempestuous supermodel Naomi Campbell dropping by.

Campbell apparently lost it last night when airline staff failed to load one of her bags onto her plane. Sources say she sat in First Class looking “crazed and psychotic”, then launched a foul-mouthed attack on the plane’s crew, screaming “why can’t you get anything right? Get all my bags on this flight!” before helpfully adding: “I’m Naomi Campbell.”

Armed police were called, with Naomi allegedly screaming, “A***holes! You’re all a***holes!” at the officers. It’s reported that as she was led away, she spat in a cop’s face while trying to kick and throw punches at them. Nice. Scotland Yard has confirmed, in its inimitably cryptic style, that “a 37-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting an officer”.

The Streatham-born supermodel is well known for her temper, with a long list of brushes with the law dating back a decade. Two years ago, she left a three-inch cut in her housekeeper’s head following an attack with a diamond-encrusted mobile phone. In the past she’s attended anger management classes (successful, huh?) and in January last year she was handed a community service charge which saw her endure the glamour of mopping floors in a New York warehouse.
