Naomi Campbell has pleaded guilty to assaulting two police officers following a row over luggage at Heathrow airport.

The supermodel pleaded guilty to four charges, including assaulting two police officers and a public order offence.

"We've accepted that plea," said a spokeswoman for the Crown Prosecution Service.

Campbell was removed from a stationary British Airways plane on April 3 after losing her temper when her luggage went missing at the newly-opened Terminal 5. She later attacked police officers as they attempted to calm her down.

Outside the court, Campbell's spokesman Alan Edwards described the incident as "regrettable".

Campbell took a court-ordered anger management class last year after throwing a mobile phone at her housekeeper.
