Naomi Campbell has fired back at critics who have given her a hard time following her assault on police officers at Heathrow airport.

In an interview with the Daily Mirror, the supermodel claimed that getting bad press "hurts".

"I'm not a bad person. When people say all these things about me, I ignore them," she commented. "Let them be negative - but do that away from me. It hurts but I know there is much more good in the world."

Campbell added that people overlook the work she does for charity.

She said: "I'm blessed to be able to do charitable work and good things but no one focuses on that because I don't throw it in people's faces. That's why they focus on the negatives."
