A Burberry chief has confirmed that the fashion label will be sticking by Kate Moss.

Despite reports that the company had turned its back on the model following allegations that she snorted cocaine, creative director Christopher Bailey insisted that she is still "absolutely part of our family".

He told the Daily Mail, "There has been so much nonsense in the press about Burberry dropping Kate. Is Kate still a part of our family? Absolutely.

"Yes, she has some issues that she probably needs to resolve, but don't we all? We are certainly not going to say, because of one incident, that she has nothing to do with us."
