Naomi Campbell turns down TV modelling show

Naomi Campbell has backed out from fronting a reality TV modelling competition because she could not agree on the terms of her contract.

According to reports, the British catwalk queen was offered a role hosting the UK version of 'America's Next Top Model', which is presented by model-turned-TV star Tyra Banks.

Campbell was in talks with TV bosses over her pay and the amount of time she would be expected to be available for the project. However, according to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, the negotiations fell through at the last minute.

"What was missing (in the British version) was a real diva supermodel, a British equivalent to US host Tyra Banks,” Contactmusic quoted a source as saying.

"Naomi was really excited, but pulled out because she couldn't reach an agreement over logistics or the amount of time she would have to commit,” added the source.
