Naomi Campbell broke down in tears as she blamed her notorious temper on "abandonment issues".

The supermodel was questioned by TV host Oprah Winfrey, who confronted her frankly about her temper - which has seen her previously lash out at her own staff, camera crews, police officers and airline workers.

Naomi blamed her furious outbursts on her mother, who left her at home while she pursued a career as a ballet dancer.

When asked by Oprah if she was "just a petulant diva", she replied: "It comes from a deeper place than that with me. It comes from another type of emotional disorder because it's not just, if I don't get what I want I throw a fit.

"It comes from, I think, an abandonment issue and it comes from also trying to just build up a family around me that's not my immediate family and if I feel a mistrust, then, all my cards go down. It's not a right thing to do. I just see red."
