Hot-tempered supermodel Naomi Campbell is to be immortalised in a series of larger-than-life sculptures.

Photographer Nick Knight has been working with Campbell to create three sculptures which will stand more than nine metres high.

While Campbell has become one of the world's most famous supermodels, she has also gained notoriety for her angry outbursts at staff and airline workers.

Knight told The Independent on Sunday that despite Campbell's reputation, he believed she deserved to have a unique sculpture to remind people she was "one of the most famous and beautiful women in the world".

He has been using three-dimensional scanners to create the sculptures, which he hopes to unveil by the end of the year.

Knight has so far scanned Campbell "straddling the barrel of a large tank" to use as the basis for one sculpture while another will be a "circle of three Naomis, like The Three Graces".
