Naomi Campbell used to sit outside Boy George's house "for hours".

She said: "He was my childhood idol and I'm glad to be able to call him a personal friend.

"I used to sit outside his house with my friend for hours with magazines or whatever else we wanted him to sign.

"As a fan, I feel lucky to have appeared in two Culture Club videos. When I was 13, I played a tap-dancing chorus girl in 'I'll Tumble 4 Ya' video. The following year, they cast me in another of their videos, 'Mistake No. 3'. I absolutely loved Culture Club and Boy George and I still do."

Despite her love of Culture Club, Naomi was more excited about appearing in a Bob Marley video when she was just seven years old.

She told Attitude magazine: "I have to say, out of all the videos I've appeared in, I think the Bob Marley one is the most exciting. I was just seven years old and it was my first music video.

"I was too young to understand much of it but I remember being a bit nervous when I was taken to meet him.

"My family loved reggae music. I still clearly remember there being lots of Bob Marley being played on the radio at home. Having those opportunities at such a young age was amazing."
