Naomi Campbell has been sentenced to 200 hours community service after pleading guilty to assaulting a police officer at Heathrow airport in April.
The 37-year-old was detained at the airport's new Terminal 5 in April after a row broke out between the model and airline staff when she was informed that some of her baggage had been lost.
As a result of the row, police were called and the supermodel was arrested, handcuffed and led off the plane, before being later released on bail.
And appearing at Uxbridge magistrate's court today to answer the charges, she pleaded guilty to three counts of assaulting a police officer and one count of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Campbell also admitted two counts of threatening or abusive behaviour towards a cabin crew member after answering bail at Heathrow police station on Thursday May 29th.
Campbell was banned from flying with British Airways (BA) after the airport scuffle, though her spokeswoman said at the time it was hoped the dispute could be "resolved amicably".
Last year Ms Campbell was sentenced to community service in New York after being convicted of assault.
As punishment for throwing a mobile phone at her maid the model was made to clean toilets and sweep floors for five days.
