Naomi Campbell: I had op to remove tumours

Supermodel underwent procedure in Brazil

Naomi Campbell grew up in Streatham, London

Naomi Campbell says she had surgery to remove two benign 9cm tumours from her abdomen last year.

And during the op, which took place in Brazil, doctors realised one had leaked.

‘It wasn’t getting them out that was serious,’ she says. ‘It was the infection.’

‘Had I stayed with them in there for a further three months, they said I would have been in danger for my life.’

Naomi, 38, is currently dating Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin, 45, and says she's keen to have kids.

‘I’m not pressuring my partner but I’d love to have a baby,’ she tells The Mail on Sunday.

‘It’s every woman’s dream and I feel that's a huge part of my life that I'm yet to experience.’
