Naomi Campbell is a bossy and motherly mentor

Naomi Campbell is a "bossy and motherly" mentor.

The 50-year-old supermodel doesn't give out advice unless she's asked, and when young models do turn to her for guidance, she'll "pamper them" while also speaking honestly in order to ensure they don't stray in the "wrong direction".

Discussing on her plain-speaking ways as a judge on 'The Face' and 'Making The Cut', she said: "I'm bossy and motherly. And I don't want to see my babies go in the wrong direction, if I can say, 'Don't do that, do this.'

"I don't put my nose in, but if I'm asked, I'm going to give my opinion.

"And when they come running to me, I'm gonna pamper them."

And Naomi thinks it's "sweet" that the younger generation of models have awarded her the honorary title of "aunty".

She said: "I don't feel old. Even when I was called aunty 10 years ago, I've never felt old. I find them sweet."
