In this three-part series, we'll see how the real Hugh is a whole lot darker than his audiences ever suspected.

    Encore: Naomi Campbell's Model Behaviour | Cover Girl | 1

    We've delved into the Terribly Famous archives to bring back one of our favourite series. Naomi Campbell is a fashion icon, still killing it on the catwalk in her fifties. To some, she’s a role model. But it wasn’t always that way. Over the next three episodes, we'll tell the story of how a young Black model scaled the heights of the fashion world, but had to fight to get treated right. Until that fight spilled over into an anger she couldn’t control.


    This episode contains a description of sexual assault. If you're in England or Wales and have been affected by any form of sexual violence or abuse, support is available 24/7. Call 0808 500 2222 or visit https://247sexualabusesupport.org.uk.
