In her first interview since completing her community service, Naomi Campbell has revealed that the experience was a humbling one.

The milionairess model said she swept, cleaned walls, tables and offices but denied reports that she had been scrubbing toilets.

"It was humbling and I just got to be with people and learn a lot about people that I would never really get to meet in my job" - Naomi Campbell

Cambell said: "It was humbling and I just got to be with people and learn a lot about people that I would never really get to meet in my job. Everyone was well-mannered and very straight up with me and I was straight up with them."

The Streatham born catwalk queen was sentenced to serve the time as punishment for throwing a mobile phone at former housekeeper Ana Scolavino.

During her sentence, the supermodel even managed to start a new fashion trend - the Christian Louboutin stiletto boots she wore at the start of her community service became one of the most in-demand items for the lucky Parisian designer.

Campbell revealed, "Louboutin says he got 1,200 orders from that day... I don't think he was planning to make those boots and now he is."

The model is reportedly seeing actor Gerard Butler, star of the movie 300.

The couple, who attended the Sony Ericsson Open tennis finals in Miami last week, are rumoured to be eager to keep their alleged relationship under wraps.
