Naomi Campbell is going to star in Ugly Betty
Naomi Campbell is to follow in the footsteps of fellow fashion queen Victoria Beckham after accepting a cameo role in hit TV series Ugly Betty. The catwalk queen will play herself in the upcoming second series finale, according to the show’s star Becki Newton.
The actress says, “She’s going to be in our last episode, which is exciting. I’ve personally requested that I don’t stand next to her because (my character) Amanda would not like to be seen with such a tall, pretty person.”
Campbell was originally announced as a guest star last year, but the Hollywood writers’ strike scuppered plans.
A spokesman for network ABC confirmed Campbell would be appearing in the show.
Beckham appeared on the show in November when she played a bridesmaid to Vanessa Williams’ catty fashion boss character, Wilhelmina Slater.
