    Naomi Campbell has been banned from being a charity trustee after a watchdog investigation uncovered widespread evidence of financial misconduct at the poverty relief charity she founded.

    The supermodel was disqualified for five years after a Charity Commission inquiry found that Fashion for Relief passed on only a small fraction of the millions of pounds it raised from star-studded celebrity fashion events to good causes.

    The charity inappropriately spent tens of thousands of pounds on luxury hotel rooms, flights, spa treatments, personal security and cigarettes for Campbell, while unauthorised consultancy payments running into hundreds of thousands of pounds were made to one of Campbell?s fellow trustees, the commission said.

    It found that over a five-year period from 2016, Fashion for Relief raised just under ?4.8m from a series of fashion shows but paid out only ?389,000 in grants to partner charities once the cost of events and other expenses were accounted for.

    Olympic legend Sir Chris Hoy says he has terminal cancer and "two to four years" to live.

    Sir Chris, 48, revealed earlier this year he was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer and was "optimistic, positive and surrounded by love".

    However, the former track cyclist announced in an interview with The Times that his cancer - which was diagnosed as prostate cancer - was terminal - and that he had "known this for over a year".

    In the interview, he said: "As unnatural as it feels, this is nature.

    "You know, we were all born and we all die, and this is just part of the process.
