Kate Moss returns to her hometown of Croydon by helicopter for new Rimmel ad

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Going back to her roots: Supermodel Kate Moss returned to her hometown of Croydon to film an advert for Rimmel make-up on the roof of the Whitgift shopping centre


Since being discovered by a model scout aged 14, Kate Moss has left her hometown of Croydon firmly in her past.

But the supermodel decided to go back to her roots for the new Rimmel make-up advert as she was airlifted into the South London suburb via helicopter.

The 37-year-old blonde was back on stunning form in a red mini dress, patent peep-toe heels and lashings of red lipstick as she shot the commercial on the roof of Croydon's famous Whitgift shopping centre.

The catwalk queen was seen striding across the roof of the Whitgift Centre's multi-storey car park and jumping into a slick black chopper before being lifted over the concrete jungle that is Croydon town centre.

Although the shoot took place at sunrise, Moss was seen earlier on street level near the Allders department store with her hair in rollers and enjoying two of her vices - white wine and a cigarette.

During the promo, there was heavy security on site and the entire top floor of the car park had to be cleared from excited fans.

Many onlookers misheard and thought Prince William's new wife Kate Middleton, aka Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was in the helicopter.

The model's return to Croydon comes six months after she complained the area had become 'rough' since her childhood.

She told Stylist magazine: 'It’s so rough. My dad was in the pub the other day and somebody got shot.'


Red alert: Moss previously complained Croydon had become 'rough' since she left it in the Nineties


Moss grew up in Addiscombe - just a mile down the road from the Whitgift Centre - and honed her famous style by shopping in second-hand stores while growing up.

When she was dating Hollywood star Johnny Depp in the Nineties, she apparently took him back to the suburb for a tour and brought him to Surrey Street Market and Po Na Na's nightclub.

Of course, Croydon's nightlife has changed a lot since Moss was growing up - perhaps the Rehab bar or Tiger Tiger may not be quite to her tastes these days.

So when is the fitness DVD coming out? TOWIE's Gemma Collins hits bootcamp in just a sports bra and tiny shorts

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Working hard: Gemma Collins from The Only Way Is Essex is pictured working up a sweat in a gruelling fitness session in a park


She said she was confident, felt beautiful in herself and was a poster girl for bigger women in Brentwood, but it seems The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins is looking to lose some weight.

The curvy car saleswoman, who is nearly 17 stone and takes a size 20 dress, was seen working up a sweat as she was put through her paces during a gruelling fitness session in a park.

The reality TV star was happy to let it all hang out, dressed in a tiny work-out top which she had tucked under her breasts, and a pair of lycra shorts.


The outfit, which did little to flatter her fuller figure, will no doubt draw comparisons with pictures of weather girl Clare Nasir when she embarked on a fitness regime which saw her slim to a size 6.

But Gemma is not looking to undergo such a dramatic transformation and a spokesperson for the reality star told MailOnline she is just hoping to become more healthy.

He told MailOnline: 'Gemma is heading to a week long boot camp where she will be looking at her diet and seeking nutritional advice.'

Jumping for joy? Gemma, who tips the scales at nearly 17 stone and wears a dress size of between 18 and 20, is seen working hard building up her cardio with a spot of skipping

Getting fit and healthy: Gemma who is proud of her curves does not want to undergo a drastic weightloss but is looking to improve her diet and be more healthy


'She is exercising to become more healthy and a healthier shape.'

Collins, who has often spoken about her crush on fellow TOWIE co-star Mick Norcross, was seen skipping, boxing and jogging and certainly didn’t seem to slack during the tough training which took place just over two weeks ago.

However, her bid to lose weight comes after she has spoken about her confidence with her voluptuous figure on many occasions.

DVD due soon? The images of Gemma Collins, right, will no doubt be compared with the 2010 photos of Claire Nasir who was pictured working out (left) in a lime green two-piece before dropping to a size 6


Collins took part in a revealing photo shoot for heat magazine and said: ‘If I had to walk down a catwalk next to Kate Moss, I would. As long as I could have a tan and heels, it'd be absolutely fine!’

‘I'm not perfect, but I am confident and I feel beautiful. I'm a size 18-20 and almost 17 stone, so I'm doing it for us bigger girls.’

Feeling the pain: The car saleswoman stops for a breather after pushing herself hard during the session

Cooling off: Gemma, who is hoping lose some weight in order to be healthier, used her water bottle to cool down after the hardcore session


She added: ‘Some people are like, “Gemma, why don't you get the weight off?” and I say, “Cos I feel sexy!” The day I feel gross is the day I'll do something about it - but I don't.

‘I love my boobs, and I've got a little waist. My hips are a little bit fat, but you've got to shake what your mama gave you!’

Gemma joined her fellow TOWIE stars last night for the wrap party to celebrate the end of series two of the hit show.

The final episode of the series, which aired last night, showed Gemma bursting into tears after thinking that Mick Norcross, who she has openly admitted to liking, was coming over to talk to her with some champagne.

It's a wrap: Gemma Collins smooches with her crush Mick Norcross, who was also seen kissing a number of girls at the TOWIE bash. Right, Collins shows off a ring on her engagement finger


The bubbly blonde was left embarrassed and upset after he walked straight past her to another woman.

But as the episode aired she was actually enjoying a smooch with Mick Norcross at the wrap party held at the Sugar Hut nightclub- which Norcross owns.

However, the nightclub owner was seen kissing and cuddling a number of the girls at the party.

Meanwhile Collins, who seemed in extremely high spirits, showed off a ring on her engagement finger.

Muffin Moss: Tight outfit does nothing to flatter Kate who struggles to hide the bulges on fashion shoot in Paris

By Daily Mail Reporter


Trousers a bit tight, Kate? Miss Moss sports an unsightly bulge over her satin slacks on a shoot for an ad campaign for Mango in Paris yesterday


She ushered int the 'waif' look of the early Nineties and has managed to retain her very slender frame all the way throughout her 21-year career.

But even supermodels have their off days, as Kate Moss proved yesterday while on a shoot in Paris.

Kate, 37, was snapped by the refreshment stand in between filming, sporting what can only be described as a muffin top over her satin trousers.


And either Kate has let herself go in recent months or she needs to find herself a new stylist before any other fashion faux pas arise.

Kate will also be wanting to shift her extra weight before her wedding day to rocker Jamie Hince this summer.

So she might want to step away from the sugary sweets, after she was snapped making a beeline for the Haribo on the shoot.

Kate was in the French capital to film an ad campaign for Spanish clothing company Mango with legendary photographer Terry Richardson.

The shoot took place in the grounds of the beautiful Jardin du Petit Palais cafe.
