Working holiday Naomi? Miss Campbell can't resist an impromptu photoshoot soaking up the sun on luxury yacht break


As one of the world’s highest paid supermodels Naomi Campbell has spent a lifetime in front of cameras so you would think she would welcome a break from posing while on holiday.

But as she lapped up the sunshine in South beach aboard a luxury yacht with her billionaire boyfriend Naomi just couldn’t pass up a photo opportunity

The 40-year-old model was lapping up the luxury she is so used to on a break with her property tycoon boyfriend Vladislav Doronin, when she stopped sunbathing to take a few snaps.

Showing off her model figure in a black and white print bikini Naomi was seen posing and taking pictures of herself on her phone camera while on the sundeck of the super luxe vessel.

And with her successful model career behind her Naomi certainly knows just how to strike a pose and was seen giving her most fierce look as she snapped away happily.

After the impromptu photoshoot Naomi seemed tempted into the deep azure waters and made her way down the steps at the back of the boat.

Naomi sat at the top of the steps with her toes dipping into the water for a while before she climbed down the steps.

But while the waters looked tempting perhaps they weren’t as refreshing as she would have like and she stopped short of submerging herself but clung onto the steps with just her legs in the water.

It wasn’t long before the model had enough and of course there was a staff member on hand to help her out of the water and back onto the safe haven of the boat.

While Naomi was on the yacht with her boyfriend, who she has been dating since 2008, he was nowhere to be seen during her sunbathing session on Saturday.

The Streatham-born model has been rumoured to be joining the X Factor panel should Cheryl Cole leave the U.K. version of the programme.

She said: ‘Simon is an institution. I love him. I watch The X Factor every week and it drives my boyfriend insane. I’m torn about who I want to win.’

Miss Campbell, who is dating Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin, was one of 400 guests at Cowell’s £1 million star-studded 50th birthday party in 2009.

However, critics of Miss Campbell will wonder how much authority she could bring to

The X Factor, given her lack of success in the music industry. In 1995 she released her debut album as a singer, Baby Woman, which peaked at 75 in the UK charts despite an appearance on BBC 1’s Top Of The Pops to promote the first single from the record, Love And Tears.

She has also made minor appearances on tracks by American rapper Vanilla Ice and legendary US record producer Quincy Jones.
