The charges relate to an incident last month when she was removed from a flight bound for Los Angeles following an alleged row over luggage.

Campbell, 38, was charged with six offences when she answered bail at Heathrow police station this morning. The model is charged with three counts of assaulting a constable, one count of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress, and two counts of using threatening, abusive words or behaviour to cabin crew.

She is alleged to have assaulted two police officers, one of them on two separate occasions, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.

Campbell could be jailed for up to six months and/or fined up to £5,000 for each count of assaulting a constable if she is found guilty.

The supermodel arrived at the police station in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes just after 11.30am wearing a pinstriped dark suit and sunglasses. After spending half an hour inside being informed of the charges she was driven away after refusing to answer any questions from waiting reporters.

Her lawyer Simon Nicholls read a statement on her behalf. He said: "Miss Campbell is bitterly disappointed that the prosecutors have advised her she is to be prosecuted for various offences.

"Prosecutors in this case have decided she needs to be prosecuted in the magistrate's court. She respects that decision and she hopes this matter is dealt with expeditiously."

Campbell will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court in west London on June 20.

The model was flying with British Airways from Heathrow's recently-opened Terminal 5 to the US for a memorial service on April 3 when she was arrested.
