I’M A Celebrity’s Janice Dickinson reignites a decades-long feud with supermodel rival Naomi Campbell in expletive-laden rant in camp. 

The American model - known as the original supermodel for her work in the 1970s and 80s - branded fellow clotheshorse Naomi a “b*tch” in a discussion with Myleene Klass about the industry.

The comment is the latest in a long-running war of words between the two veterans of the catwalk.

Chatting on Thursday night’s show, Myleene, 45, asks Janice: “What do you think modelling does to young girls? Cos everyone is really scrutinising it now. 

“You know, like, it’s not PC, they shouldn't be doing it.”

Janice, 68, replies: “It depends, like Naomi Campbell for example is the biggest b*itch.”

Then she claimed: “She’s not nice to her assistants, she’s always late.

“The industry turned her into a monster.”

The women both walked the catwalk for top brands before retiring and undertaking huge media careers. 

Janice Dickinson says she coined the term ‘supermodel’ in 1979 during a conversation with her manager. 

The story goes that her manager, concerned that Janice was taking on too much work, told her, “You are not Superman.” 

To which Janice replied: “I am not Superman, I am a supermodel.”

Years later in one barb Naomi hit back: "It's used way too much.

“And I laugh. I just laugh. We never called ourselves that.

“It was coined by whatever losers, but I never called myself a supermodel.

“It's always been a very competitive career. It's hard work. It's a discipline--taking care of yourself inside and out."

Janice has lit up camp so far on the all stars I’m A Celebrity…South Africa version currently airing on ITV1 and ITVX.

On Tuesday night’s show she undertook a foul eating challenge alongside Jordan Banjo.
