Naomi Campbell has been sentenced to mop the floors of New York's Sanitation Department.

The supermodel, who received the punishment after being found guilty of throwing a phone at her maid, will complete five days of court-ordered community service at the Manhattan garage for trash-trucks.

Campbell, who has been advised to wear an orange vest and workman's boots, is due to begin her sentence on March 19.

During the court case, lawyers for the British model told the judge that she would not agree to "do a Boy George".

The ex-Culture Club singer was ordered to sweep the streets of New York wearing a bright orange jacket, after being found guilty of lying to police about a burglary.

Campbell will be allowed to stay inside the garage out of the public view.

The 36-year-old supermodel pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour assault in January, after being arrested for hurling her crystal-encrusted phone at Ana Scolavino last March. The incident left Ana needing four stitches to the head.

She was fined ?180, ordered to do five days' community service and instructed to complete a two-day anger management programme.

This is the star's first criminal conviction.
