Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been ordered to stand trial in Sicily for an alleged attack on a photographer that put him in hospital.
The 43-year-old, allegedly hit Gaetano Di Giovanni as he took pictures of her on holiday with her billionaire ex boyfriend, Vladislav Doronin, reported the Daily Star. Di Giovanni claimed her nails damaged his left eye in the alleged attack on the Italian island of Lipari in July 2009.
Campbell has denied the charges. Di Giovanni claims it took three days to recover from an eye injury, which he said was certified by medical experts at a local emergency room.
The Streatham-born model has been summoned to appear in court in Sicily on December 4, legal sources said.

Hungarians win Britain’s Got Talent
London: A troupe of Hungarian shadow dancers won the television show Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday —- outshining a slew of home-grown performers and leaving viewers wondering if the programme’s name could do with a change.
The eight-member dance group, named Attraction, beat ten British acts to win the public vote on the primetime ITV show and walked away from the final with a £250,000 prize. They had wowed viewers with a series of dance routines performed behind a screen, twisting their bodies to form silhouettes in the shape of everything from Queen Elizabeth II to an elephant. The Budapest-based group were hot favourites to win — an irony that was not lost on the British press, with the Sun’s front-page headline on Saturday reading: “Er, Hungary’s got talent”.
