She said she had “lost my voice”.
“I’ve been drinking hot water,” she said.
“Have you got the flu or something?” host Ruth asked.
“No I’ve haven’t. I think it’s just lack of sleep. I’ve been working,” the model said of her voice.

Naomi previously said of her reputation: “My lateness was terrible, and I’ll admit to that, but I never would actually come in with a story of why I was late.“But I’d get there, and I’d get the job done.“I never believed in giving an excuse. I’m not going to lie.”
