She explained: ‘People tried to shame me about the fact that I went to get help. You should never feel shame because recovery is a positive thing.

'But when I first went, people were not open about this stuff. Everything like this should be talked about openly.

'Mental health issues, postpartum depression — there are so many different things. Come together and help each other, that’s important.’

Naomi also discussed her love for Nelson Mandela - her friend, mentor and adopted grandfather - revealing that the former President of South Africa sparked her passion for charity.

'He was the one that made me consciously aware, because I wasn’t', she said.

'I was aware to the extent that my mother used to take care of two kids in Ethiopia when I was growing up. But other than that I wasn’t really. He opened my eyes. I learnt a lot from him.’

Naomi is hosting her Fashion For Relief charity event in Cannes on 21 May, proceeds will be in aid of Save The Children.
