Supermodel Kate Moss was escorted from an EasyJet flight by police after apparently becoming “disruptive”, sources have revealed.

The plane, which flew from Bodrum in Turkey, arrived at Luton Airport on Sunday afternoon where it was met by officers, Bedfordshire Police confirmed.

“We were called to assist staff in escorting a passenger from a flight arriving into Luton airport,” a police spokesman said.

“The passenger had been reported as being disruptive on the flight.

“Officers attended and escorted the passenger from the plane. No formal complaints were made against her and she was not arrested.”

An easyJet spokeswoman said police were asked to go to flight EZY2232 “due to the behaviour of a passenger onboard”.

She added that the airline “does not tolerate disruptive behaviour and will always report any incidents to the authorities”.

Moss, 41, has been one of the world's best known faces for more than two decades and has spent more than half her life in the public eye.

Famously discovered by Storm model agency founder Sarah Doukas aged 14 at JFK airport, her early ascent to global fame saw her starring in Calvin Klein ads.

Moss, 41, was in Turkey to celebrate actress Sadie Frost's forthcoming 50th birthday, The Daily Mail reported.

She has graced thousands of covers and walked down countless catwalks since a photoshoot in style magazine The Face made her a star.

Her waifish looks, party lifestyle, and a string of celebrity partners, including Johnny Depp and Pete Doherty, have kept her in the headlines for years and she has worked with almost every major fashion designer, including Louis Vuitton and Stella McCartney, as well as being the face of make-up company Rimmel.

The model rarely gives interviews but has spoken about the toll her work took on her, especially in her early years in the industry.

She told Vanity Fair she had a nervous breakdown while she was still a teenager while working on a campaign for Calvin Klein in the early 1990s.

In 2011, she married rocker Jamie Hince in a star-studded ceremony in a rural Cotswolds village, with former partner Jefferson Hack - the father of her daughter Lila - among the guests.
