Moss apologised last year "to all the people I have let down" and admitted she had a number of personal matters to resolve following allegations of cocaine use.

Her problems began in September after a tabloid newspaper published pictures of her allegedly snorting cocaine.

Ms Moss (31) has been modelling for more than half her life after being spotted when she was 14.

Her image hinged on scandal from the beginning, when her skinny limbs and panda eyes kickstarted the trend for what newspapers dubbed "heroin chic", a look some designers exploited and fetishised in their advertising campaigns at the time.

Ever since, much of Ms Moss's appeal has relied on her lifestyle and unconventional behaviour: she is rarely photographed without a cigarette and she poledanced her way through a music video for the White Stripes in a bikini, all of which added to her glamorous image in the eyes of the fashion world.

She has admitted taking drugs in the past, but had insisted that was no longer the case.
