Convicted rapist claims to be Naomi Campbell's dad

A convicted rapist has come forward claiming to be Naomi Campbell's dad.

56-year-old Errol Campbell, who was found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl in 1990, is reportedly desperate to contact Naomi, 37, to rebuild their relationship.

'All I want is to be part of her life and for Naomi to acknowledge me before I go to my grave,' he says.

'I'll do DNA tests, anything.'

But Errol wasn't listed as her dad on the birth certificate - and Campbell's mother, Valerie Morris has vehemently denied he is Naomi's father.

'To this day I still don't know why I wasn't listed as her father,' Errol tells a British newspaper.

'When Valerie and I broke up I was still a big part of her life doing school runs and looking after her when Valerie was working.'

'I want nothing from Naomi apart from her love and respect. Is that too much to ask? I believe I'm her dad and I think a DNA test will prove it.'

A spokesman for Valerie said: 'His claims to be Naomi's dad are completely untrue'

Naomi's rep acknowledged the story but declined to comment.
