The real reason Kate Moss is so publicity shy

Kate Moss may be one of the world's most famous faces but she has always been notoriously publicity-shy, having given just a handful of magazine interviews in 13 years.

The reason, I can now reveal, stems from a TV interview the model, 34, gave on the Big Breakfast in 1995 alongside then boyfriend Johnny Depp.

The actor's agent advised Kate not to repeat the exercise.

"He told her it would create more of an air of mystery around her," says a source.
