The American model and best pal of Naomi Campbell tells us that wannabes need to be all-singing and all-dancing as well as drop-dead gorgeous if they want to make it.

“I believe the era of myself, Naomi, Claudia and Kate has gone now,” the 37-year-old told us at the ThisDay music and fashion festival in Nigeria.

“Models are trained to act, sing and dance now because the bar is set so high and you have to stand out.

“It’s difficult to be a household name these days, with so many reality stars that have no talent. But if you can get your 15 minutes of fame then I’d say take it!”

Tyson, who admitted he’s been on a strict water and tuna diet to get back into modelling, attended the festival with his chum Naomi.

“We were talking about coming to Nigeria and Naomi joked, ‘Well, if I get kidnapped, you’re gonna get kidnapped too!’”

How reassuring...
