Model Kate Upton doesn't find any humour in rumours about herself as her family members tend to believe stories about her and question her.

The 22-year-old says it drives her "crazy" as her mother scolds her about the untrue stories she reads in the press.

"Reading things about myself that aren't true drives me crazy! I've managed to block it out, but my family really hasn't," Upton told vogue.co.uk.

"So they'll read about me and then call me up saying, 'Are you alright? I saw this happened' and my mum will call and say, 'Well, I saw you went to Vegas, when you could have come to the family reunion...' and I'm like, 'Mum, I swear, I'm in Europe!' It's insane," she added.
