Supermodel Heidi Klum says she caught head lice from her children and has only been free of the blood-sucking parasites for a few days.
Klum made the revelation on an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", reports femalefirst.co.uk.
She said: "I'm actually lice-free now as of a few days ago. My daughter was itching and then she had to go to the nurse and then they looked and sure enough they found a little egg, and I mean they're beyond small, so we had the lice fairies come over to our house."
When quizzed on what "lice fairies" exactly are, she said: "There are these fairies that come to the house and brush you for hours and get all of these lice out of your hair. They're fairies."
The "America's Got Talent" judge also joked about it, saying: "You get a certificate from the lice fairies when you go to the school because the school wants to know."
Klum has four children with soon-to-be ex-husband Seal.
