Cara Delevingne was filmed shoving a member of the paparazzi apparently blocking her way as she tried to enter a restaurant.

The model was travelling to the L’Avenue restaurant in Paris after attending the Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week.

Footage shows her fellow model Kendall Jenner and the designer Karl Lagerfeld pulling up in a car outside the restaurant, where a scrum of photographers were waiting. Jenner and Lagerfield entered the restaurant first, followed by Delevingne, who suddenly turned around and pushed a man before following the pair inside.

Delevingne could be heard saying, “I pushed him! I pushed him!” as she ran into the restaurant, followed by her girlfriend, the singer Annie Clark.

Delevigne has lambasted paparazzi for invading her privacy by camping out in front of her home and obstructing her movement in public.

The 23-year-old accused male photographers of objectifying her, treating her like a “zoo animal”, and preventing her from living in her native city.

In an angry message to the photographers hounding her during London Fashion Week, she wrote: ”The paparazzi only get worse! I am not complaining but I just find it sad that I can't live in my own city because for that reason.

“If only I could make you feel the way you make me feel, I just hope that outside of this, you are able to feel empathy for others.

“I refuse to let these grown men treat people like objects with no feelings and get away with it, I will never be silent.“
