Heidi Klum has come to Justin Bieber's defence following images which appeared to show the popstar touching Heidi's chest. "He was totally not touching me", Heidi said on Saturday, two days after amfAR's 21st Cinema Against AIDS Gala at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday where the picture was taken. "It maybe looks like that because sometimes in pictures things look a little... I’m like, what are they talking about?" the  Project Runway host continued, showing her bewilderment at the furore surrounding the snap.

Speaking to Hamptons magazine at a party, the supermodel also added that  the 20-year-old Baby singer was "very polite and very nice."

Heidi and Justin were both at Thursday's world-renowned charity event which has been held each year during the Cannes Film Festival since 1993 and is chaired by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

Also at the event were current supermodels Jourdan Dunn, Karlie Kloss, and Chanel Iman, as well as Jessica Chastain, Lara Stone, and Marion Cotillard.

Heidi attended the annual event with 27-year-old boyfriend Vito Schnabel. Heidi and Vito, who are said to have been dating for around four months, were not embarrassed to show their love for each other as they engaged in public displays of affection. Vito, the son of artist Julian Schnabel, is no stranger to dating A-list adies who are older than him. The New York-born art dealer was romantically linked to 49-year-old Elle Macpherson in 2012 and in 2010 he dated actress Liv Tyler, who is nine years his senior.
