Naomi Campbell has seemingly become the victim of an autocorrect fail after congratulating 'Malaria' on their Nobel Peace Prize.

The model was referring to Malala Yousafzai, who became the youngest recipient of the award yesterday.

But it looks like her tweet was autocorrected before it was sent to her 294,000 followers:

Ms Yousafzai (17) won the prize jointly with Indian man Kailash Satyarthi "for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education."

In a statement, the Nobel committee said: "Despite her youth, Malala Yousafzai has already fought for several years for the right of girls to education, and has shown by example that children and young people, too, can contribute to improving their own situations."

Malala's speech has been posted online:
