Best known to the world as ‘The Body’ and with several fashion credentials including her own lingerie label, Elle Macpherson seems to be a good choice for the new TV host of Britain’s Next Top Model… much better choice than her predecessor, Lisa Snowdon, who was predominantly known for being George Clooney’s ex-girlfriend.

“I am really enthusiastic and motivated to work with the team of Britain’s Next Top Model,” Macpherson said. “We are looking forward to finding the face that can represent the next generation.”

BNTM’s next series, which will again follow young hopefuls competing for a modeling contract, is expected to air on British channel Living this year.

“Wow! The instant you meet Elle, you understand what puts her in the
superleague of supermodels,” said Claudia Rosencrantz, the channel director. “She has a unique combination of stunning beauty, compelling screen presence and razor-sharp business instincts, which will make her an inspiration for Britain’s aspiring models.”
