Tyra Banks’ legendary America’s Next Top Model is set for a big British revamp with a brilliant twist.

The presenter, 47, has fronted the hit fashion reality show for twenty years and also served as an executive producer on the series. But now it looks like there's a new fly-on-the-wall reality show coming off the back of it.

New Model Agency will follow inclusive modelling agency Zebedee Talent and the means it won't just be the usual leggy models we usually seen thrown down the catwalk. The diverse casting will see things taken in a totally different direction and fans already can't wait.

Filming is said to have already begun and Channel 4 will be bringing the talent hunt to life, it has been reported. Fans will have to wait until next year to see the show come to life. Zebedee Talent, the agency which already represents big names like Down syndrome model Ellie Goldstein and vitiligo sufferer Jasroop Singh, are heavily involved.

A TV source told the Sun: “Fashion isn’t just about needle-thin, glossy-skinned men and women any more and the industry has taken huge leaps to keep up with a changing world and designers’ shifting priorities. New Model Agency follows a young, diverse and dynamic cast of models as they work hard and hustle to make their mark in the fashion industry.
