Singer Rita Ora will reportedly replace Tyra Banks as the host of US TV show "America's Next Top Model".
The 25-year-old singer quit the British version of "The X Factor" earlier this year to concentrate on her music career, reported Femalefirst.
"Rita is in a dream world as she's landed the ultimate gig. She'll be mixing her two passions of fashion and music and taking over from a TV institution in Tyra," a source said.
"'Next Top Model' bosses wanted to inject some freshness back into the format and they see Rita as the ideal new face. She is releasing a new single later this year to coincide with it," the source added.
The show ran for 22 series over the space of 12 years before the CW Network pulled it last year but it has been picked up again by VH1 and former host Tyra will remain as an executive producer.
