'I've asked Kate Moss to do The Face': Naomi Campbell calls in a supermodel favour as show tipped to land second series

Naomi Campbell has revealed she’s asked model friend Kate Moss to be on her TV show, The Face, which is tipped for a second series.

Naomi, who not only hosts the show and coaches the contestants but is also the Executive Producer for the show, said: ‘I asked Kate Moss to do the Face, I asked her last night! I have faith.’

The show, which is aired on Sky Living, aims to find the 'new face' of British modelling by asking contestants to compete in various tasks including speed-styling and the art of runway walking. 

 

Model behavior: Naomi, who is the executive producer of the show, told BBC Radio 1 of her plans for the show's second British season

Speaking on BBC Radio 1’s breakfast show the supermodel explained she was nervous about the show airing in Britain: ‘I was nervous in a positive way because most people

say they don't know what I'm like.

‘I was nervous about how I would be perceived because it's in England and this is where I was born.

‘For me, the nerves are just to show that it's accepted and understood for what it is and it's true and authentic.'

The Face began this September in a primetime slot, but viewing figures weren’t as high as expected with Broadcast magazine reporting the show drawing in just 132,000 viewers for its first episode.

Despite this, the show has been commissioned for a second series in the US and looks to be headed for a second series in the UK too - with Naomi heading up both simultaneously.

Do me a favour: Naomi Campbell has asked model friend Kate Moss to join her on Sky Living TV series The Face

With a worldwide modelling career spanning several decades, you’d think Naomi was used to looking at herself in front of the camera, but the model revealed it was ‘a bit strange’.
She said: ‘When I'm here I watch it. I've been here twice so I've been able to see it.
‘It's a bit strange watching myself.’
She added: ‘When I watch it I'm working, doing the social media stuff. I'm not really watching watching.’
The supermodel was taking part in a prank-calling feature on Radio 1 called Call or Delete.

She suffered a forfeit and as a result had to call famed New York club owner/restaurateur Richie Akiva and convince him that Lady Gaga wanted him to build a nightclub for her to perform in, the next day in London.

The big question: Naomi Campbell has asked model Kate Moss to be a coach on her TV show The Face. The star revealed she called her to ask if she'd consider being a coach on the Sky Living show

Naomi began the conversation saying: 'You've got 24 hours to get a 1OAK London up. Lady Gaga wants to perform there tomorrow evening.'
She continued: 'She wants dolphins... Or you could offer some kind of cat - a tiger, or a lion. We can go to the zoo and ask them if we can borrow an animal.'
To which the stunned club-owner dutifully replied: 'We can sort that.'

While on the BBC breakfast show, Naomi tried to recruit radio host Nick Grimshaw to walk the catwalk at her next charity fashion show.

She said: ‘The next Fashion for Relief I organise, you are walking the runway!

‘We are trying to get one together in January for LA, would you come out to LA?’

To which Nick, who is close friends with several models such as Kate Moss and Pixie Geldof, said: ‘For fashion, yes!’
