Kate Moss makes surprising career switch to host podcast on David Bowie
Kate Moss ' next career move has been revealed as she's landed a new presenting role for a BBC Radio 6 podcast on David Bowie. The supermodel, 51, will host an eight-part podcast series called David Bowie: Changeling, which will explore David's artistic evolution between 1970-1975. The show will also feature rare and unheard archive interviews from David, who died of liver cancer aged 69 in 2016. The podcast will also reveal an exclusive interview from 2001 with podcast creator Des Shaw, in addition to a recently unearthed audio from the BBC Archive. Career switch: Kate Moss goes from supermodel to presenter as she's set to present a new podcast on the life of David Bowie Speaking about her surprising new project, Kate said in a statement: 'David Bowie was a very special person. Someone who was much more than a friend - he was an enigma. 'So, when the chance came to dive into this extraordinary five-year chapter of Bowie's life for 6 Music and BBC Sounds, hearing from those who joined him on his creative journey and those he continues to inspire, I was excited to help share the story of such an incredible transformation. This podcast is a real celebration of my friend, a true British icon.' Episodes of the show will also explore David's early performances with The Hype, his fascination with artist Andy Warhol and the creation of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars. Kate and David were close friends for around a decade before his death. Back in 2016, the year of his passing, Kate revealed David made fun of her because she couldn't get into his outfits. She admitted in an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music that the late singer was so slim that even she couldn't fit into his clothes. Kate did a number of shoots with David and even collected a BRIT award on his behalf in his famous attire in 2014, when she admitted getting into his clothes was a tight squeeze. Asked if the claims were true, Kate was quick to quip: 'Yeah, it didn't fit me! When I saw him after that he was like "mmm, I heard the clothes didn't fit". All right, rubbing it in!'

Sturgeon says she could foster a child if her life ‘calms down sufficiently'
She said that in her time in charge at Holyrood work with youngsters in care had 'got under my skin and into my heart in a way few other things have done'. However, speaking at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, she conceded: 'I don't know if my life will ever be calm enough to be the right environment for a vulnerable child.' She said that as a result of her previous involvement with children in the care system she was of the view that 'you should never foster a child to fill some gap in yourself or in your own life, it should all be about the child'. Former Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon spoke about the prospect of fostering when she appeared at the Edinburgh International Book Festival (Jane Barlow/PA) The former first minister suffered a miscarriage in 2010, but made clear that she would not want to foster 'because of my loss of a child and me not having children'. She went on to state that 'if my life ever calms down sufficiently yes, it is something I would like to consider doing, but I would only do it if I absolutely thought I could give a child the right environment'. Her comments came as she told the audience at the event she was enjoying a 'delayed adolescence'. Having separated from her husband, former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell, earlier this year, she said she is 'enjoying single life'. She also got her first tattoo, and 'might get another one', with the former first minster stating: 'Because I got involved in politics so young, I was so focused, so single-minded, a lot of the stuff people tend to do when they are younger, I passed by. 'I am living a delayed adolescence.'
