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!'
