UK 'Next Top Model' planned

LivingTV is planning a UK version of America's Next Top Model, according to this week's Broadcast.

The series, which ranked as Living's third most popular programme in August, follows wannabe supermodels as they compete for a top modelling contract.

The channel's director of programmes, Richard Woolfe, told the magazine that the show would be one of his biggest commissions in 2005, adding that a launch was being planned for next May.

Living has previously produced UK versions of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy and The Swan.
