Dickinson 'thought Tyra Banks was male'

Janice Dickinson has slammed Tyra Banks's weight and appearance.

Dickinson starred alongside Banks on the America's Next Top Model panel for four seasons, but was axed in 2005.

Speaking on Alan Carr's Chatty Man show, she said: "I made that show a hit. Can you imagine for five [sic] seasons just sitting next to Miss Tyra Banks and listening to her go off?"

She added: "You could land a helicopter on her forehead. It's huge."

Dickinson admitted that she had been fired from the show after she called Banks "fat" and added: "She was huge! [Her legs] are huge. Well, she's a big woman.

"I used to think she was a man, I kept looking for... I was always looking, thinking, 'Something isn't right here'."
