Fashion icon Twiggy has quit her role as judge on America's Next Top Model after five seasons on the show.
The 58-year-old model has worked on the TV programme since 2003 but was forced to pull out due to 'scheduling conflicts'.
Czech supermodel Paulina Porizkova will replace Twiggy on the show, which is fronted by model Tyra Banks.
US TV network CW released a statement saying: "We would like to thank Twiggy for her great contributions to the show. Having an icon like Twiggy lend us her considerable expertise has elevated our show to a whole new level.
"We wish her well in her endeavours and hope to collaborate with her in future cycles of ANTM as well as other projects."
Porizkova was last seen on Dancing With The Stars but she was voted off in the first round.
