Kate Moss is to become a TV star — Simon Cowell has signed her up to be a judge on a new Battle of the Bands-style TV show.

The British supermodel, 35, will sit on a panel of experts in the search to discover a new supergroup to rival the likes of Oasis and Coldplay.

The show, the first project between Cowell and Topshop billionaire Sir Philip Green, is expected to launch in the US with a British spin-off following later.

“Kate is absolutely cock-a-hoop about her move into TV,” a source told Britain’s Sunday Mirror newspaper. “She’s been looking for a big global project to get her teeth into for some time and the waiting has paid off.

“This show is going to blow every other reality series out of the water.

“Kate is thrilled to be part of it from the start. She’s a huge music fan and everyone knows her knack of picking out new trendy bands.

“It’s one of the few areas outside fashion she feels totally confident to speak her mind.”

Moss is good friends with Green — three years ago, the pair joined forces to launch her fashion range in his stores.
