Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson and the cast of Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model will be in Dubai this week to film an episode of the reality TV hit show, it has been reported.

Macpherson, one of the world’s most successful models, will be joined by wannabe models desperate to make it through to the next stage of the contest, newspaper 7 Days reported.

The fashion-themed show, now in its eighth season in the UK, recently announced a shake-up of its judging panel for its next season.

The Hills star Whitney Port and male model Tyson Beckford will be joining the show, replacing former X Factor stylist Grace Woodward and model Charley Speed.
