Rachel Hunter Dumped by TV Show  9/8/06

New Zealand model Rachel Hunter has been dropped as the presenter of British TV show Make Me a Supermodel.

Hunter presented the first season of the channel Five reality TV show, where a group of wannabe models are pitted against each other in a bid to find the next Kate Moss.

But the 36-year-old ex-wife of musician Rod Stewart has been dropped in favor of 24-year-old BBC presenter Fearne Cotton.

A source says, "Rachel did a good job on the first series but we will be doing live Friday night eviction shows and Fearne is great at live TV."

Cotton says, "I was hooked on the last series. I love the whole fashion industry, so it is the perfect show for me."
