Elle Macpherson won't host 'Fashion Star' season two

Elle Macpherson will not host Fashion Star's second season, it has been announced.

Macpherson has confirmed that she will remain as an executive producer for the NBC reality competition, but will no longer have an on-air role.















The supermodel told Page Six: "I have been involved with Fashion Star from the beginning, and am very proud to see it come to life, not only in America but globally.

"The show is in great hands, and although I will not be hosting this season, I will still be very involved [and] will be reviewing the format for the upcoming season."

Major format changes are expected to be made for the new season, including ending H&M's sponsorship of the show.

An insider has also claimed that Fashion Star might eliminate the concept of a host entirely rather than replace Macpherson.

Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson and John Varvatos are expected to remain as judges.

Fashion Star wrapped up its first season in May, with designer Kara Laricks winning her own capsule collection worth $6m.

The series was renewed by NBC in May.
