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.
