As a supermodel, she has earned a sizeable fortune from her beauty and poise.
But now Kate Moss seems to be taking inspiration from a rather less elegant figure: Les Dawson’s frumpy alter-ego Ada Shufflebotham.
During a recent outing in London, the model appeared to do a remarkable impression of the late comedian’s best-known character, especially when she forcefully heaved up her bust from beneath.
Gossiping animatedly with friends on the terrace of a Central London bar, Moss’s range of gurning grimaces also bore a striking resemblance to the faces pulled by Dawson’s disapproving housewife.
Moss spent an hour-and-a-half enjoying an alfresco drink with two friends, both of whom seemed entertained by the model’s antics.
While her gestures and expressions were every inch the hangdog Northern comedian, her dress sense was rather smarter than Ada’s staid frocks and cardigans, as she chose instead a chic black jacket.
Manchester-born Dawson, who died of a heart attack at the age of 62 in 1993, regularly appeared in drag as battleaxe Ada alongside Coronation Street star Roy Barraclough’s equally gossipy housewife Cissie Braithwaite.
Moss is no stranger to the world of comedy. In March this year, she appeared in a Comic Relief sketch alongside her friend Sadie Frost and comedienne Katy Brand, playing a prim and proper teacher at a fashion school.
The 35-year-old is scaling back her modelling work and increasingly turning to designing, having already produced several fashion ranges for Topshop.
She has also launched her own fragrance and appeared in a string of music videos.
But there was also little sign of her party reputation on her afternoon out. She enjoyed just a few drinks with her friends – and there was no sign of her musician boyfriend, Kills guitarist Jamie Hince.
