Kate Moss has revealed David Bowie used to call her Smasher.

The 51-year-old supermodel has opened up about her friendship with the late rock icon - who died aged 69 in 2016 - and revealed his unusual nickname for her.

Speaking on BBC Radio 6 Music's new series Music Uncovered - David Bowie: Changeling, she said: "David, who by the way's nickname for me was Smasher, started phoning me on my birthday.

"I didn't need any other presents after that."

A couple of years before the Starman hitmaker died, he had a very special request for his friend.

She recalled: "At the BRIT Awards in 2014 Bowie asked me to accept his Lifetime Achievement Award on his behalf.

"I said I would, as long as I could wear something from his archive.
