Tyra Banks has rubbished rumours that her days on America’s Next Top Model are numbered.
Earlier this week, a US magazine reported that Tyra was on the outs because of behind-the-scenes tension on the show.
“It’s gotten so bad that Tyra and Jay (photo shoot creative director, Jay Manuel) aren’t speaking,” an insider told OK! magazine.
“Tyra barely interacts with the contestants and only wants to show up on judging day.”
It was also claimed that Tyra wants to concentrate on her talk show, The Tyra Banks Show.
“She’s really throwing all her weight behind her talk show,” another source told the mag.
“She’s putting lots of pressure on her staff to keep her show on the map. She had Barack Obama on, she had Hilary Clinton on -she got a taste of playing with the big boys and now ‘Top Model’ seems to detract from her big plans.”
However, Tyra's rep denies the story, telling Usmagazine.com, "The rumors about Tyra leaving and the fight with Jay are NOT TRUE!"
