Kate Moss Recalls David Bowie's Iconic 'B*****' Joke: A Story of Star Banter and Bonds

Kate Moss Uncovers David Bowie's Sassy Side: Supermodel Brands Star a 'B' for Mocking Her Post-Baby Figure**

In a hilarious revelation, Kate Moss has let loose about her close friend and style icon, David Bowie. The 51-year-old supermodel, who was deeply affected by Bowie's passing in 2016, recently recorded a BBC Radio 6 Music podcast exploring the singer's artistic evolution between 1970-1975. During the conversation, Kate couldn't help but laugh about Bowie's cheeky remark when she struggled to fit into one of his iconic outfits after giving birth to her daughter, Lila.

In an exclusive chat with Nick Grimshaw on the radio show, Kate confessed that Bowie poked fun at her figure, saying: "So I hear the clothes didn’t really fit you?" She playfully branded him a 'b**' and added, "He was such a bch! He really was quite cutting." But, as Kate pointed out, that's what made him so fabulous - his wicked sense of humor.

Kate famously wore the singer's jumpsuit to 2014 BRITs, however a decade earlier she'd struggled to squeeze into his get up following the birth of daughter Lila (Bowie pictured 1973)

The model, who famously wore one of Bowie's Kansai Yamamoto jumpsuits to the 2014 BRIT Awards on his behalf, revealed that she first met Bowie in 2003 during an interview for Q magazine. She jokingly said that he was "nocturnal" due to his love of cocaine during their time working together.

Kate's candid conversation about her relationship with Bowie provides a glimpse into the star's private side. The two were close friends, and Kate has always spoken highly of him in interviews. However, it seems that even the most iconic stars aren't immune to making jokes at each other's expense.

In a poignant moment during the podcast, Kate discussed her last communication with Bowie before his untimely death. She revealed that she had sent him a birthday message on January 8th, 2016, which included a film of herself singing "Mr. Bojangles." Tragically, Bowie passed away just hours later.

She laughed: 'I was just so happy because the last time I¿d worn his clothes, I couldn't get in them properly, because it, you know, it was just after I¿d had a baby' (pictured 2005)

'When I interviewed him for Q [their first meeting in 2003] he was like:

Lulu, who is set to tour the UK later this month, has previously spoken about her 'amazing' relationship with Bowie. She revealed that they shared a strong sexual chemistry, which brought them together. However, their time working on music was marked by his spiraling addiction and struggling career.

The singer also hinted at the existence of lost songs recorded during their collaboration, but admitted that nobody knows where these tracks are now.
