We expected the eagerly awaited Absolutely Fabulous movie to have appearances from some of the big names in British fashion, but it seems the classic comedy's reach has gone global.

And none other than Kim Kardashian is reported to have been lined-up for a cameo in the feature film - which will of course star Joannna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders and which will start filming at London Fashion Week next month.

The Mirror quoted an insider as saying: "Kim is a huge name, and she's in town for fashion week and loved the idea of being involved.

"Getting her on board is a massive coup for the film, but also a big deal for Kim - Absolutely Fabulous is an iconic name around the world, so it's an honour to be part of it."

It's been confirmed by Saunders herself that Moss will be repeating her hugely popular 2012 cameo.

"I can confirm Kate does have a part," she told The Mirror. "It's not yet decided whether she'll have a speaking part but she'll definitely be in it.

"She's a big fan of the show and we're pals so, aside from the fact she's the definitive model, it was a no-brainer.

"There'll also be a bit of Spice with Emma Bunton and Lulu.

"I've only just got the green light so I'm still tweaking the script. And I'm trying not to over-egg it."
