Jasmine Lennard has been booted off Make Me a Supermodel Extra on Five's sister station Five Lite for insulting judge Rachel Hunter.
The 21-year-old had been handed a presenting role on the spin-off programme after appearing on the reality TV show, which gives young hopefuls a chance to win a modelling contract, in its first series.
But producers Tiger Aspect have sacked Lennard after she dubbed the 37-year-old judge "Rachel munter".
Lennard, an ex-flame of pop mogul Simon Cowell, came to blows with Hunter on the show's first series when she said she was "spotty, finished and fat".
"I suggest she throws out the truckload of make-up she uses and hires a personal trainer," she added of Hunter, who used to be a model herself and is the ex-wife of rocker Rod Stewart.
A statement from Tiger Aspect said they had no choice but to sack Lennard after she insulted "our main panel judge and established face of the show".
"It was very clear in her contract that no derogatory comments were to be made about any of the panel who in the first series eliminated her in the early stages.
"As she broke this we sadly had no choice but to sack her," the statement added.
