Project Runway host Heidi Klum says her newborn daughter is “great”.

The 36-year-old has recently welcomed little Lou into the world and admits that she won’t leave her side.

Heidi, who married singer Seal back in 2005, told Extra: “I mean it’s a little bit hard because she’s very attached to me still. She doesn’t drink from the bottle.

“That’s a little bit of an issue right now!”

Klum also mentioned that she won’t be spending Valentine’s Day with her husband Seal, 46, but she plans to make it up to him with a home-made package.

She added: “I’m not going to be with him, I’m going to be in New York for fashion week.”

Project Runway will hit the airwaves for a seventh season on the Lifetime television network next month, the network has announced.

The host will be the wildly popular supermodel Heidi Klum, the mentor Tim Gunn and the judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Sixteen competitors will face off in the hope of winning a coveted opportunity to show a collection at the New York Fashion Week, Lifetime announced. The first show will go to air on January 14.

Klum, meanwhile, wowed the audience when she stepped back onto the catwalk at the recent Victoria’s Secret show in New York. But Klum, who gave birth to her fourth child, a daughter, only five weeks ago, looked in great shape in her purple corset covered with a half gown with tulle poufs.

The winner of the seventh season of Project Runway – which has spun off around the world – will receive an editorial feature in Marie Claire, the chance to sell their line on Bluefly.com, a $50,000 technology suite by HP and Intel and $100,000 in cash from L’Oréal Paris.

Actress Kerry Washington has become the latest Project Runway celebrity judge.

The Fantastic Four star joined German supermodel Heidi Klum on the hit fashion design show as another wannabe was cut.

Washington is the new spokesman for L’Oréal, appearing in ads alongside Scarlett Johansson and Eva Longoria Parker.

Washington and her fellow judges were asked to give their opinions on complementary pieces to go with previous designs they had sent down the runway.

Heidi Klum is a saucy pregnant mum.

The model looked ’swell’ as she appeared on Ellen Degeneres’s show and revealed she covered herself in chocolate to satisfy her cravings.

Heidi – who is due to give birth to her fourth child, a daughter, within days – said she loved smearing chocolate sauce all over her body.

“It was after a photoshoot and we didn’t really have many clothes.

“I felt like chocolate said I said, ‘I would love to be covered in chocolate’.

“Someone ran out to the store and got seven or eight bottles and poured it over me.

“It was yummy.”

The photo is part of a new book by Klum called Heidilicious, a coffee table collection of mostly nude snaps of the star.

Supermodel Heidi Klum has guest-edited an issue of Vogue Magazine that is all about her, according to reports.

The model wore many hats for the June German edition of Vogue, which features a 140-page spread titled "Heidi by Vogue". Her cover photo carries a striking and dramatic black and white evening theme.

She said: “I love all the stories so much that I don’t favour any of them.”

She continued: “I grew up reading German Vogue and was really excited when they came to me with the idea for the ‘Heidi by VOGUE’ issue.

It was a thrill working with the team of photographers, hair stylists, make-up artists and editors. We shot the entire issue in one week – it was a group effort!”

And while it doesn’t look like she’ll be quitting her multitude of day jobs just yet, she said, “I would love the opportunity to be involved in a magazine like this again. I’m always up for a challenge."
