The America's Next Top Model star, 6ft2in, whose waist can be held in a man's hands

Can this really be healthy? J Alexander puts his hands around a contestant's waist on the new series of America's Next Top Model

Her waist is so tiny it fits in a man's hands.

But at 6ft2in, can this stick-thin America's Next Top Model contestant really be healthy?

Thin-waisted Ann stuns supermodel Tyra Banks and the judging panel as she auditions in a promo for the new series.

When Tyra first sees Ann she tells her: 'You have the smallest waist in the world. Look at that waist!'

But she soon gets over her surprise and admits: 'There's something about her I quite like.'

Fellow judge Miss J. Alexander looks even more shocked than Tyra.

Stick-thin: The model, Ann, is 6ft2in tall

He gets up and puts his hands around Ann's waist to show just how thin she is - and finds they can touch on either side.

Catwalk queen and TV host Tyra famously became an unofficial spokesperson for full-figured women after gaining 30lbs four years ago.

But she was seen looking gaunt during a visit to London last month.

The new series of America's Next Top Model starts in the U.S. in September on The CW.
