Hmmmm. Cara Delevingne wanting to launch a music career is sort of believable. But the bit about "being mentored by Sinitta"- AKA the woman who had one hit single in the 80s and has been swinging out of Simon Cowell ever since - is a bridge too far.

Despite this, rumours are doing the rounds involving the supermodel turning to the 80s pop star in a rumoured attempt to crack the charts.

Sinitta told the London Evening Standard: "It's a top-secret project and it's true that I'm helping her as a mentor."

When probed further about the Burberry model's music plans, Simon Cowell's ex-missus replied: "I'm sorry, I just can't answer that."

Rumours about Cara branching out into music surfaced when she was spotted leaving the London offices of Simon's SyCo record label earlier this year.

And Sinitta - who has regularly helped Simon choose his finalists on singing contest The X Factor in the past (nothing to do with how she looks in a palm leaf bikini) - says she plans to share the knowledge the music mogul has given her over the course of her career with Cara.

She teased: "It's about finding people who have natural passion and doing what Simon did with me: help them focus their creativity and ideas in a positive direction and give them an outlet."

This news comes mere months after Cara launched an acting career with a role in Sky Arts TV drama Timeless and upcoming British film Kids in Love.
