Iggy Azalea has been confirmed to host a new series of MTV's House of Style.

The Australian rapper will preside over the fashion show, which originally ran between 1989 and 2000.

Commenting on the news, the 'Fancy' star said that she is looking forward to bringing the programme to a new audience.

She said: "I am so excited to bring back this iconic show for another generation of teenagers.

"The biggest impact that House of Style had on pop culture is its ability to make fashion fun and interesting to fans who are both diehard fashionistas or not at all."

The series will last for eight episodes, with the first airing in the US on August 4.

Azalea will examine the latest fashion trends and also visit music video sets.
