(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Tyra Banks says that her big forehead has helped her insecure fans.

The America's Next Top Model host told OK! Magazine that she is glad she is outspoken about what she is self-conscious about because it inspires others to not feel so bad.

Tyra has always spoken about making her large forehead work for her in her successful modelling career and says that she has had some great experiences with fans while promoting her new book Modelland.

"It's just so touching. Some girls come into my arms and are crying about their insecurities," she told the publication.

"There was one girl at Barnes & Noble Union Square who just started crying, she could hardly talk because she said her forehead was big and she feels so insecure about it.

"But me having a big forehead helps her every single day. But her hair was slicked back in a bun so I was like you're not that insecure about it!"

Tyra did not comment on recent reports that her current judge Andr Leon Talley was being replaced in the next season of America's Next Top Model by fashion PR guru Kelly Cutrone. (C) Cover Media
