Sexy Tyra Banks wants to quit the runway for the TV screen. The supermodel who has been catwalking since her teens, doesn’t want to show off her cleavage to the public as aVictoria’s Secret model.

The first black model which appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated 's Swimsuit issue, and world- famous for her curves, Tyra Banks wants to stop showing her body and plans to concentrate on her TV career.

"I've been the sexpot-type model kinda girl for so long - I've been modelling since I was 15, Contactmusic.com quoted the beauty as saying.

"Now I'm doing a talk show and moving into other areas, I'm hosting these girls and being a den mother on my model show, so it's time to retire all this, I think."

The catwalk beauty is now hosting the reality TV show America's New Top Model, and her new project The Tyra Banks Show is to debut this fall on 19 Fox-owned TV stations.
