Model Abbey Clancy is all set to add glamour in the BBC's upcoming comedy 'Absolutely Fabulous' as she has joined the cast of the sitcom.

The forthcoming sitcom, created and written by Jennifer Saunders, will also feature cameo appearances of rapper Tinie Tempah, singer Lulu and 'Game of Thrones' actress Gwendoline Christie, stand-up comedian Rebel Wilson, Kim Kardashian and British supermodels Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, the Guardian reports.

It is being said that Saunders and Joanna Lumley have already been working on the film for a year now.

The series will feature the 57-year-old comedienne as Edina Monsoon, a heavy-drinking, drug-abusing PR agent, who spends her time chasing bizarre fads in a desperate attempt to stay young and "hip."

The sitcom is based on a 1990 French & Saunders sketch, created by Saunders and Dawn French.
