Blogger BryanBoy has signed on to join the upcoming season of America's Next Top Model, amidst a series of changes to the modelling reality series.

The internationally-acclaimed blogger, who set up his blog in 2004, tweeted the news, saying 'Excited with my new role on cycle 19 of America's Next Top Model' followed by 'A new chapter is about to begin soon'.

Though it has not been confirmed in what capacity the blogger and fashion writer will feature on the show, rumours suggest he could be in line for a seat on the judging panel.

The blogger, real name Bryan Grey Yambao, has already relocated to Los Angeles to participate in the upcoming season, indicating that his role could span the duration of cycle 19. He reportedly earns €100,000 a year from his blogging and personal appearances, while his blog receives 1.4million page views per month.
