Moss plays herself in the film which tells the tale of 12-year-old cross-dresser Dennis Sims and the reactions his friends and family have to his unusual interest. 

A programme insider said of Kate's acting ability during the shoot: 'Kate Moss was on amazing form on the day of filming, she came in with her agent and was just a dream to work with, she literally charmed everyone, especially our little star Billy Kennedy. 

'It was a total coup to have her involved, thanks to her friend David Walliams putting in the ask'

The source continued: 'The whole thing took four and a half hours to film and we would love to have her back on BBC TV screens soon, we hope she wouldn't rule out another BBC appearance.'
