Cara Delevingne with television debut

21-year-old British model Cara Delevingne who is 'bored of modeling' is going to make her television debut in Tim Frith's drama 'Timeless'.

The story is described as an 'engaging tale of love, loss and hope'.

'Modelling is a great job, and I appreciate everything it has brought me, but it's not my passion. As far back as I can remember I have wanted to act', said Cara.

She will star as Chloe, a young woman who is looking after her great-grandmother Alice, played by Sylvia Syms, while her mother and grandmother are away on a cruise.

Matthew Perry, Jane Horrocks and Ben Whishaw will take part in the production, which will air in the Summer, too.
