Her life has been a well–documented rollercoaster of scandals and celebrity break–ups but now I can reveal Kate Moss has taken up a surprising – almost pious – role in her community.
I hear the 51–year–old model was 'instrumental' in organising the Nativity play in her Cotswolds village this Christmas.
Mossy's involvement, I'm told, was down to a parish councillor, with whom she has struck up a friendship.
The pair have become close and regularly share a cup of tea together.
Over the years, Kate has been involved in several church matters, including managing the rota, greeting visitors, managing the collection, and helping with services.
The supermodel purchased a palatial property in the Costwolds more than a decade ago, but officially swapped London for rural life around five years ago.
She is regularly seen in her local village by neighbours and is a devoted fan of the nearby Budgens supermarket, says my source.

Kate previously shared the home with her former boyfriend Nikolai von Bismark, until they split in January last year after nine years together.
Sources say their split was a result of their 'different priorities'.
Kate reportedly felt ready to 'get back out there' and enjoy the social whirl again, while Nikolai, despite being 13 years her junior, preferred a quieter life.
But surely there can't be anything quieter than helping out at the village Nativity?
Notting Hill pub The Cow was overrun by young royals last week.
Princess Margaret's grandchildren Lady Margarita Armstrong Jones and Sam Chatto were joined by the Duke of Kent's grandson Eddy Downpatrick.
I hope the red carpet came out!
On the write side of history
Helena Bonham Carter certainly does her homework before taking on a role, calling upon her 95–year–old aunt Renata to scrutinise Princess Margaret's handwriting before playing her in The Crown.

'She can detect what's going on in you. It's quite complex,' the actress says.
But there are downsides for graphologist Renata: 'Nobody writes to her any more – they don't want a psychological MRI!'
Lovebirds Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz have been spotted on dates in Rome and New York – and now they've touched down in Germany.
My spies saw the glamorous duo in Berlin last week after leaving ultra–exclusive techno club Berghain, famous – or infamous – for its uninhibited sex–positive atmosphere.
Actress Zoe, 37, and pop star Styles, 31, have been linked since August, when the pair were reportedly 'snogging like teenagers' at Rita's restaurant in Soho.
Styles has since met Zoe's father, the legendary rock star Lenny Kravitz.
Lola is the height of sophistication
It seems Lady Lola Bute is taking her well documented exhibitionism to a new level, and this time it's not only her 49,000 Instagram followers who are in for a treat… it's her West London neighbours too.

The daughter of the late 7th Marquess of Bute has had a shower installed on the roof of her flat
As my exclusive picture shows, the daughter of the late 7th Marquess of Bute, aka racing driver Johnny Dumfries, has had a shower installed on the roof of her flat. Bizarre!
King Charles is a notoriously picky eater, as former royal cooks have attested. So it was bold of the Monarch to opt for a 'menu–free' meal at The Fat Badger in Notting Hill, where chefs decide what diners eat.
He was there with actor and gourmand Stanley Tucci, having struck up a friendship when the American star visited Highgrove in February.
Poor Freddie's now got the heir's hair...
I hear Lord Freddie Windsor is not best pleased about his receding hairline, though not for reasons you might think.
'Since I started losing my hair, people confuse me more and more with Prince William,' the 54th in line to the throne told me at the UnHerd Christmas party in Westminster.
If you can't tell the difference, Lord Freddie's on the left and William is on the right
Lord Freddie was even accosted at an LA farmers' market by credulous Americans who took him for the Prince of Wales.
He added: 'I find it insulting because I'm less bald than him.'
If you can't tell the difference, above, he's on the left and William is on the right.
Supermodel Claudia Schiffer looked suitably festive as she stocked up on Christmas gifts last week.
Claudia, 55, dropped in to Daylesford Organic, Lady Bamford's swanky farm shop in the Cotswolds, posing with the owner's daughter–in–law Leo.
The farm shop is a honeypot for celebs, with the Beckhams, Ellie Goulding and Eddie Redmayne among its regular customers.
