Safety guidelines were stringently adhered to on Friday as an unrecognisable Heidi Klum returned to work on the set of Germany’s Next Top Model. 

The Los Angeles based supermodel is back in her home country to work as a judge on the new series, with the production continuing in capital city Berlin despite the ongoing threat of COVID-19. 

And Heidi, 47, ensured her protective mask was firmly in place as she filmed her latest segment in an abandoned building in the snowy city’s Kreuzberg district.

Accompanied by a small production team, the model’s features were well covered as she waited to shoot a segment for the forthcoming show. 

Despite chilly conditions Heidi caught the eye courtesy of her sweeping leopard print winter coat and matching crepe-soled boots. 

She added to her look with an oversized patterned cardigan and faux-leather trousers, while a simple black woolen hat rounded things off.

Heidi has travelled to Germany with musician husband Tom Kaulitz and her four children while fulfilling work commitments on the show, which is expected to launch on February 4th. 

She shares Leni, 16, Henry, 15, Johan, 14, and Lou, 11, with ex-husband Seal – who adopted Leni when the couple married more than a decade ago. 

As part of an agreement with the singer, if there is an impending closure due to COVID-19, Heidi is to ‘immediately make arrangements in an effort to return home with the children before the borders close.’

Heidi filed an emergency motion in August after Seal refused to allow their children to travel with her for work in Europe due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The pair soon came to an agreement that allowed him to receive ‘expanded time’ with the children when they returned.

Heidi was seen returning to Los Angeles with her family on January 5th, but has since returned to Germany on behalf of her forthcoming show.
