Kelly Brook (born Kelly Ann Parsons on
November 23, 1979) is an English model, actress, and
sometime swimwear designer and television presenter.
Biography: After leaving school in Rochester,
Brook studied at the Italia Conti stage school in London
for three years before becoming a professional model.
She is currently engaged to actor Billy Zane, having
previously dated actor Jason Statham.
Kelly Brook was born on 23 November
1979, in England in the town of Chatham, Kent. Kelly is
a model, TV personality and actress. This hot young star
began her career by winning a beauty contest that her
mother had entered her in. Kelly ended up working as a
model, initially for a local flooring company and
supplemented her income working as a waitress.
Discovered by the Daily Star, Kelly started to appear in
various British men's magazines like "Loaded".
The British tabloids were also not slow to catch on to
her alluring looks and she became a favourite,
particularly with male magazines, which became
interested in her obvious qualities. Kelly's career
really took off when she was announced as the successor
to Denise Van Outen alongside Johnny Vaugn on the
"The Big Breakfast".
While on vacation, Kelly learned of news reports
circulating that her position as presenter on the
"Big Breakfast" was to be terminated. Kelly
elected to quit the show instead of being fired. Kelly,
now out looking for a job, took the opportunity to
become a model for Triumph International Underwear. A
provocative image of her was placed on advertisements in
London, which went on record for being the largest and
most popular billboard in England, if not the World.
Kelly was in the United States filming a show, which has
been picked up by Warner Brothers for an initial
season's run, called "The Mis-Adventures of Fiona
Plum". In the show, she plays a witch from Britain
banished to the US to work as a nanny. Kelly also
recently appeared on the British TV show, "The
Priory", and has been in a TV ad for
"KitKat".
Kelly's most recent job was playing the role of Anya the
Lap Dancer in the stage play "Eye Contact".
Prior to this role, she had been filming for two minor
parts in movies. Kelly played the part of a clubber in
the film "Sorted", starring Jason Donovan and
Tim Curry. In the second movie, she was filming in
Canada for the movie "Ripper", in which she
became entangled with one of the descendants of Jack the
Ripper.
Model: Brook's modeling career began at 16 after
winning a beauty competition, her early work was in a
range of advertising campaigns, including for the new
"Bravissimo" company that specializes in bras
and lingerie for full-figured women, and for Foster's
beer. Brook is 5 feet, 8 inches (172 cm) tall, and her
voluptuous figure caught the eye of the editorial team
of the Daily Star who began featuring her as a Page
Three girl.
Brook's picture soon began appearing in other lad mags
such as FHM (repeatedly landing in its list of the
"100 Sexiest Women of the Year") and Loaded.
She topped the 'FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2005'
list, which was said to have polled 15 million people.
In a poll over 5000 women in April 2005 for Grazia
magazine she was considered to have the best British
female body. She ranked 5th at 'FHM 100 Sexiest Women in
the World 2006' list.
Brook has also done a large amount of commercial
swimwear, sportswear, and hosiery modeling, and a
limited amount of nude & semi-nude modeling. Recent
modelling work for Triumph Bras caused quite a stir
because of specially commissioned 50-foot high
billboards of Brook's bust.
In 2005, Brook shot a ten page black and white portfolio
with legendary photographer David Bailey. The shoot
featured in British design magazine October 2005 issue
of Arena magazine. In 2006, she released successful
ranges of swimwear and lingerie at New Look stores
nationwide.
In February 2007, it was announced that Kelly Brook had
signed a contract, reported to be worth £1m, to be the
new face and body of Unilever's Lynx bodyspray, known as
Axe in the US and on continental Europe. Kelly has been
on billboards, in newspapers and online as part of the
advertising campaign.
In December 2007, Brook will launch her own signature
fragrance, the bottle shape will replicate her famous
curves.
Presenter: In 1997, still barely 18, Brook
started getting work presenting youth television
programmes on MTV, Granada and Trouble TV.
Brook had a breakthrough into mainstream presenting in
January 1999 when she was chosen to replace Denise van
Outen as the female half of The Big Breakfast presenting
team, alongside Johnny Vaughan. Brook remained for half
a year and then parted company with the show in July
1999 after resigning. Brook picked up roles presenting
for MTV again. In 2005 she presented the reality
television programme Celebrity Love Island for ITV.
Actress: Brook has appeared in minor roles in a
string of movies including Sorted and Ripper. She played
the girlfriend of Clark Kent/Superman's best friend Lex
Luthor in four episodes of Warner Brothers' Smallville
during the show's first season (2001 - 2002). She has
also completed assignments as a movie actress in Canada
and made a short appearance as Lyle's girlfriend in the
2003 movie The Italian Job. In 2004 she played character
Nikki Morris in the video game Need for Speed
Underground 2, alongside Brooke Burke. Brook first
starring role was in School for Seduction, a 2004 film.
In 2005 she appeared in the Philippe Vidal film House of
9, a thriller about nine seemingly unconnected strangers
captured and locked in a house together. The people are
forced to compete against one another, in order to
survive.
She recently starred in a Marple drama on ITV. She
caused a minor controversy over her most recent film
Survival Island (previously known as Three), in which
she co-starred with fiancé Zane, when Brook and Zane
requested her nude scenes be excised from the final cut,
which the producers refused to do.
In 2007 she will be seen as a guest star in the british
television drama Hotel Babylon, the independent films In
the mood and Fishtales and Carry on London, the latest

considerable tabloid publicity as the finale of the show
involved Brook stripping naked. |
