Kelly Brook (born Kelly Ann Parsons;[1] 23 November 1979) is an English model, actress, entrepreneur, television presenter and Playboy model.
Early life
Brook was born and brought up in Rochester, Kent, England.[1] She is the daughter of Sandra, a cook, and Kenneth Parsons, a scaffolder. She has a younger brother, Damian, and an older half-sister, Sasha.[1] Kenneth died aged 57 in Rochester from lung cancer[2] on 26 November 2007, during Brook's time on Strictly Come Dancing.[3]
Brook attended the Thomas Aveling School in Warren Wood, Rochester. She then studied at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London for three years before becoming a professional model.
Modelling career
Brook's modelling career began at 16 after winning a beauty competition, in which she was entered by her mother.[1] She later worked on a range of advertising campaigns, including for Foster's Lager, Renault Mégane, Walker's crisps, Piz Buin and Bravissimo, a company that specialises in bras and lingerie for large-breasted women. Her figure eventually caught the eye of the editorial team of the Daily Star tabloid,[4] which began featuring her as a Page Three girl.
Brook's picture soon began appearing in other lads' mags such as GQ, Loaded and FHM. In April of the same year, a poll over 5,000 women for Grazia magazine considered her to have the best British female body. She also topped the 'FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World' list in 2005, which was said to have polled 15 million people. Appearing in this list every year since 1998, she ranked No.34 in 2008, No.67 in 2009 and No.7 in 2010.[5] She was the cover star of FHM's World Cup 2010 special issue,[6] and was on the cover of the magazine in April 2011.[5]
In February 2007, it was announced that Brook had signed a contract, reported to be worth around £1m, to represent Unilever's Lynx bodyspray, known as "Axe" in the US and in continental Europe.[7] She has appeared on billboards, in newspapers and on-line as part of their advertising campaign.[8] She has also appeared in commercials for Sky + and T Mobile and modelled for Reebok.
In 2010, she was chosen as the "new face and body" of lingerie maker Ultimo's advertising campaign.[9] In September 2010, Brook appeared in the American edition of Playboy magazine.[10] In October 2010, Kelly Brook appeared live at Clapham Picture House to surprise cinemagoers as part of a promotion for Carlsberg and Sky 3D.[11] In November 2010, Brook presented an award at MTV's EMA's in Madrid.[12]
Brook produces her own line of swimwear with New Look, which she herself has modelled.
