Kelly Brook Biography

Born Kelly Parsons on November 23, 1979 in Kent, Rochester, England, Ms. Brooke is the daughter of Sandra, a cook, and Ken, a scaffolder. It was clear from the start that Kelly would be much more.
Her talent can be traced back to when she attended the prestigious Italia Conte stage school, where Naomi Campbell and Louise Nurding also studied. After 3 years of training in dance, singing, and acting, Kelly was ready to start her career.
Kelly’s mum entered her in a beauty contest, which of course Kelly won, and led to her interest in modeling. After some small modeling jobs at local firms, including the flooring company KMS, Kelly was gracing the cover of GQ, FHM, Sky, Cosmopolitan, Tatler, The Face, and Company by the age of 16.
Her gorgeous physique also slipped into Lee jeans, as part of its advertising campaign, and she was known for playing the game show hostess “Nicky with the Ticky” for a Sure deodorant TV ad. She was finally making a larger salary, as compared to her waitressing job at a tea shop.
More modeling jobs came Kelly’s way, such as print campaigns for Renault Megane, Walkers, Piz Buin, and the Triumph Flaunt underwear and bra line. The latter featured Kelly on a billboard in London, said to be the largest billboard in the world — all the more to see Kelly.
Although Kelly was appearing in ads all over the UK, she hit the big time when she won the position of Big Breakfast presenter on Britain’s Channel 4. It was Kelly’s dream come true, since she was more interested in being a presenter than acting or singing.
Kelly quit Big Breakfast after the tabloids published that the show was going to fire her for being “too dumb.” Well, she beat them to it by resigning.
After the Big Breakfast, Kelly was busy hosting MTV’s Select. It was the perfect move for her, as she wanted to be involved with presenting hip music to young fans, because of her interest in dance. She was also hired to promote the latest range of bra’s from Triumph International, during which she appeared on the largest billboard advertisement in the UK, some 50ft high.
Kelly was splitting her presenting duties and television appearances between Select, VLP and Babewatch for Granada, and The T-Spot for Trouble TV. She was also co-host for No Worries, made appearances on Short Change and Fist of Fun, and hosted the Oasis Live at Wembley concert on Sky One.
In 2000 Kelly Brook got engeged to Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels and Snatch star Jason Statham and took her acting skills to the stage as a table dancer in a production of the play ‘Eye Contact’.
After seeking work in the US with fiance Jason Statham she was hired by Warner Brothers for the show ‘The (Mis)Adventures of Fiona Plum’, which was canned by the network before being aired. The network liked what they saw and she was given a 4 episode role as Lex Luthor’s girlfriend Victoria in the series ‘Smallville’, set during the college days of Superman.
Kelly’s next venture was in Canada taking the part of Claire in the independent movie ‘Absolon’ with Christopher Lambert and Lou Diamond Phillips before filming her role as Linda Fashiabella in US TV movie ‘Romy and Michelle: Behind the Velvet Rope.
Kelly’s most recent project is a movie entitled ‘School for Seduction’ currently filming in Newcastle, England.
