Kelly Brook Photos

Kelly began modeling when she was 16, after being entered into a beauty competition by her mother. She ended up winning, and went on to do a number of advertising campaigns for the likes of Foster's Lager, Renault Megane, Walkers crisps, Piz Buin, and Bravissimo.

It was Kelly's work with Bravissimo, a lingerie company that specializes in bras and lingerie for large busted women, which ended up catching the eye of the infamous British tabloid The Sun, who immediately featured Kelly as a Page 3 girl. Kelly was immediately a fan favorite.

Kelly competed on the BBC celebrity dancing competition Strictly Come Dancing in 2007. However, her father succumbed to a battle with cancer midway through the series and, although Kelly initially seemed determined to carry on in his memory, eventually left the show in week nine.

A "lad mag" favorite from the get-go, Kelly has appeared in GQ, Loaded, and Maxim. She has been on FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World" every year since 1998. She hit #1 in 2005, which was decided via poll given to 15 million people, according to FHM.

Kelly produced her own line of swimwear through the UK-based fashion company New Look. New Look has been around since 1969, and boasts stores in Ireland, Europe, the Middle East, Singapore, Russia, and Poland visited either in store or online by over 355 million people.

In 1997, Kelly met World Championship diver-turned-actor Jason Statham (The Expendables), and the two would date for seven years. In 2004, Kelly met actor Billy Zane will filming a movie and the two were together for four years. She is currently linked with professional rugby player Thom Evans.

Kelly's most famous onscreen role may be in the horror remake Piranha 3D. In it, Kelly has a rather memorable underwater nude scene alongside American porn actress Riley Steele. The scene went a long way towards helping Piranha 3D gross over $83 million on a $24 million budget.

In 2007, Kelly reportedly signed an extremely lucrative deal worth £1 million to represent Lynx bodyspray (which is actually known as "Axe" in the United States and continental Europe). The deal saw her appear on billboards, in newspapers, and online as part of the company’s advertising campaign.

Kelly's key to maintaining a trim and fit physique? It's all surprisingly easy, as it turns out. She once told London's Daily Mail in an interview that she stays fit by "having tons of sex so you look fit and healthy -- it's the best thing in the world."
