Walking into the library room of London’s Covent Garden Hotel, we’re hit with a heady dose of star power. Kelly Brook, 43, sits coolly in an armchair wearing a floaty top and a pair of fitted jeans, no doubt from her new summer collection with F&F at Tesco. And before we can find a chair, she proudly introduces us to a rail full of her designs.
Affordable fashion is just the latest rung in Kelly’s ladder of diverse career achievements. She topped FHM’s sexiest women list in 2005, she put on her dancing shoes for Strictly in 2007 and has been a regular on TV shows such as Celebrity Juice and Loose Women.
Now, by her own admission, her interests lie in out-of-the-spotlight activities such as gardening and travelling – hobbies that have flourished since she entered her forties.
