May 13, 2005: Kelly Brook, British model, actor and TV presenter has won the award for world's sexiest women, based on a survey conducted by Britain's FHM magazine.
We wonder how the 25-year old Kelly Brook could be elected the "world's" sexiest, since all men in the world were not part of the electorate. At least, the Dancewithshadows.com team was not part of those who chose her.
But when we realise that the same crown was worn by Britney Spears last year, we sit up and take note. (Incidentally, Britney sipped to No.6 position in the same poll this time). The fact remains that FHM's annual award is an indication of the biases of a lot of fashion and beauty conscious men (and women), worldwide.
After her studies, the British-born Kelly Brook went to the Italia Conte stage school in London for 3 years. Then, she started her career as a model.
Kelly Brook's mother pushed her into the beauty business, right from the age of three. Baby Kelly Brook appeared in a Miss Pears Soap beauty contest, but did not get through.
But at age 13, Kelly Brook was crowned Medway Carnival Princess. She was named as a model in an advertising campaign for KMC flooring company. Apart from modelling, she supplemented her income, working as a waitress in a local tea shop.
Kelly Brook's first professional modelling assignment came for Lee jeans. She has appeared in promos for Renault Megane, Walkers and Piz Buin. The British tabloid newspaper The Star has given the kick-start in Kelly Brook's modelling publicity. The Star still published her pictures. Now, Kelly Brook is featured in many British magazines like FHM, Maxim etc.
Kelly Brook first apeared on TV in an ad for Sure deodorant, along with presenter Jonathan Ross. Apart from TV commercials, Kelly Brookhas appeared in MTV, Babewatch (Granada) and The T-spot (Trouble TV). Kelly has co-hosted several programmes on telly too.
Kelly Brook's big break was in 1999, when she presented 'The Big Breakfast'. Later, she was sacked fromthe show, for reasons unclear to us.
Kelly Brook was soon hired to promote Triumph Inernational range of bras. Some of the British billboards which cropped up with her wearing Triumph lingerie were some 50ft high.
Kelly was soon back on telly, presenting MTV Select and MTV Asia. the tinsel town was next in line, with minor roles in movies like 'Sorted' and 'Ripper'.
In US, were she sought work along with fiance Jason Statham, Kelly Brook was hired by Warner Brothers for 'The (Mis)Adventures of Fiona Plum'. Warner liked her and Kelly bagged four-episode role in the series 'Smallville', set during the college days of Superman.
In Canada, Kelly Brook took the part of Claire in the independent movie 'Absolon'.
One of Kelly Brook's recent projects is a movie named 'School for Seduction.'
