Despite earning her stripes as one of the most notable modern pin-up models, Kelly Brook admits she's never felt sexy in her life.
The model-turned-actress, 41, carved out an uber successful modelling career which made her a pretty penny, too, making her nothing short of one of the UK’s best known pin-ups
In fact, her stunning appearance spread across continents, as Kelly soon became a known figure in not just the UK, but in the US, too.
Despite that, Kelly exclusively told Mirror Online: "I've never felt sexy in my life.
"I’m not a sexy girl. I don’t feel like that’s something in my soul that is a part of me. I feel like it’s projected on to me."
The brunette bombshell - who has been dating French actor Jeremy Parisi for the last five years - admitted that she often gets "freaked out" by the thought of someone finding her sexy.
"I would much rather make someone laugh than turn someone on," she confessed.
"The fact that people look at me and think I’m sexy I’d be like 'Ew! What?' I'd get very freaked out by it."
After 20 years in the cutthroat business of modelling, Kelly says that despite her enviable curves and stunning appearance being plastered on countless magazine covers and calendars, she's always felt different to what she's perceived as.
She explained: "It’s weird that I have been this pin-up for so many years where I got calendars and lingerie and this and that, and it was all so driven towards being sexy, but the reality is that I never wake up and feel sexy. It’s the last thing I feel like.
"I could not tell you the last time I felt sexy."
The SlimFast ambassador revealed the first lockdown has really affected her weight, causing her to pile on the pounds after working so hard to get back to a size 12.
Her figure has famously yo-yoed over the years, and she went up to a size 16 in 2017.
But after using her SlimFast plan, Kelly admitted she's finally getting her body back to how she wants it after shedding two stone.
Kelly is an ambassador for SlimFast Plan. For more, visit SlimFast's website or @SlimFastUK #SlimFastworksforme.
