Kelly Brook, a British sex symbol and beloved model for over two decades, has faced criticism from fans who struggle with the idea of her aging. Some individuals have been particularly vocal about their disappointment, labeling her ‘unsexy’ and ‘past her prime’ because she no longer resembles a ‘pin-up girl in her 20s’. Speaking to FEMAIL, the Heart Breakfast presenter shared her perspective, stating, “They perceive me as a 40-year-old woman with a different body, and they’re like, ‘No!’ I understand it, it’s amusing. But people mature, bodies change, and that’s a natural part of life.”
Kelly added: ‘I want to be the best version of myself, so it’s important for me to maintain a certain weight and to be healthy – and not ridiculously skinny or have a body that I had when I was twenty. That’s not what I’m aiming for. For me, if I’m a good size 10-12, I’m happy.’
Joking that there seemed to be two types of people in lockdown, the fitness fanatics and the food experimenters, the model said she fell firmly in the latter category.
‘Being stuck at home, it gets quite intense so I just found therapy in the kitchen,’ she recalled. ‘It just seemed, that if we’re all going down, I want to go down eating.
‘I was going on my daily walks but I was just not moving as much as I usually move and I wasn’t as healthy.
Kelly (above) also reflected about her weight ‘creeping up’ while in lockdown thanks to ‘snacksidents’ and boredom – admitting she wants to remain at a ‘healthy’ size 10 or 12
