Former Page Three girl Kelly Brook has shared a series of photos from her holiday in Italy, after the 45-year-old retired from the modelling industry, saying she had enough of the ‘male gaze’
Former glamour model Kelly Brook has shown off her curves in white bikini photos as fans have praised her “natural beauty”. The 45-year-old looked incredible as she sunned herself on holiday in Italy with her husband, model Jeremy Parisi.
Sharing the series of snaps on Instagram, the Heart Radio host beamed as she posed against a railing, captioning her post: “Italian Summers !!! Made the Hubby take some pictures of me.”
Fans flooded the comments with praise for the retired model, who was hailed a “role model” for sharing the natural photos. One of her followers commented: “Thank you for showing girls what a normal (gorgeous) woman looks like. They’re constantly looking at ‘love island’ girls!” It comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK ‘really hard’ before split from Patrick Kielty.

Another of Kelly’s followers shared: “You are absolutely stunning and so natural It’s also very refreshing Kelly.” A third penned: “Been an absolute natural beauty from the beginning! never change! X”
Others echoed their sentiments, writing: “How bloody refreshing,” while another added: “This should be the role model for young girls out there. You are absolutely stunning.”
A sixth fan gushed: “Does this woman never age? From many years ago to now I have admired her. Not only is she a natural beauty and all woman she has the most wonderful sense of humour absolutely hilarious on times on the radio. Her husband struck gold when he married her. Stunning!!!”
Kelly, who appeared on Celebrity Race Across the World with her husband Jeremy, told the Sun previously that she had enough of modelling. She told the paper: “It’s very hard having been a bikini model all through my 20s and then you hit 30 and they still want me to do calendars.
“I’m just not there for the male gaze any more. I’m married and I’m very happy being in my 40s.” She also revealed earlier this year to the Mirror that she made the conscious decision to live a child-free lifestyle, thanks to some wise words from a family member.
In the candid chat, she explained: “When I asked my grandma if she regretted anything in life, because that’s what you ask octogenarians, she said – very honestly – that her biggest regret was having children.”
Kelly added: “I wasn’t expecting it, but she definitely said it! I think she felt that having children had taken up a lot of her life. I thought, ‘What an absolutely honest, incredible answer,’ and I think I needed to hear it. I was about 36 at the time and thinking, ‘God, am I ever going to have children? If so, maybe I should just get on with it now?’ Then I thought, ‘Actually, I don’t think I want them,’ and hearing that somebody had regrets, and that I might not regret not having children, made me feel really happy about my choice.”
The media personality, who has been married to husband Jeremy for two years this month, said she’s happy being a “dog mum”, and likes having her freedom. She added: “As someone who’s probably not going to have children, it’s hard to think about regrets now, because what am I going to regret?
“That I sold my house in LA to move to the UK? Well, there’s nothing stopping me from moving back to LA. If I regret something, I’ll just go back and change it!”
