Kelly Brook has quit acting

The 44-year-old star first came to prominence as a model in the late 1990s before going on to host 'The Big Breakfast' with Johnny Vaughan and later switched to acting with roles in TV hits like 'Hotel Babylon', 'Skins'and 'Midsomer Murders' as well as a string of cult films but has now claimed that she was "terrible" at it and doesn't want to do it again.

She told The Daily Star's HotTV column: "I’m going to leave the acting thing. I don’t like being away from home for too long. I like sleeping in my own bed and I’ve got my dog to look after. I

was a terrible actress. I find it quite exhausting."

The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' contestant - who in recent years has gone into radio as a co-host of 'Heart London Drivetime' and also held presenting jobs on 'Loose Women' and 'Celebrity Juice' - explained that she is "such a big personality" herself that she struggles to adopt an alter-ego for the purposes of acting because she'd believe it was all real.

She added: "I’m such a big personality so I always find it quite a struggle to be somebody else. They’d tell me I was married to someone and after two weeks

in my mind I believed I was married to them. It was a terrible situation."

In 2022, Kelly tied the knot with model Jeremy Parisi after almost a decade of dating and she noted that she "couldn't imagine" leaving him for a period of time to pretend to be the lover of someone else on screen.

She said: "I can’t imagine turning around to Jeremy and saying, ‘I’m off for six weeks and I’m going to pretend to be the lover of Ryan Reynolds, is that OK?’ "I don’t think that would bode well. I don’t think my husband would be down with that. It was definitely a good time of my life. But you have to give up a lot of your life, I can’t just run off and be an actress any more."
