‘I've put on a few pounds – but I'm not worried'

With her typically honest approach, model turned Heart Radio DJ Kelly Brook has no problem telling new she’s put on a few pounds during lockdown by indulging in cakes. Haven’t we all?

But the 40-year-old insists she’s not letting it bother her as she can quickly lose the extra weight by getting back on the SlimFast diet.

“It’s a no brainer,” she says. “I love that you can eat up to six times a day because I’m a real foodie and enjoy cooking.”

Kelly slimmed down to a size 10-12 in 2018 after slowly gaining 2st and going up to a size 16.

She is isolating with her boyfriend of five years, Italian model Jeremy Parisi, 35, at her north London flat and the couple have been spending their time baking and drinking gin.

Kelly has also continued presenting her drivetime show on Heart Radio, which she’s loved doing from the comfort of her own home.

Here, Kel talks about working out, missing her manicurist and her plans for the future…

Hi Kelly! You say you’ve put on weight during lockdown…

I wasn’t at all surprised to see my weight creep up a little over the last few weeks. Life is full of ups and downs and the last few weeks have certainly been a rollercoaster for all of us. It’s been time to focus on and enjoy the good things in life close to home.

How much weight have you put on?
