Kelly Brook expected proposal from beau
Model-actress Kelly Brook says she thought her boyfriend Jeremy Parisi would propose to her during their holiday to Paris.
Former glamour model Kelly Brook says she never feels sexy as she is more of a goofy clown and is embarrassed to be regarded as a sex symbol.
“I’ve never felt sexy in my life. I’m the happiest I’ve ever felt in my own skin, but I don’t wake up every day feeling sexy. I feel that is something that is projected on to me rather than how I actually feel about myself,” Brook told Closer magazine.
She added that she got quite “embarrassed” about it even when she was a glamour model.

Brook said: “It paid the bills but it was weird for me. Twenty-one was never really a sexy girl — I’m a bit more of a geeky, goofy clown.”
The model, who is in a relationship with actor Jeremy Parisi, says she has been working to lose the weight she gained during lockdown, though she does not want to be “skinny” again.
“When I look back at my younger self, I’m like a skinny stick. But then I think, ‘Oh that was the time I went through that break-up, or that was the time my father passed away…’ They weren’t happy times. You just don’t want to eat. I did eat, I just couldn’t put on weight,” she said.
Brook was at her “curviest” best when she was 16.
“Weirdly, when I’ve been at my curviest at a size 16, I’ve been at my happiest. I was living in Kent with Jeremy, having gin and tonics and roast dinners and playing with my little ducks in the country,” she recalled.
