Kelly's body has the audience in a shutter flutter
Last updated at 12:34pm on 14.10.08It was her chance to show off her acting skills in the West End production of Fat Pig at the Comedy Theatre in Soho - but it was her body that attracted most of the attention from the audience last night.
Show-stopping: Kelly leaves the Comedy Theatre (left) and on stage in her floral bikini (right)
Kelly Brook made her debut as an American office girl who is dumped by her lover for a 20-stone librarian, who she cruelly names "fat pig". When the 28-year-old star stripped down to a floral bikini to reveal her famous figure, the sound of motorised camera shutters - from the paparazzi secreted throughout the audience - became overwhelming. So much so that theatre ushers were forced to intervene.
Backstage beau: Danny Cipriani was on hand to take Kelly home
Although her costume (or lack thereof) overshadowed her performance, Kelly managed to hold it together despite her apparent nerves. At one point an over-excited fan heckled a comment at her and, although she did her best to suppress her laughter, many of the cast found it difficult to do so. And what better way to end the evening than to have her hunky boyfriend Danny Cipriani greet her at the stage door to take her home.

Yes - Joanna Page also stripped to a bikini for the beach scene. I presume that's how the paparazzi knew that the actress who replaced her was going to do the same thing.

I've seen the play and the last part of the play is set on a beach and all members of the cast are wearing beach wear, its not just because Kelly Brook is in it, Joanna Page had to do it too. Its been advertised that Kelly was taking over that part so of course people would know about it and the whole point of that part is that the person doing it is pretty and thin, as opposed to the other ladies part, being pretty and large.

I have just one question...however on earth did all those paparazzi know that Ms Brooks would be embellishing a bikini in the play in the first place? I haven't seen the play - and now Ms Brooks has joined the cast what little desire I had has been utterly extinguished - but did Joanna Page when she played the part have to defrock at all?...Hmm....And there we were thinking that Ms Brooks was offered the role because of her acting "talent"?....much ado about nothing if you ask me...
