They've only been dating a matter of weeks, so you'd think Kelly Brook would at least try to hold back before asking for expensive gifts. But the 28-year-old star never does things by halves... at least not when it comes to new boyfriend Danny Cipriani.

Golden girl: Kelly Brook

We caught up with the Fat Pig actress at the afterparty for the West End production held at the Kingly club, where she was wearing an eye-popping Bulgari diamond necklace at an even more eye-popping £750,000.

When asked whether she would like to own the jewellery, she told us: "Maybe Danny will buy it for me one day, if I ask him nicely." It would have to be really nicely. Kelly stole the show in a gold floor-length dress. Other guests included socialite Henry Conway, Martine McCutcheon, Brendan Cole and the dancers from her reality TV show Dirty Dancing.

Speaking about her role in Fat Pig, Kelly said: "It was nerve racking but I thoroughly enjoyed it. All my family and friends were there, which made me even more nervous."
