SHE made a career as a glamour model, but it seems that Kelly Brook has swapped posing from pruning in recent years.
The presenter, 40, has made no secret of her love of all things horticultural, regularly sharing snaps of her vegetable patch and wildflower meadow at her 15th century Kent cottage.
But far from the muddied wellies and gardening gloves, Kelly has managed to add some serious glamour to her green-fingered life-style.
Just this week the actress helped to kick off National Gardening Week by posing with a union-jack style watering can to help celebrate her love of all things green.
But those who follow the keen-gardener on social media may notice that she rarely features in her gardening snaps herself.
While Charlie Dimmock may go braless, Kelly goes without a lot else, with the star reportedly choosing to go NAKED while gardening.
A source said she likes to “trim her bushes in the buff” in order to keep an even tan.
Speaking to The Star On Sunday how Kelly told them she strips off completely apart from her “wellies”.
They added: “Kelly was also telling everyone how important it is to have a well-trimmed well-shaped bush and keep them stripped back.
“Obviously she was talking about her actual garden and nothing naughty.”
As well as showing off her beautiful flowers on social media, the brunette beauty has even found a way to turn a profit from her hobby.
Kelly has previously produced a juice from the Kentish apples and pears that she grows in her garden.
In addition to well-manicured topiary and growing her own produce, Kelly even has a spring pond to add an extra special touch.
Green-fingered Kelly has said her garden is her pride and joy and she’s even admitted to longing to star on her own gardening show.
She said earlier this year: “Me and Monty Don would be a good presenting combo.
“Gardening is now my full-time hobby and it’s great exercise.
“I don’t mind getting my hands dirty!”
But while Kelly had a small stint of TV fame when she presented a gardening section on This Morning in 2018, she admits that she isn’t quite up to Charlie Dimmock’s level.
Speaking to OK! Magazine she admitted: “I think that’s a little bit out of my league. I’m not a horticulturalist, I’m not a designer or a landscape gardener, I’m just a passionate amateur gardener.”
And it seems that Kelly’s passion has truly paid off with her garden now completely insta-worthy after what she decsribes as a “10-year labour of love.”
Describing it as the “true version of me” at the Chelsea Flower Show she said: “The gardens were completely overgrown, it was in disrepair, it was falling down.
“For me it was about stripping it back to its bare bones, and getting the landscaping right. Now, I’ve started to put back in all the plants that I love.”
