Kelly Brook: 'I'm happy with my curves'

Kelly Brook has stated that she is happy to sport a curvy figure.
The model-turned-actress claimed that she was content with not looking like supermodels such as Gisele Bundchen, as she recognises the need for role models of all shapes and sizes.
"I've never been a size zero, and I've always had a really good relationship with my body," she told Glamour. "I don't diet, I don't do crazy exercise.
"I'm not perfect - I don't look like Gisele. But there's someone out there for everyone to look up to and emulate. So if I'm the curvy one, that's fine by me, I don't mind."
Brook also said she was proud that women felt they could share their pain with her since the loss of the baby she was expecting with Thom Evans in May.
"I think they probably take comfort in knowing that even though you seem to have a very blessed life, bad things happen to you and it's not your fault," she said.
"It happens to a lot of people, and it's not such a taboo. It's just one of those things, and probably the only positive thing to come out of something like that is that you can talk to people about it."
