Kelly Brook to auction designer outfits from TV career for tiny amounts including Strictly leotard and swimwear
FORMER glamour model Kelly Brook is flogging loads of her designer gear for as little as £20.
She said she is having a “cathartic” clear-out of outfits she has worn during her TV and film career.
They include the flamboyant, diamante-encrusted leotard body suit with tulle overlay that she used during the Strictly Come Dancing live tour in 2010.
She is also selling beachwear she wore while co-presenting Celebrity Love Island with Patrick Kielty in 2005, including a blue striped swimsuit.
Also up for grabs is a floral dress from the 2006 ITV production of Agatha Christie’s Marple: The Moving Finger.
A vintage lace dress Kelly wore to the 2003 premiere of Gangs of New York is also for sale.
The collection also includes pieces by Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Diane Von Furstenberg, Moschino, Dolce & Gabbana and Emporio Armani.
Kelly, 43, kept her collection in storage containers but now wants to sell as she settles into married life with Jeremy Parisi.
She said: “It’s been amazing to take a trip down memory lane and explore my storage units where vintage and designer pieces from my career have been preserved and archived.
“It’s been extremely cathartic to part with some iconic pieces I know fans and collectors will love.
“I’m very much looking forward to watching some of my favourite items go under the hammer and find a new home outside of a storage unit.
“Let the fun begin.”
Kelly’s clothes are going up for sale at Hansons Auctioneers on Thursday.
Stephanie Connell, who catalogued the collection, said: “As well as being fabulous items of clothing, these garments are part of TV history.”
