Kelly Brook joked she was worried was going to be eaten when starring on the front of a lad’s mag ahead of the 2010 World Cup.
Kelly, 45, stripped down on Wednesday evening’s episode of I’m a Celeb! to show off her curvy figure in a one-piece swimsuit – but it’s not the first time she’s given fans an eyeful.
Back in 2010, the British bombshell was selected to front the cover of FHM for their World Cup edition. And for the photoshoot, Kelly, wearing a low cut bikini, would be joined by some lions.
Wearing a black bikini, Kelly posed for the camera in a South African villa – but the stunner only had one eye on the camera as the lions were also in shot.
“I was worried I was going to get eaten,” she joked when speaking to the magazine after the photoshoot.

“The lions were going to be driven down from Johannesburg and I thought they might be a bit hungry when they got there.
“In South Africa I imagine they are a bit more relaxed about health and safety regulations than they are back home – but they’re basically big pussy cats.
“It reminded me of that scene in The Hangover with the tiger – I expected Mike Tyson to appear out of the bathroom any moment.”

Kelly had started her modelling career as a 16-year-old, and she would soon transition on to Page Three as she posed for GQ, Loaded and FHM, and Playboy.
In 2005 Kelly was named as FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World and between 1998 and 2015 featured in every FHM 100 Sexiest countdown.
The stunner was in demand for the World Cup, and she also starred in Sony’s advert ahead of the tournament.

Kelly stripped down again on I’m a Celeb! as she enjoyed a splash in the camp pool – only to come rushing out once she realised it was infested with leaches.
Speaking to the Bush Telegraph, she said: “We were seconds away from being covered in leeches and eaten alive.
“Oh my god! We just could not get out of that pool quick enough.”
