Our usual
chats are on ice right now. From holiday plans to parties to occasions to
weddings, we are relying on Skype and
Zoom and staying safe indoors instead.And as a team we are changing our
conversations, and checking in on each other so much more. Over the next few weeks we are looking back on some of our work as
a brand, our fave products and tips, and hints and expert advice from some of
our most respected pro tanners.
We thought
we’d start off with a classic beauty and someone we love working with: Kelly Brook. An industry powerhouse,
her CV is so impressive that it is hard to list everything she has accomplished
from model to TV presenter, actress, brand ambassador, designer, and now DJ,
not forgetting gardener! Kelly started
modelling aged just 16, and soon came to the attention of everyone in the
media. TV’s biggest morning audience for those not just wanting a bit of news
and cookery, headed to C4’s The Big
Breakfast, where Kelly took over from Denise Van Outen.
Kelly stole hearts instantly with her
sunshine ways and Hollywood beauty. When she took to the red carpet for the
premier of Snatch the following year
wearing Julien Macdonald she
absolutely floored the photographers, and the image bounced all over the world.
Everyone wanted to know more.
A savvy Girl Boss, Kelly knew that she wasn’t
going to be stuck in one career box, and so over the next few years she took her
talents and was present on our TVs, in our magazines, and just about everywhere
worth knowing. Kelly presented the original
Celebrity Love Island from 2005, and
became part of one of telly’s most popular cult programmes.
In 2007, Kelly partnered with Brendan
Cole on Strictly Come Dancing and was a huge favourite to win. However, Kelly’s dad sadly
passed away during the series, and she bravely stepped back to spend time with
her family. Would we love to see her return? You bet we would, and her
Hollywood Smooth remains a firm fan favourite.
Over two decades, Kelly has been known for her streamlined,
classic style and has championed curvy girls everywhere. As soon as her
swimwear was launched it flew out of stores, as suddenly there was a stylish
alternative to tiny bikinis.
Kelly has also never been far from stage
and screen. Whether putting on a dramatic show for Agatha Christie’s Marple, taking to the West End stage or filming with Keith
Lemon, our Kelly has a great work ethic and never turns away from a
challenge.
Kelly has such a distinctive beauty look
that it would be a crime to change it too much. Those glossy locks and subtle
shades never fail to look knockout.
What we love
most about Kelly is her honesty. She
celebrated her 40th birthday just before Christmas, and since her career
launched she has always been upfront about her life experiences. She has grown
up before our eyes and has let us into her world. We love a relatable girl.
Of course,
we have always wanted to work with Kelly
and everyone on Team Fake Bake appreciates her kindness and support. Our Eloise, the Tan Expert, tans Kelly regularly
and misses her right now, but she told us, “It is always a pleasure tanning Kelly. She matches in real life the
person you see on TV, in magazines, and hear on the radio. She is just lovely.
I often get asked about the tan I use with Kelly,
and it is Fake Bake 60 Minutes pro formula as she is so busy. Of course, I
am recommending everyone tans at home right now, but I really look forward to
working with Kelly again. She wears her Fake
Bake tan so well.”
Kelly works on Heart Radio doing the drivetime special and
recently has really been keeping us going, as well as supporting everyone in
the NHS, and key workers, as well as all of us working from home. Kelly is also
on duty on Saturday mornings, so she
will be keeping us company every weekend as we get used to this new way of
living we are getting used to. Drivetime is now more sitting in the lounge
time, but we are just glad to hear her voice.
A final word
from Team Fake Bake - thanks for
everyone who has got in touch and keeps supporting us through this difficult
time. Don’t forget you can still order your Fake Bake Mystery Bag, as just £20, which contains £100 worth of Fake
Bake goodies and has been put together to support tanning therapists around the
UK.
Thanks to Kelly Brook for two decades
of world class talent, beauty, hard work, realness, and finally, heart.
