FAKE BAKE talks faves: first up, Kelly Brook…



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.
