Pin-up star Kelly Brook, who got engaged to Gladiator David McIntosh after dating for just 12 weeks, is an icon for curvy girls - and she's revealed that, despite all her trips to the gym with fiancé David McIntosh, she loves her body just the way it is.

SHOP: THE CELEBRITY BRIDAL LOOK

She said: "It’s all about creating a good body shape. So, for me, going to the gym is just about retaining my shape and curve, not about losing them.

"I don’t want to be skinny; I wanna have a bum, I wanna have boobs - but I want to have a strong core, strong legs as well. So it’s I go to the gym to try and keep my shape really."

The star also revealed that, when it comes to dressing an impressive cleavage and curvy body, the key is great underwear.

She explained: "I think it all starts with a foundation; the reason I did my New Look range was to have really supportive underwear for girls with curves, so that anything you wear on top you feel confident and secure in.

"I just think it’s about not showing off too much flesh and I think, when you’ve got curves, you don’t want too many patterns or anything like that. It’s quite nice to have a block colour, so I quite like primary colours."

And she says her new perfume, Audition, is to key to giving women 'that extra bit of confidence as you walk out the door'.

SHOP: ALTERNATIVE ENGAGEMENT RINGS

"When you’re going on an audition first impressions count. Being the best you can possibly be and looking the best, feeling the best, smelling the best is so important.

"I feel that, when you’re walking out the door and on your way you spray a bit of perfume just to give you that extra feeling of gorgeousness. That's where the inspiration for the name came from."

Meanwhile, the fragrance is a combination of Kelly's favourite smells: "All the perfumes I like always have an element of musk in there so I wanted it to have musky vibes, but then I wanted it to be quite sweet and feminine.

"So we’ve got water, apple and iris so it’s florally and kind of woody so it works for day to night."

With her wedding to David fast approaching, many have wondered what Kelly's bridal dress will look like. And so, when asked about her favourite celebrity wedding dress of all time, our ears definitely pricked up when Kelly dropped the name of a Hollywood icon.

"I think Grace Kelly in Monaco when she got married all those years ago was probably the ultimate wedding dress."

We wonder if Kelly will be emulating Grace Kelly's bridal look? We think the fitted gown, with its structured waistline and lace detailing, would look beautiful on her.
