As Kelly Brook shows off her assets today... we chart the upward curve of her career

For somebody better known for the size of something other than her IQ, Kelly Brook has not done too badly for herself. Earlier this week her ex-boyfriend Matthew Morrison had to deny that he’d very ungallantly said she was ‘not the brightest bulb.’

Whatever the truth about Kelly’s intellect there’s no doubt that, when it comes to earning money, she’s far from low watt. Over the past 15 years the 32-year-old model from Kent has amassed a £3.2million fortune and stayed in the public eye by doing nothing more taxing than showing off her figure.

Here we chart the upward curve of Kelly’s career...

1. Fresh from the Italia Conti stage school an 18-year-old Kelly’s
talents earn her a lingerie campaign for Playtex in June 1997.
This is the start of her underwear modelling career.

2. A girl who takes her clothes off as often as Kelly does shouldn’t step
out without sunscreen on - here she is advertising Piz Buin lotion in June 1998.

3. If you had to promote a product what better that an E-cup model in a fitted bra and leather trousers?
Here Kelly fronts the Littlewoods fashion show with Melinda Messenger.

4. In August 1999 lingerie company Triumph decide that Kelly needs a huge billboard to match her huge..personality.
Here she is promoting the worlds’s biggest bra poster.

5. Bored with modelling, Kelly branches out in November 2000 by appearing in a play called
Eye Contact where she draws on all her acting skills - to play a girl in a bra.

6. In June 2001 Kelly’s then boyfriend Jason Statham took her to the
premiere of his movie Snatch. On the red carpet all eyes were not on him.

7. Kelly’s now got a Hollywood boyfriend, actor Billy Zane, and in June 2006, the lovebirds
star together in a thriller called Three, in which she spends much of her time in a bikini.

8. Kelly launches her own perfume for Superdrug in October 2007 in an eye-catching pink dress.
She calls the perfume Vivacious - ‘Shrinking Violet’ was never an option.

9.It’s September 2008 and Kelly’s on stage again in the West End comedy Fat Pig –
you’ll never guess what the costume department pulled out for her to wear...

10. Iced buns were sent when Kelly joined the cast of the West End show Calendar Girls in
December 2009. The original promo poster was scrapped as it left too little to the imagination.

11. Forget traffic stopping, Kelly’s lucky she didn’t cause a pile-up in March 2010
with this poster where she appears naked to advertise a fitness shoe.

12. In a bid to prove herself as an actress, in August 2010, Kelly takes a role in
Piranha 3D in which she played a marine biologist. Only joking - she played a girl in a bikini.

13. Kelly is paid a reported £1.2 million to be the ‘face’ of Lynx deodorant in February 2011.
Yes, they really do expect us to believe Kelly was hired for her face.

14. What beauty queen doesn’t want to do her bit for charity? In September 2011 a kindly
Kelly boosts the profile of animal right’s campaigners PETA the only way she knows how...

15. New Look? Hardly. In November 2011 Kelly goes back to her roots
(not to mention her bra and knickers) by modelling for the High Street store.

Now that two of her fellow Victoria's Secret models are with child, Doutzen Kroes is definitely at liberty to dispense advice on how to get their bodies back to fighting form post-pregnancy.

The Dutch stunner showed off her fabulous figure on a beach in Miami, Florida today.

It's impossible to tell that just over a year ago she gave birth to son Phyllon Joy Gorre.

Pretty in pink: Doutzen Kroes spent a beach day with her family in Miami, Florida today

The 27-year-old looked absolutely incredible in a tiny, hot pink two-piece this morning.

She looked overjoyed to be relaxing in the sultry Floridian sunshine and introducing her little boy to the joys of the ocean.

She carefully coaxed him into the sea, teaching him not to fear the waves.

Fabulous figure: The Dutch model flaunted her figure in a pink bikini

The happy family: The model poses with son Phyllon Joy and his father, DJ Sunnery James

The two were joined by Phyllon's father, Dutch DJ Sunnery James.

James and Kroes have been married since November of 2010; she gave birth to Phyllon the following January.

The threesome had fun in the sun as they build sand castles and frolicked along the beach.

The good life: Phyllon Joy has it easy as his supermodel mother totes him around the beach

Minor adjustments: The Victoria's Secret stunner re-arranged her bikini

Not even a Victoria's Secret Angel can look perfect all the time, though.

The model was caught adjusting her bikini top, which had slipped down while playing with her tot.

Now that Adriana Lima has announced her second pregnancy and Alessandra Ambrosio is pregnant again, Kroes can remind her fellow models how to ditch the baby weight.

Water play: Kroes took her son for a little dip in the ocean

Family fun: The entire group got in on the Miami beach action

In an interview last year, the blonde bombshell revealed she maintains her stunning figure through a combination of diet and exercise.

'I take really good care of my body,' she said. 'I try to sleep as much as I can, and I go to the gym a lot because my body enjoys a good work out.

'I keep my skin hydrated, and I avoid eating too many sweets or too much chocolate. In any job, you have to give up certain things, and I believe that having a good quality of life means enjoying certain things only in moderation.

Castles made of sand: Doutzen and her boy played in the sand

You can do it! The leggy blonde teaches her son not to be afraid of the waves

'I love my job, and so I could never complain about making these sacrifices.'

And she clearly enjoys her jet set life as one of the world's top models.

'It gives me the chance to travel to some amazing places,' she said. 'I really value the fact that we are able to represent different kinds of women from all over the world.'

She may not be wearing the underwear... but Candice Swanepoel is just as nice in a tight metallic bandage dress

She is usually seen in her underwear to model ware for lingerie giant Victoria's Secret.

But today Candice Swanepoel was just slightly more covered up to promote the company's Very Sexy line of bras in Dallas, Texas.

However, the 23-year-old South African looked just as nice in a skintight metallic Herve Leger dress as she showed off a neon pink bra.

Seriously sexy: Candice Swanepoel showed off her sensational figure in a cream opalescent bandage dress as she promoted Victoria's Secret bras in Dallas, Texas today

The very tight attire accentuated the supermodel's stunning toned figure and impeccably long and lithe legs.
The tanned blonde was glowing as she blew kisses to the camera and frolicked with her bra.

The Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Tour Stop has been going for weeks and Candice has regularly been joined by Adriana Lima and Erin Heatherton, Leonardo DiCaprio's new girlfriend.

Built like an angel: The very tight attire accentuated the supermodel's stunning toned figure and impeccably long and lithe legs

Candice recently joined fellow VS model Heatherton to show off new workout gear in the new campaign for 'Very Sexy' Spring Summer 2012.

Featuring grey crop tops, bras and leggings with a yellow and blue trim, the clothes are designed for working out in style.

But unfortunately for most people, purchases do not come with a Victoria's Secret body guarantee - that only comes with hard work.

Seductive spritz: Heads turned when Candice spritzed herself sexily with some Victoria Secret perfume

Heatherton, who is currently dating actor Leonardo Di Caprio, recently revealed she works out four times a week to stay in shape.

The 23-year-old told Shape magazine: 'Yes, I like to work out approximately four times per week.
'We generally try to schedule an appropriate workout for future events.

Giving back: Candice blew kisses to the camera and her adoring fans

'I really try to do a full-body workout rather than focusing on a specific part of my body. I utilize a variety of exercises to maximize my heart rate to burn calories.'

When it comes to diet, she prefers a balanced diet - and forgoes the junk.

She said: 'I try to resist temptation as often as possible. I remind myself that end result of giving into temptations is often not worth the expense.

'I try to eat as healthy as possible. This includes eating a balanced diet of foods such as granola, vegetables, protein, nuts.'

Her frighteningly thin frame shocked the showbusiness world when she was snapped running on the beach with a blue bikini hanging from her body in 2006.

But six years on Nicole Richie has stepped out showing off her curves and her healthy bikini shape, soaking up the sun in Miami.

The Fashion Star mentor looked stunning in a plain burgundy two-piece as she strolled around the pool yesterday.
