Kelly Brook reveals she wants to be the next Nigella Lawson

Kelly Brook has revealed she wants to be the next Nigella Lawson following her stint on the Great British Bake Off.

And the actress and model, 40, hopes to launch her own TV show inspired by the domestic goddess.

Speaking to the Mirror about the coronavirus lockdown, she said: ‘During this time I’ve realised my dream job is just to be home and work from home and make a nice, lifestyle TV show.

‘Gardening and cooking, growing your own veg and fruit and stuff like that – and do something that’s a bit Nigella, a bit Martha Stewart.

‘Have a few dogs and chickens running around and just have a dreamy TV show doing all the things you love to do. I don’t know if anyone would watch it but it would be my dream.’ 

Kelly appeared on Channel 4’s Great British Bake Off’s Stand Up to Cancer earlier this year before being pipped to the top spot by Carol Vorderman.

And she has been sharing a whole host of edible homemade creations to her Instagram page since, including Harissa Sausage Rolls and Biscoffee Ice Cream. 

Earlier this month, Kelly said she won’t shy away from the camera or stop posing for sexy Instagram snaps just because she’s 40. 

However, the Heart radio host revealed that things are not as easy as they used to be as she admitted to feeling the aches and pains of ageing. 

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, she said: ‘I was dirty in my thirties, I’m naughty in my forties and I’m going to be fit as f*** in my fifties. 

‘Obviously it’s still important for me to look as good as I can. When you’re younger everything is a bit easier, isn’t it? But now in the morning when I wake up, my lower back hurts a little bit.’ 

The star went on to say that her back ‘really hurts’ in the mornings and that she misses being able to ‘bounce around’ like she used to in the gym, without feeling the pains she does now.

However, she firmly stated that she does not wish she was 20 again, adding ‘no way!’ 

The green-fingered star, who often presents gardening segments on This Morning, also told how she often feels glamorous while working in her garden, as she insisted that ‘gardening is sexy’. 

Explaining the reasons why, the beauty cheekily told how one gets ‘covered in dirt’ while down on ‘all fours’, adding that the activity was ‘quite sexy.’ 

But amid the coronavirus lockdown, the This Morning regular admitted to suffering with anxiety for the first time in her life as she and Jeremy reside in their London home rather than her Kent £1million countryside cottage. 

She explained to the publication: ‘When coronavirus first arrived I had a bit of a tight chest and I was thinking, ‘Oh God, I’ve got coronavirus’ but then I was like, ‘No, I haven’t, it’s grief. This is me grieving my life’. I had it for about three weeks and it was really quite difficult.’

Kelly went on to say when she’s been working from home, ‘negative thoughts’ would creep in as she began to panic about being restricted to her home amid lockdown.
