Kelly Brook Supporting England At World Cup

Kelly Brook was flown to South Africa for the exclusive photo shoot in which she shows her allegiance to England by appearing with three lions.

Rochester-born Kelly has been a constant fixture in FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women In The World list for the past ten years and was the obvious and only choice to fly to Cape Town to be the covergirl.

"I was worried I was going to get eaten," laughs the 30-year-old. "The lions were going to be driven down from Johannesburg and I thought they might be a bit hungry when they got there.

"In South Africa I imagine they are a bit more relaxed about health and safety regulations than they are back home - but they’re basically big pussy cats.

"It reminded me of that scene in The Hangover with the tiger - I expected Mike Tyson to appear out of the bathroom any moment."

Speaking about watching the world cup with her rugby player boyfriend Danny Cipriani, Kelly added: "When I did the Sony TV ad with Kenny Dalglish, Graham Taylor and Terry Venables. They were giving me some tips.

"They said if we get to the semi-finals we will have done well. I’ll watch England’s games, I don’t think I’ll be able to avoid them.

"Danny loves football and Sky Sports is on 24 hours a day in our house. But I’ve learnt that if I want him to change the channel I’ll go, 'Oooh, who’s that player?'. He’ll get all sulky and be like, 'Why do you want to know?' and then turn the TV over."

Kelly, who is set to move to Australia with Danny who is leaving London Wasps to play for the Melbourne Rebels, also revealed: "The life of a rugby girlfriend is running around after them, because they’re always injured with their feet up.

"It’s a pretty thankless job. You also have to learn how to marinate steak. We eat a lot of steak."
