Kelly Brook has been "most miserable" during some of the "skinniest times" in her life.

The 40-year-old model and actress admits she feels much more comfortable now she is a size 10 / 12 compared to when she weighed just eight and a half stone.
She said: "I’m a size 10 around my waist but a size 12 around my boobs and bum. That’s my healthy, happy size. Some of the skinniest times in my life have been my most miserable. When I lost my dad in 2007 I was 8 1/2st. I would not want to be in that place again."
Kelly says it is more important to be "comfortable and stylish" than worry about trying to look younger.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday's Fabulous magazine, she added: "You don’t care if your bum looks big – you just want to be comfortable and stylish. I want to look nice, feel good and be the best version of myself, but I don’t want to look like a 20 year old, I want to look like a good 40 year old ... You had two types – those getting fit and people like me who got a pizza oven, a sandwich maker and an ice-cream maker. Obviously, when I’m making ice cream I’ve got to eat it so I put on a few pounds, but it’s all gone now. We got Teddy five months ago and since then the weight’s been dropping off because I’m out and about with him every day. He brings my running shoes to get me out of bed!"
