Kelly Brook has revealed the ‘very dramatic’ moment she cancelled her wedding just hours before the ceremony after being ‘manipulated and coerced’ by a much older ex she claimed ‘should have known better’.
The model and actress, 45, opened up about the ‘horrific’ ordeal on Thursday’s episode of Loose Women, and was joined in the ITV studio by panellists Kaye Adams, Oti Mabuse and Nadia Sawalha.
When Kelly was 25, she was engaged to be married to a 42-year-old unnamed man, and the couple planned to fly in a private jet to Vegas to elope.
But Kelly shared that just hours before they were due to wed, and while she was in her white dress, she called off the whole thing in tears.
‘I got engaged very young,’ she began. ‘And I felt like I was really kind of manipulated and coerced into something that I wasn’t ready for.’
Kelly continued: ‘That was because of the insecurity on the side of my partner who thought that this was the way of having me and owning me.

‘And he was a lot older, so I kind of went along as a people pleaser, because sometimes you want to stay with the person but you’re not ready for that kind of commitment.
‘So, I went along with it until the very last minute and then went, ‘hang on a minute, I’m not ready for this now. The whole situation was wrong.’
Oti chimed in with support for Kelly’s bravery to turn her back on the decision when the pressure to conform was so strong.
‘Oh the jet was waiting, we were going to Vegas that day,’ Kelly said. ‘It was like a movie, it was all very dramatic and I was just crying ‘I can’t do this, my mum’s not here!’
Host Kaye then asked: ‘You weren’t in a dress, were you?’ to which Kelly responded: ‘I was in a dress, yes.’
She added: It was just horrific. It was the most horrific thing, but we stayed together and I think he came around to it and understood why.’
Although Kelly was keen not to mention the name of her thwarted ex-lover, she later revealed there was a 17-year age gap between her and the mystery man who ‘should have known better.’
The former page-3 girl found love with French model Jeremy Parisi in 2015, and the couple have been happily married for three years.
