British beauty Kelly Brook is reportedly quitting LA and moving back to London after failing to crack America. The former Big Breakfast presenter has apparently put her home in the Hollywood Hills up for sale after a lack of work. Her last movie Three, in which she starred alongside fiancé Billy Zane, was panned by critics and flopped at the box office. Kelly's chic two-bedroom pad in the hills above Sunset Boulevard is on sale for £440,000. She bought it after she split with former lover Jason Statham early last year but is selling it at a loss of £20,000 to get a quick sale. Kelly's expected to fly back in coming weeks and settle permanently into her London home which is great news for her British fans.

Sweet-faced British actress Kelly Brook began her career at the age of 16 after winning a modeling competition. Her curvaceous figure soon ushered her into the world of swimsuit and lingerie modeling, and she began appearing in music videos like Pulp's "Help the Aged." In 2000, barely 20 years old, she began her acting career with minor roles in the films Sorted and Ripper: Letter From Hell, soon catching the eye of American producers, who gave her a recurring role on the series Smallville.

On November 23, 1979, Kelly Ann Parsons, who would later be famous as Kelly Brook, was born in Rochester, Kent, England. Her parents are Sandra (cook) and Ken (scaffolder). Kelly has a younger brother named Damian, and is an older half-sister to Sasha. A Rochester native, Kelly attended Thomas Aveling School before being accepted in the prestigious Italia Conte stage school. Because her parents didn’t have enough money to pay the high fees, Kelly applied for a scholarship, but sadly, her application was rejected. She began modeling and took a job at a local tea shop as a waitress to earn extra money.
