She recently revealed that cruel trolls had branded her ‘unsexy’ because they can’t accept she no longer looks like a ‘pin-up girl in her 20s’.
And Kelly Brook showed she was moving past the criticism as she flaunted her stylish figure in a broderie anglaise dress while out in London on Friday.
The Heart Breakfast presenter, 40, looked sensational in the chic ensemble, which she paired with a woven fedora-style sun hat.

Kelly exuded confidence as she strutted along the street, flashing a peak at her eye-popping cleavage in her crisp white midi-dress which plunged at the front.
She also added some extra height to her curvaceous frame with a pair of tan square-toe mules with a woven pattern across the front.
Never one to forget her accessories, Kelly toted a large black Chanel handbag and donned a selection of pretty gold necklaces for her outing.
To complete her stunning ensemble, Kelly wore her caramel locks down and loosely curled and added a full face of makeup to accentuate her pretty features.

It comes after the former Page Three girl revealed cruel trolls have branded her ‘unsexy’ and ‘past her best’ because they can’t accept she no longer looks like a ‘pin-up girl in her 20s’.
Speaking to FEMAIL, Kelly explained: ‘They see me as this 40-year-old fat girl and they’re like no! I get it, it’s funny. But people grow up, people get bigger, people change, it happens.’
Kelly also reflected about her weight ‘creeping up’ while in lockdown thanks to ‘snacksidents’ and boredom – admitting she wants to remain at a ‘healthy’ size 10 or 12.
Despite receiving ‘amazing messages from women’, Kelly confessed that some of her male fans can be a little more negative about her appearance nowadays.

‘Men are like “you’re past your best”, or “you were sexy once”, but whatever, you’re always going to get that,’ the presenter, based in Kent, said.
‘When you grow up with someone you don’t want them to get older, it’s weird. And I get it, people remember me as this pin up girl.
‘Then they see me as this 40-year-old fat girl and they’re like no! I get it, it’s funny. But people grow up, people get bigger, people change, it happens.’
Kelly began modelling aged 16 after she won a beauty competition, which her proud mother had entered her into.

Campaigns for the likes of Bravissimo, Foster’s and Walker’s crisps followed, as well as shoots with lads’ mags such as GQ, Loaded and FHM.
FHM dubbed Kelly, who is currently in a long-term relationship with Italian Jeremy Parisi, the winner of their 100 Sexiest Women in the World list in 2005, which polled 15million people.
Meanwhile, Kelly, a SlimFast celebrity weight loss ambassador, also admitted to gaining weight during lockdown and said she’s previously struggled with her body image.
She said: ‘I learnt many life lessons during lockdown, like how to bake the perfect sourdough pizza and how to make the tastiest homemade ice cream!
‘Whilst it’s really important to show the world that not all beauty is a size eight – on the other hand, for me lockdown led to lots of daily ‘snacksidents’, the inevitable weight gain and not feeling so great about myself.
‘So now I’m now ready to press my “reset” button and rediscover my leaner, happier and healthier self, thanks to SlimFast.’
