BROOK'S FATHER DIES

Actress KELLY BROOK's father has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 57. The "devastated" Three star is currently performing on British TV talent show Strictly Come Dancing, but her future on the celebrity contest is in doubt following the passing of her dad Kenneth. He finally succumbed to the disease on Monday (26Nov07) at the family home in Rochester, Kent, England. A source tells British website thesun.co.uk, "Kelly, her mum Sandra and the rest of the family are devastated. But Kenneth was very ill for a long time. "At the moment, Kelly is considering whether to perform on Saturday (01Dec07) night's show." A spokesman for Brook - fiancee of Hollywood star Billy Zane - adds, "Kelly would like to thank the media for respecting her family's privacy during recent weeks and asks that they continue to at this difficult time. "Kelly will continue to honour her work commitments to the best of her abilities as her father would have wanted."
