Kelly Brook - 'Natural' Kelly Brook hits back at Katie Price

'Natural' Kelly Brook hits back at Katie Price

Kelly Brook has hit back at Katie Price's jibes about her weight.

Following glamour babe Katie's harsh comment about fellow model Kelly, calling her a ''heffer'' because of her curvy figure, the 'Piranha 3D' actress claims she is proud of her womanly body and feels she is a much more ''natural'' representation of real women.

Asked whether she sees herself as a role model for girls, the busty brunette told Britain's OK! magazine: ''I didn't until recently! Then when I was attacked by another female celebrity, so many women jumped to my defence - I was overwhelmed.

''Women would contact me and say they loved my body and that I was beautiful. I was so touched. It's hard being 33 years old and still modelling but I do it because it's nice to have a real representation of a woman out there.

''So now I'm very proud to be curvy, prouder than ever because of these beautiful strong women that had my back. I love that women like my body! They can relate to me because they can see I eat and don't spend my life going to the gym or having surgery. I just approach life in a much more natural way.''

Katie - also known as Jordan - is renowned for her surgically-enhanced breasts and has spoken openly about taking her love of facial fillers too far, whereas Kelly insists she would never resort to a cosmetic surgery like her rival since it makes women look ''horrible'' and much older than they actually are.

Kelly said: ''It's not for me. I like a more natural look and I'm an actress so my face needs to have expression and actually move. Faces with too much filler look horrible. So many girls do it as a quick fix and it just makes you look older.''
