Occupation: Model/TV Presenter/Actress. Education: 9 GCSEs in English, English Literature, Maths, History, Geography, Biology, Drama, Media Studies and French. Career History: Upon leaving school, Kelly was accepted for a place at the prestigious Italia Conte stage school in London. Kelly's modelling career began when her mother, unknown to her, sent a photo to a local newspaper's beauty competition. The photograph was published and she was hired by a modelling agency to front an advertising campaign for KMC, a local flooring company. Her first TV appearance was on the satellite television channel Granada Men and Motors; her next appearance was in an advert for Sure deodorant with presenter Jonathan Ross. Her big break came in February 1999 when she co-hosted Channel 4's 'The Big Breakfast' with Johnny Vaughan. Later in the year she was controversially sacked; she only found out when she saw the headlines in newspapers whilst on holiday. Kelly wasn't out of work for long however as she was quickly hired to promote the latest range of bra's from Triumph International, in which she appeared on the largest billboard advertisement in the U.K. - some 50ft high. She was soon back on TV presenting MTV Select in the U.K. as well as MTV Asia.

The big screen was next with minor roles in independent movies 'Sorted' and 'Ripper', before she took to the stage in the role of 'Anya' for the play 'Eye Contact' during it's short run in London. After seeking work in the US with then fiance Jason Statham, she was hired by Warner Brothers for the show 'The (Mis)Adventures of Fiona Plum', which was canned by the network before being aired. The network liked what they saw and she was offered a role in the series 'Smallville'.
