Kelly Brook dating British comic?

Kelly Brook is reportedly secretly dating a British comedian

The stunning British model has reportedly been seeing Jack Whitehall for months, despite holidaying with ex-boyfriend Danny Cipriani over the festive season and being spotted with rugby player Thom Evans.

A close friend of Jack's told the Daily Star newspaper: "They've been seeing each other a few months.

"They hooked up for the first time at the beginning of November and get along really well. Just before Christmas, Jack was telling me about it. He seemed really happy, as you can imagine. Kelly's an amazing girl.

"He was full of praise for her and said she was a fantastic woman. He's definitely one lucky fellow. None of his mates can believe his luck.

"But Jack's a great guy. He's really funny and stylish. The ladies tend to love him. Fair play to him, he deserves it."

Kelly, 31, and Jack, 22, were first linked in November last year, when they got a taxi home together after an event in London.

At the time, however, Jack played down any hint of romance, saying they were just friends playing a trick on Danny, whom he accused of trying to chat up his girlfriend in front of him.

He said: "I hate Danny Cipriani. I was in a club with my girlfriend and he came up and in front of me was like, 'Me and you should go for dinner.'"

He added that his girlfriend had turned him down, saying he was "short".

Kelly's recent vacation with Danny - who she split from last June after 22 months of dating - was said to be just "friends meeting up".
