Kelly Brook's tan disaster

Kelly Brook won't use fake tan after dying her skin orange.

The 31-year-old model-and-actress insists she now favours the "pale and interesting" look after a disaster when trying to make herself look sun-kissed.

She said: "When fake tan first came out, I applied it myself but went too far and ended up bright orange.

"It was horrendous, even my hands were streaky and orange. That's why I now go for the pale and interesting look."

While Kelly - who has been single since splitting from rugby ace Danny Cipriani last year - is hopeless with fake tan, she says her skills include being a good cook.

She said: "My cooking is pretty good, even if I do say so myself. I love doing a big roast dinner. Lamb and beef are my specialties."

Kelly also claimed she no longer enjoys partying, preferring quiet nights in with her friends.

She told FHM magazine: "I don't go out very much at all. I honestly prefer having dinner with some friends and then heading home early. I'm 31 remember, so not only am I getting too old for clubbing, I need to make sure I get my sleep."
