Earlier this week she was awarded the best bikini body beating Jennifer Lopez and Pippa Middleton to the top spot.

But Kelly Brook proved she has more bows to her string than just good looks and an incredible figure as she hosted the launch of a cider garden earlier today.

The model, 31, got into the summer spirit, despite the wet weather and showed off her hula-hooping skills at the Bulmers Cider Garden at Riverside Walkway in Southbank earlier today.

Despite the lack of sunshine the model donned a pair of bright red leather shorts and a cute white shirt with peter pan collar which she wore with a pair of black and white gingham peep-toe-heels.

And she didn’t let her shoes get in the way of having good time and was seen taking to the grass with not one, but five brightly coloured hula hoops.

Earlier in the day as she was getting ready for the appearance Kelly posted a retro-style snap of herself in hair and makeup.

Kelly was seen dressed in cute cherry print prom dress with rollers in her hair taking the picture in the mirror of her dressing room.

And she looked every inch the retro beauty in the antique-style photo taken using the Instagram application on her iPhone.

Kelly has been tweeting pictures of female silver screen sirens including a snap of Marilyn Monroe to her Twitter page in recent days and it seems that the actress and model decided to have a go at her own snap.

On Monday it was revealed that Kelly had topped the charts in a poll of both men and women who said she had the best bikini body of a range of celebrities.

The 31-year-old actress and model is famed for her hour-glass figure and it seems her curves were credited the best in the survey of 2000 people conducted by Gillette Venus.

Behavioural psychologist Donna Dawson said: ‘Kelly Brook’s perfectly symmetrical statistics of 34-24-34 give her a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7, which falls within the deemed optimum range for female attractiveness in Western society.
