She’s set to wed her boyfriend of seven years, Jeremy Parisi, ‘in the coming weeks’, after accepting his low-key proposal.

And Kelly Brook has shared that she won’t be doing any slimming down for the big day, admitting that she is ‘so happy’ with her appearance.

Explaining: ‘I’m the happiest when I’m a size 12’, which she currently is – the 42-year-old has opened up about her previous struggles with weight and how she sticks to an active lifestyle now.

Talking to , the former model admitted that she is keeping her wedding plans under wraps, but denied that she would be doing any pre-wedding dieting.

‘Oh, no [I’m not going on a diet].I’ve not even really thought about that, to be honest. I’ve been on a diet plan for a few years now, and I’m at my weight that I love and I will stay at this weight no matter what’s coming up in the future,’ she replied when questioned on the big day prep.

The star is thought to be set to wed her fiancé in the coming weeks, with reports that the pair have been viewing venues across Italy, where Jeremy hails from.

A source recently told : ‘Kelly and Jeremy are getting married this summer in Italy.They kept it quiet for as long as they could but they’re happy and can’t wait to make it official. 

But staying coy over the day, she explained: ‘I just have to protect my partner. He’s not in the public eye and he doesn’t typically like to talk about things that we do privately.

‘As much as I’m a big mouth and like to tell everything that I’ve got going on, he’s the complete opposite.And I think you have to respect your partner’s wishes.’

Kelly, who is an ambassador for hcg diet phase 1 company Slimfast, also touched on her weight woes from the past – before reaching the happy point she is at now. 

Admitting that being in a relationship led to her gaining weight, she explained: ‘I was definitely somebody who didn’t eat that much when I met Jeremy.I didn’t really have a relationship with food, to be honest. 

‘In any relationship, you always tend to put on weight. You get happy, you get comfortable. You sit in more and go out clubbing less. You are totally in this love bubble, and that definitely happened to me.’

But the star admitted that looking back at old pictures has made her realise that ‘thinner is not happier’. 

‘I’m the happiest when I’m a size 12 [her current size] – that’s when I fit into all my clothes.I don’t mind putting on a bikini. That’s my happy weight for my body frame, but that’s not everyone’s happy weight,’ she added.

While detailing that she enjoys pilates, walking the dog and gardening to keep healthy and active.

Kelly is finally set to say ‘I do’ to beau Jeremy after the pair have enjoyed a notoriously private seven-year relationship, which began when the model ‘slid into his DMs’ after seeing him online.

Opening up about her romance with her ‘best friend and soulmate’, Kelly recently told : ‘I’ve found someone who can keep up with me and the lifestyle that I love. 

The model – a lads’ mag favourite in the nineties – has been engaged before to actors Jason Statham and Billy Zane, rugby player Thom Evans and Gladiator David McIntosh. 

She also dated rugby lothario Danny Cipriani periodically between 2008 and 2010.
