Kelly Brook reveals the painful injuries she endured during gruelling London Marathon training ahead of the race: 'Nothing prepares you'
has revealed the very painful injuries she endured during her gruelling London Marathon training.
The TV personality, 45, is set to run the marathon on Sunday alongside her husband, Jeremy Parisi, whom she married in 2022.
She will join thousands of other runners, including fellow celebrities like Harry Judd, Joe Wicks, and Alexandra Burke - and there's one thing she knows she mustn't forget.
Speaking to The Sun, Kelly revealed she's stocked up on tubs of Vaseline after finding herself bleeding during training.
She said: 'I have gone through pots of Vaseline and on Sunday I was away. I was tapering and had a quick 10k to do.
'I panicked because I left my Vaseline at home so I went without. Nothing prepares you for the chaffing! I was bleeding after 10k.'

The former Page 3 model also recently admitted it's been 'challenging' training with her husband Jeremy.
She joked he 'has been like her carer' when it comes to running in recent months.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Kelly - who has been working with Slimfast - said running with Jeremy can also become quite competitive and challenging for her.
She said: 'In terms of training and doing things together on a physical level, that is a bit more challenging because he's super competitive and he's very fit and sometimes when he comes out on a run with me, it's like he's my carer!
'He's there giving me electrolytes, giving me another energy gel, he's there walking and I'm there shuffling thinking I'm running! It's harder for him.
'I don't want to be like that, I want to feel on par with him. I feel like I've let my fitness go a bit.
'This is why I'm a bit more of an advocate now and getting out and going for a run because I hadn't done it for years.'
While Kelly continues to strive to get her fitness on par with her husband's, she noted how running has vastly improved her mental health.
'Running gave me clarity and there was a whole different approach to everything I would do, I was so much more in control' she explained.
'I feel like the exercise has really helped with my mental health actually. More so than I thought.'
She added: 'We are having a bit of a lifestyle overhaul at the moment, which is amazing. We've just bought our house, we've been renting this for the last two years but we've now bought it so there's going to be decorating and doing lots of fun stuff.
'So I feel like we're going into a chapter of our life where as we get older, we just want to be healthier.... my husband turns 40 this year. I just feel like we're in a really good dynamic at the moment.'
Kelly also told how women put 'too much pressure' on themselves to lose weight.
The radio host went from a size 12 to 16 in 2018 after moving back to the UK from LA but dropped the weight with the help of SlimFast for which she is a brand ambassador.
Elsewhere in the interview, Kelly encouraged women not to stress too much about looking a certain way, especially in the eyes of their partners, as she noted that for the most part, men don't even 'notice' the body hang-ups that women do.
In a candid and open chat about weight loss, healthy living and body confidence, the star - who has maintained her weight with the assistance of SlimFast - said: 'We put so much pressure on ourselves, sometimes it doesn't even come from our other halves.
'They don't see it, they're not looking at the rolls, the back fat and the wobbly bits that we think they are. They don't notice it as much.'

Strictly Come Dancing line-up rumours revealed for 2025
Bosses are reportedly keen to avoid any further controversies this year, and are 'taking no chances' in bookings. Blue Peter presenters Joel Mawhinney and Shini Muthukrishnan are said to be in the running, along with Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla's son. According to the MailOnline, a host of famous faces have already been approached for this year's series, which is set to get underway in September. Other big names reportedly lined up include former I'm A Celebrity winner Georgia Toffolo, Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts, ex-Love Island star Dani Dyer, and former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan. A BBC insider reportedly told MailOnline: "There will be stringent checks, and asking around, and digging into potential stars' backgrounds to make sure that they're not choosing anyone who might damage the show. 'For years, there was the whole Strictly 'curse' where the contestants and professionals kept having affairs. But that stopped. "Changes were made to the partnerships and it worked. There have been other issues in the past couple of years, though. 'Going forward, those at the top want a wholesome image to shine through. No more scandal – just joy." It follows recent controversies on Strictly, where professional dancer Giovanni Pernice was the subject of an internal investigation. Recommended reading: Former BBC Radio Wales host Wynne Evans also issued a public apology for making what he called an 'inappropriate and unacceptable' comment during the Strictly live tour launch in December last year. Earlier this week, EastEnders' actor Jamie Borthwick was also suspended by the BBC after allegedly using a slur against disabled people while filming Strictly in Blackpool. The BBC declined to comment on any speculation regarding this year's series when approached by Newsquest.

Terry, 50, became one of seven born-again Christians in new snaps. As a public declaration of faith, Terry was dunked under the water in a baptism pool at the River Church in London's East End. 85-year-old Chris Lambrianou, who was once a member of gang 'The Firm' led by Ronnie and Reggie Kray, performed the baptisms with the church's pastor Dave Gill. Speaking about the experience, Terry said: "I've just been baptised and I feel absolutely amazing. "The service has been phenomenal today," he said to MailOnline. He affirmed how "great" he felt and added how it "was a long time coming". He added: "I'm really glad I did it." Chris, who carried out the baptism, spoke about the "spiritual high" he gets from performing them. "Baptising so many people gives me a spiritual high," he told the outlet.

East 17's Terry Coldwell With many lineup changes over the years, Terry has remained as one of the only members to have stuck with the band. Last year, Terry revealed he didn't think a reunion of the original line up would ever be on the horizon. "I've tried to get us together over the years but it all fell through. I've kind of had enough really," he told MailOnline last November. He then said in a recent documentary: "We don't talk. But I don't hold any grudges. "There were good times and there were bad times but that's like in any job. "We lived together basically, we worked for three years without a day off so of course we argued about things. "But I'm grateful for the times I shared with them." 7 Terry Coldwell, Brian Harvey, John Hendy and Tony Mortimer of East 17 pictured in 1995 Credit: Getty 7 Terry jas joined East London's River Church Credit: w8media/andy barnes
