Kelly Brook reveals the painful injuries she endured during gruelling London Marathon training ahead of the race: 'Nothing prepares you'

Daily Mail​26-04-2025

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.'

Cruz Beckham post heartbreaking family snap after brother Brooklyn tells them he ‘wants no contact'

Brooklyn was understood to be unhappy at discovering his father's knighthood in the press cruz control Cruz Beckham post heartbreaking family snap after brother Brooklyn tells them he 'wants no contact' CRUZ Beckham has shared a throwback family snap amid the ongoing family feud between the Beckhams. The youngest son of David and Victoria appeared to be looking back at happier times in the family as he shared an old snap of the three brothers with their mum after she had just given birth to daughter, Harper Seven. 5 Cruz has shared a throwback snap of his family amid the ongoing feud Credit: Instagram 5 The family are locked in a feud Credit: Instagram/victoriabeckham The snap, believed to be taken in 2011, showed the three boys beaming down the lens of the camera as they snuggled up to their mum. Victoria tenderly held her daughter in the heartwarming picture. Cruz's decision to upload the image is very telling amid ongoing tension in the family after Brooklyn decided he no longer wanted contact with his famous family. Cruz did not add any captions nor did he tag his family members in the snap. Earlier today, it was revealed that Brooklyn is refusing to reply to messages amid the bitter feud, according to reports. The 26-year-old, who lives in LA with wife Nicola Peltz, 30, has no desire to speak to his parents or siblings after only learning about his dad's knighthood in the press, an insider has told Page Six. The sourced said: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.' However, a source close to Brooklyn denied this and said, "this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father." The Sun has contacted representatives for Brooklyn and the Beckhams for comment. England legend David will be knighted as part of King Charles' birthday honours. Peltz-Beckham's respond to reports of family feud It's a title he has coveted for some time and it means Victoria will be come Lady Beckham. David was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011 after helping to secure the London 2012 Olympics. But he was blocked from getting the title by the Honours Committee after becoming caught up in a tax avoidance scheme, along with many other stars. His finances were cleared by the taxman at least four years ago - paving the way for him to finally get the coveted honour. Just weeks ago we revealed how David and Victoria feel there might be no way to reconcile with their eldest child. Brooklyn, who was a no-show at David's star-studded 50th birthday celebrations last month, shared a video of himself and Nicola riding on his motorbike and wrote: 'My whole world. I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.' Those close to the Beckhams said the message seemed 'very pointed'. A source added: 'It shows how much this situation with his family has escalated. 5 Brooklyn has cut all contact with his family Credit: Getty 5 Brooklyn has been going through a difficult time Credit: Getty "It's very sad for everyone involved, especially David and Victoria who love him very much. This isn't the Brooklyn his family knows and loves. 'This post was like a dagger to their hearts but they will always be there for Brooklyn.' Tensions became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria, 51, on Mother's Day. He then failed to show at any of David's 50th birthday parties. His mum and dad have continued to acknowledge him on social media, but pals of Brooklyn and Nicola suggested that was for show. The Sun revealed that the couple recently had dinner in California with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were 'very empathetic'.
