Kelly Brook is obsessed with gardening.

The actress recently bought herself a greenhouse for her new Kent home and can’t tear herself away from tending to her vegetables.

Kelly said: "I love my new house in Kent. It’s so nice to have fresh air and a garden. I’m growing herbs and vegetables and I even have a greenhouse. It’s hilarious. I’m still learning though so I have someone helping me - I love it, it’s my new hobby!"

While Kelly loves her idyllic countryside retreat, she admits the wildlife terrifies her.

The brunette, who is engaged to actor Billz Zane, is nervous about what animals might jump out at her.

She added: "You walk past a bush admiring the sky and countryside and then suddenly a big bird will go ‘Wah! Wah!’ Usually it’s a big pheasant and they frighten the life out of me!"
