Brave smile: Kelly Brook is spotted out in London for the first time since her baby loss


She was left reeling after the tragic loss of her baby five months into pregnancy earlier this month.

But Kelly Brook mustered the strength to put on a brave face as she faced the cameras for the first time since her heartbreaking loss.

The 31-year-old model smiled brightly for photographers as she headed out in London just over a fortnight since losing her unborn baby girl.

Kelly ventured out with the support of friends after two weeks of laying low at her farmhouse in Kent, where she was being comforted by family and friends including fiancé Thom Evans.

But the beautiful brunette seemed determined to make her first tentative steps towards moving forward with her life, stepping out in a slinky pink animal-print dress and towering heels.

Kelly appeared to be enjoying her night out in London as she chatted to her girlfriends in the back of a cab, while fiancé Thom was nowhere to be seen.

The day before Kelly was spotted out for the first time since the terrible news emerged on May 10.

She ventured out on her own on a shopping trip near her home.

Wearing a backless summer frock and a Panama hat, the Piranha: 3D star was pictured carrying groceries to her car, including a large bunch of roses.

Miss Brook was almost five months pregnant when she lost the daughter she was expecting with ex-Scottish rugby international Thom Evans, 26.

The former TV presenter was said to be ‘over the moon’ at the prospect of becoming a mother for the first time.

She had announced she was pregnant after only four months of dating Evans.

After news that she had lost the child, friends described her as ‘devastated’. One said: ‘She’s at home and she’s being looked after by Thom and her mum Sandra.

‘There’s nothing you can say to anyone at a time like this – she just needs to be allowed some time alone to grieve.’
