Kelly Brook has declared she's a 'happy and healthy' size 12 as she admitted 'some of the skinniest times in my life have been my most miserable.'

The TV and radio presenter also insisted body confidence 'comes with age' as she wants to look like a 'good 40 year old' as opposed to appearing younger.
