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

Kelly Brook 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 compeтιтive 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 compeтιтive 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 ambᴀssador.

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 ᴀssistance 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.’
