British model Kelly Brook to star in Australian soap opera 'Neighbours'

British model/actress Kelly Brook is set to star in Australian soap opera Neighbours after she allegedly decided to move Down Under with her rugby player boyfriend Danny Cipriani.

Cipriani, 22, who signed for Melbourne Rebels, whose club is in the city where Neighbours is being filmed, will be moving at the end of his current season with London Wasps.

"She is really excited about going to Australia, and to get an approach from Neighbours is a real bonus," the Daily Star quoted a pal of Brook's as saying.

"Show bosses are planning to freshen it up to mark 25 years on the box and Kelly is just the sort of glamorous star they want," the friend added of 30-year-old Brook taking part in the show.
