Kelly Brook only lasts 60 seconds on Midsomer Murders

Kelly Brook’s ‘Midsomer Murders’ appearance only lasts 60 seconds.
The 39-year-old model is said to have filmed scenes for the crime drama two years ago as her blushing bride character Laurel meets her maker on her big day, and it seems her screen time is going to be short lived.
As reported by the Daily Star newspaper’s Hot TV column, Kelly – whose episode ‘Til Death Us Do Part’ is part of the show’s 20th anniversary celebrations – appears for just one minute in the opening scenes, dancing with her groom and speaking just two lines before she’s killed off.
In an emotional farewell to an elderly wedding guest leaving the bash, she says: "Oh don’t, you’re gonna start me off again."
Her other line is simply: "Bye."
There is a silver lining for Kelly though, with the report noting that she does appear again for 20 seconds at the end of the episode in a flashback revealing who killed her.
Although the episode was filmed two years ago, ITV hasn’t confirmed when it will air, while there are also another three unseen stories created for the drama’s anniversary.
A spokesman said: "Each ‘Midsomer Murders’ film is a self contained story and consequently it gives us the flexibility to play as special episodes in the schedule rather than as a series."
Kelly – who filmed alongside Neil Dudgeon, who plays DCI John Barnaby. – has been wanted by show bosses for some time after confessing her love for the series.
She previously said: "I want to go and die in an episode of ‘Midsomer Murders’ as that’s the show I love most.
"I can’t think why they haven’t asked me yet."
Kelly’s short stint in the show was revealed in August 2017, and she was said to be delighted at the prospect of starring in the programme.
