Kelly Brook has landed the lead role in a new US comedy.
The British glamour model looks set to jump ship to Hollywood after being cast in the pilot episode of a new NBC sitcom called ‘One Big Happy’.
It is said the star will play the girlfriend of Luke (Nick Zano), who is planning to have a baby with his lesbian friend – played by Elisha Cuthbert.
Added to the comedy’s star power, Ellen DeGeneres is on board as the show’s producer, and it is believed a number of big names were interested in the role.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "A lot of actresses were up for this role so Kelly is over the moon about it."
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old beauty’s acting agent Alex Segal has claimed this may be a "career-changing" step for her.
He added: "This could be a career-changing role for Kelly. She has worked so hard throughout this process to be part of a funny, heart-warming and very relevant sitcom. I am over the moon for her."
It is said Kelly and her new fiance David McIntosh travelled to New York on Thursday (27.03.14) to sign her contract, and she will start work on the sitcom on Monday (31.03.14).
