Kelly Brook has confirmed she's in the running for a role in the 'Baywatch' film.
The 36-year-old beauty has had a read-through of the script and has had talks with producers about a part in the movie - based on the hugely popular TV series which starred Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff - but she doesn't yet know if she will be joining the cast which already includes Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.
In an interview on 'Alan Carr New Year's Specstacular', she said: "They're remaking 'Baywatch' with Zac Efron and The Rock. But they are still writing it. I've read the script and they are rewriting it so I don't know if there is a role in there for me. I'm a bit old to play Pamela Anderson role so I don't know, but I know all the producers and it's funny and we'll see. I don't know."
Kelly is sure if she does end up appearing in the movie she will end up in a bikini or less because most roles she takes on require her to flaunt her enviable figure.
Host Alan quizzed the busty brunette on her swimming ability, asking: "I've seen you swimming in that film 'Piranha' and that current must have been strong because it took all of your clothes off. Can you swim?"
To which Kelly replied: "Yeah I can. I end up in a bikini in most things I do."
Other famous beauties said to be in the running for roles in 'Baywatch' include Kate Upton, 23, Charlotte McKinney, 22, and 'Game of Thrones' actress Sophie Turner, 19.
'Alan Carr New Year's Specstacular' airs at 9pm on December 31 on Channel 4.

Martin Freeman thinks he's "hated".
The 44-year-old actor - who starred in the 'Hobbit' film franchise and is set to appear in the eagerly-awaited 'Captain America: Civil War' - believes he's a divisive figure among the public, but he appreciates the positive reaction he receives from his own fans.
Asked about his own popularity, Martin told BANG Showbiz: "It's nice that people like things. I'd rather be liked than hated - and of course, I am also hated.
"But it's good to work on things that people watch. I try not to take too much notice of that side of things. If you start playing the result before you've done the game ... you have to get your head down and do the work first."
However, as Martin prepares to make his first on-screen appearance alongside some of Marvel's most famous characters, such as Captain America and Iron Man, he admitted he's simply riding in the slipstream of the studio's success.
The actor - who also stars alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in the British crime drama series 'Sherlock' - said: "I can't take any credit for Marvel. That's a train that was already moving before I got on."

Melissa McCarthy is "afraid" of guns.
The 45-year-old actress had to work with firearms in both 'The Heat' and 'Spy' but admits she wasn't "super-comfortable" shooting any scenes with them.
Discussing her role as a CIA operative in 'Spy', she said: "I had trained with guns for 'The Heat' as well, but I'm afraid of guns.
"I'm not super-comfortable with them but it's a part of law enforcement so I wanted to make sure I handled them right...
"I don't ever want to look like I don't know how to hold a gun because nobody gets to do that job if they don't know what they're doing."
And Melissa admits it was tough to look "cool" while shooting action scenes because they are so taxing, but she insists that's part of the "fun".
She said: "The fighting, the running - I was just constantly like, 'Who am I chasing now and why am I in heels?'
"I've got a lot of dialogue and I'm running four blocks and there are stairs.
"Budapest, where we shot the film, is so beautiful and Paul [Feig, director] kept finding these staircases. By the fifth take, you've done 20 flights.
"I think anyone, by their 20th flight, is a little out of breath. It's hard to look cool when you're gasping for air but that was the fun of it."

Rob Marshall was "relieved" 'Into the Woods' was well-received.
The 55-year-old filmmaker was nervous about helming the big screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's award-winning musical because he had a lot to live up to, so was thrilled with the reception the film - which starred the likes of Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick and Johnny Depp - received.
Quizzed on how he'd felt over the reviews, he said: "A bit relieved. It's always tricky with a musical and bringing it to the screen because you don't know what the appetite will be around the world and on top of that you have the Sondheim factor."
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' filmmaker admits he was also anxious about living up to Sondheim's expectations as he wanted the film to live up to the success of the stage show.
He explained: "He is challenging and yet ... I don't know if it's a challenge but it's certainly something you reach for and I think that Sondheim really raises a bar and I felt that when we were doing this we weren't seeing the lowest common denominator, we were really reaching for something that will touch that many people and that's way more rewarding for me and this group we got together."

Angelina Jolie hates seeing herself on screen.
The 40-year-old beauty admits one of the things she found most difficult about making 'By the Sea' was having to direct herself alongside husband Brad Pitt because she hates watching herself back.
She admitted: "I don't like seeing myself on camera, which made it very difficult.
"But I wanted to be able to have this experience with him."
The couple - who raise six children together - wanted to make the film after they got married because they thought it would bring them a "deeper love and understanding".
She said: "We didn't have a honeymoon. This was our honeymoon, which was very strange.
"I think it was just that time, when we were feeling like we wanted to be together more.
"We just wanted to not go through life on different projects.
"We thought, 'Let's try and be closer, let's try to have a deeper love and a deeper understanding of each other, and let's go further. ' It all came together at once."
And Angelina was thrilled by Brad's performance in the movie.
She said: "I know I'm biased but I think his performance is very strong. It's very emotional. It was just so different."
But she found it difficult working on scenes where they argued.
She added to Total Film magazine: "It is one of the strangest things to direct your husband to fight with you."

Monica Bellucci was "confused" when she was asked to star in 'Spectre'.
The 51-year-old actress thinks it is "wonderful" that director Sam Mendes wanted to cast a "mature" woman in the movie and thinks her inclusion opposite Daniel Craig as 007 made the movie "very modern".
She said: "When I first met Sam Mendes, I was a bit confused and said to him, 'I'm 50 years old. What am I going to do at 50 in a Bond film?'
"Sam explained they wanted a mature woman on the screen that she didn't have to look 40 or 35, she actually had to look like she was 50 and I thought it was wonderful...
"This is the first time James Bond has held a woman who is older than him in his arms and that means it's a very modern concept.
"It proves that femininity is still there even though a woman becomes older."
Monica thinks Daniel is a "wonderful" James Bond because he shows so many sides to the character.
She explained: "He is a wonderful James Bond. As an actor, he is so eclectic because he has this capacity to be tender and to be delicate and at the same time, very strong and violent.
"James Bond is a female fantasy because he's courageous, he's a gentleman and he can kill for you.
"But Daniel has made Bond able to become more approachable in some ways, almost more human. He makes Bond something special."

Seth Rogen cries watching cartoons.
The Hollywood star has appeared in a host of successful comedies during his career - including 'Superbad' and 'The Interview' - but has revealed that it's cartoons and animated movies that are best at stirring his emotions.
Seth shared: "Those Pixar movies are good at emotionally manipulating people. 'Up' - the beginning of 'Up', there's no way not to cry."
And the 33-year-old star conceded that he's no stranger to shedding tears while watching animated movies, admitting that the 'Toy Story' franchise has moved him in a similar way.
He revealed: "'Toy Story 2' and 3 both have parts that will make you cry ever time. No one makes you cry more than cartoons, though. Or any movie where a dog dies, I'll cry."
However, Seth also confessed that it isn't difficult to make him shed tears and he expects to do so when he finally gets round to watching the latest Pixar hit 'Inside Out'.
The actor said: "I cry pretty easily at movies. I haven't watched 'Inside Out' yet because I know how much I'm going to cry."

Quentin Tarantino's favourite film of 2015 is 'Mad Max: Fury Road'.
The 'Hateful Eight' filmmaker found it hard to admit the movie was the best as he wasn't keen on the idea of Tom Hardy replacing Mel Gibson as the titular character Mad Max Rockatansky at first, but he thinks the change was "pretty good" and even watched the film three times.
Asked for his top movie of the year, he told Cinemablend: "It would have to be the 'Mad Max' movie, 'Fury Road'....I got a print of Mad Max on 35mm and I watched it in my house, and I had it all weekend and I ended up watching it three different times.
"And I resisted seeing it for a while because I was like, 'Mad Max without Mel Gibson? Forget that!' In a world where Mel Gibson exists, how can you cast Tom Hardy? So, I even wanted to get all defiant about it and #NotMyMax.
"Then I saw the movie and, 'OK, it's terrific,' and he's pretty good in it, I have to admit, he's pretty good."
Meanwhile, Tarantino, 52, received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday (21.12.15).
The legendary film director - whose credits include 'Pulp Fiction', 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Django Unchained' - was joined by some of the cast of his latest movie 'The Hateful Eight', including his long-time friend and collaborator Samuel L. Jackson, for the ceremony in Hollywood, California.

Adam Driver found it "terrifying" to act alongside Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.
However, the 32-year-old actor - who stars as villain Kylo Ren in the film's new instalment 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' - also said it was "inspiring" to join the veterans on set.
He explained: "They didn't seem to be people who were like, 'Let me sit you down and tell me what your experience is going to be.' I feel like they're just, even though they obviously were in the original trilogy exhibit to come back to it didn't seem like, maybe a sense of 'been there, done that', so they are not excited about.
"There still was an ambition in trying to get it right and knowing these characters so well and still trying to make it deeper or more resonant. They very much lead by example. That is very inspiring to see, and also terrifying, because no matter how long you get to do this job, you never get to quite figure it out seems, it is both comforting and terrifying."
Meanwhile, the 'Girls' star previously admitted his time with the 'Star Wars' cast was similar to the companionship he experienced in the Marines.
He said: "It's a group of strangers forced to be intimate in a short amount of time. A group of people trying to accomplish a mission greater than themselves. It's not about you. You have to know your role within a team and there's someone who's leading it and, if you're lucky, they know what they're doing."
