Not quite like a duck to water: Kelly Brook struggles to stay standing as she tries to water-ski in Barbados

By Mail Online Reporter

'Now what did the instructor say?' Kelly Brook looks deep in concentration as she prepares for her water-skiing ride in Barbados earlier today


Since arriving on Barbados on Saturday, Kelly Brook has been wowing the paparazzi on a daily basis by showing off her curvy figure in a series of colourful bikinis.

But after spending most of her time lounging around in the sun, the model decided to challenge herself today and try her hand at water-skiing.

But given the terrified look on her face, we can assume she isn't quite so adept at water-skiing as she is as posing for the cameras.

After swiftly becoming a fan of jet skiing and even taking charge of the steering wheel of a yacht, the 30-year-old decided to try out water skiing.

Taking a speed boat ride with a few family friends, the smiling brunette was given a quick lesson on how to ride the skis across the sea.

But after putting on her lifejacket and strapping on her skis, her trademark smile was soon replaced by anxiety.

As the boat began to pull her along behind it, the model soon appeared terrified and looked like she was struggling to stand upright.

When she did eventually stand up, it wasn't long before she crashed backwards into the azure waters of the Caribbean sea.

Unfortunately for Kelly, she wasn't holidaying on the same island as TV presenter Christine Bleakley, who water skied across the English Channel earlier this year, who could have provided some useful tips.

And skiing wasn't the only water sport the model tried out today - she also went snorkelling.

Ms Brook jetted to the Caribbean on Saturday, a week after announcing she and rugby player Danny Cipriani, 22, had split after a 22 month romance.

Their split came just a few weeks after the pair were spotted looking close on holiday in Los Angeles together.

After their 'break' was announced, Ms Brook threw herself into socialising and was spotted out with a variety of friends - predominantly male - in various nightclubs and restaurants in London.

She was spotted dining with Glee actor Matthew Morrison on two occasions, prompting speculation he may be the next man in her life.

However, the TV star said: 'There's nothing going on with me and Kelly. She's lovely and I've known her for a while. We met when she was over in Los Angeles.'

And since venturing to the West Indies, she's given Cipriani a clear message he's the last thing on her mind as she's been enjoying the attentions of male holidaymakers.

In the past five days, Kelly has been flaunting her figure in a collection of bikinis and a racy blue cut-out swimsuit.
