It is not everyone’s dream to be a glamour girl, but one Kent lass has fallen into the path of modelling thanks to a friend’s tip-off. Reporter Karen Jeal caught up with Kelly Wortman to find out more

BLONDE beauty Kelly Wortman is out in front as a Playboy model hopeful.

The stunning post-graduate bared all to follow a naked ambition to become the lads’ mag’s best asset.

Kelly is now fronting a personal campaign to get as much support as possible to help her win.

What started out as a “bit of fun” for Kelly, of The Boulevard, Greenhithe, near Dartford, has turned into a model ambition.

The 22-year-old sent a picture of herself into Playboy’s model competition, waited a month to gain text votes, and was announced a monthly winner.

The 5ft 5in beauty has now been entered into the final, where she will be competing against nine others to be in with a chance of winning a trip to the Los Angeles Playboy mansion for a professional photo shoot.

When told she had won Kelly said she couldn’t believe it.

She said: “I was so shocked but excited.”

On her photoshoot, Kelly said: “I was really nervous because it was my first session so it was a little daunting, but the photographer and the team made me feel relaxed and once we got started I loved every minute of it.”

With one part of the competition done and dusted it is down to the public vote on whether they think Kelly has what it takes to go to LA.

“I want it so much. At the beginning it started as a bit of fun, but now I’m thinking about it more seriously,” she added.

Kelly is hoping to pursue a career in modelling but if it all goes wrong she has a degree in media, culture and communications to fall back on.

Voting is not due to start until December.
