JET-SETTING model and actress Kelly Brook came back to her roots at the weekend, revisiting her home town, Rochester.

She was seen relaxing with friends and family in the beer garden of the Prince of Wales pub in Cecil Road. With her was her actor boyfriend Jason Statham.

The 22-year-old has hit the headlines again with the release of pictures from her latest modelling photoshoot and is working on a new film.

Pub manager Jim Martin said: "She and her group were in the pub for about two-and-a-half hours. It seems she is only back for a little while and visiting her mum and dad. It was nice to see her in Rochester again. She has visited this pub when she has come home before."

Kelly is also reported to be working on her new film, sci-fi thriller Absolon, which is being filmed in Canada. It is her biggest role so far. She now lives in Los Angeles with Jason, who is best-known for his part in the hit British film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
