Bikini talent! Kelly Brook demonstrates in a Capoeira skills on a Brazilian beach (35 Pics)

Kelly Brook has tried her hand at acting, TV presenting and of course modelling, but here's a skill that remained locked away until now.

The 31-year-old demonstrated her gymnastic abilities while on the beach in Bahia, Brazil to the obvious delight of fellow beachgoers and the men teaching her how to dance.

She took to the sand with aplomb, wearing a rather flimsy bikini, pulling off cartwheels and bouncing around in the sun with a huge smile on her face.

Show me your moves: Kelly Brook partakes in a Capoeira session with an instructor on a Brazilian beach

Kelly showed off her fantastic curvy figure in a floral print bikini, with her hair tied back into a ponytail as she was put through her paces by a Capoeira instructor.

Capoeira is the traditional Brazilian martial art which combines elements of dance - in fact, some of the moves have been adopted by those who practice breakdancing.

It was created by descendants of African slaves with Brazilian native influences around the beginning of the 16th century.

Mortal combat: Kelly goes toe to toe with her instructor, unable to take the smile off her face

Much of the dances are made up of quick and complex moves, using mainly power, speed, and leverage for leg sweeps.

At one point Kelly pulled off a perfect cartwheel - stretching her legs out dead straight with her toes pointing towards the sky. 

And she also bent over backwards, literally, as she performed what's known as a back crab. 

She also went toe to toe with one of her instructors pulling off a high kick as he ducked underneath in one of the more common Capoeira moves.

Kelly was taking a break before embarking of filming for new sci-fi fantasy movie Heavy Metal, and perhaps ignoring the ridicule she received last week from Amanda Holden.

The Britain's Got Talent judge praised new panellist Alesha Dixon for having 'a brain' - insinuating Kelly didn't, which is why she was scrapped from series three after just two episodes.

However, Kelly shot back in an interview with Fabulous! magazine lashing out at new judge Alesha Dixon for quitting Strictly Come Dancing for the show.

She said it was a 'mistake' and branded Britain's Got Talent a 'circus' after criticising Alesha for leaving the 'classy' Strictly Come Dancing - which she has also taken part in.

Kelly said: 'I wish Alesha all the best � it�s a fantastic opportunity. But I thought she was great on Strictly and, personally, if I�d been a Strictly judge there�s nothing that would have taken me from that job.

'Strictly is the most fantastic, �lovely show with a very loyal following and it�s... classy.'

On BGT she said: 'The whole thing is a circus and I don�t want my life to be like that. I�ve got enough drama in my life without having to deal with Simon Cowell�s as well.'

'The only reason I joined was because Simon �persuaded me to do it. Just like he seems to do with everyone.'

Bending over backwards: The model-turned-actress pulls off another impressive move

She appeared happy and relaxed throughout her time on the beach, interacting with the instructors who were obviously pleased with their star pupil.

The former Big Breakfast host is on a girly holiday in Trancoso - a town situated in Porto Seguro in the state of Bahia - with her cousin Sally Griffiths, and it seems she spent most of her time wearing a bikini.

A few days ago she was pictured frolicking on the beach in a bikini bought from a local vendor while last Thursday she even shared her look with her 166,517 followers on Twitter by posting a photo of herself holding a coconut.

With the caption reading: 'Breakfast time.... Grab the Coconuts!!' it was probably safe to say that nobody would have been looking at the piece of fruit.

In the end! Who is yourname, beautiful lady ?

Delicate! Kelly Brook�s bikini latest collection for high street store New Look

She has the kind of body that women envy and men desire. Kelly Brook's voluptuous figure achieves that aesthetic Holy Grail of being both slim and curvaceous - without the aid of cosmetic surgery.

And just in time for Valentines's day, Kelly has poured her passion for lingerie - and her enviable curves - into her latest lingerie line for high street store New Look.

The vintage-inspired collection features delicate lace-trimmed bras, high-waisted knickers and suspender belts, all in baby soft pastel tones of the palest blush or floral pinks.

And according to Kelly's Twitter feed, the collection is selling well. 'New Look Lingerie Sales up 18% Great news thank you everyone,' she wrote earlier today.

Kelly explains that all the lingerie from her collection enhances girls' curves, rather than attempting to slim them down.

'I don't like minimiser bras,' she said in an interview with Now magazine. 'I think girls should embrace their curves - push 'em up! Lacy French knickers that accentuate your waist flatter us curvy girls.'

Knock-out: Kelly Brook models her latest collection for high street store New Look

'I have the whole collection I've designed for New Look too - it's so comfortable to wear and looks super-sexy.'

Clearly something of an enthusiast, Kelly, who has just returned from a beach holiday in Brazil where she showcased many of her bikini designs for New Look, also revealed that she has collected Agent Provocateur underwear since she was 19, wears Victoria Secret bras, and boasts a colourful array of Costella thongs.

The 34E model, who has previously posed for Michelle Mone's lingerie brand Ultimo, confessed that like screen siren Marilyn Monroe, she prefers to sleep without pyjamas, wearing only a spritz of her own signature scent, Fracas.

In the winter, she says she she might sneak on a pair of her boyfriend Thom Evans' socks, but for lounging Jack Wills pyjamas are hard to beat.

As for how she maintains that knock-out figure, Kelly says it's simple. She explained: 'My regime is: walk everywhere, have regular steam room sessions to get rid of toxins and find a good water. And plenty of sex - it's a great cardio workout!'

'My secret to instant sex appeal is confidence and being with someone who makes you feel like you're the only girl in the world,' she added.
'I can't bear the fact that girls these days think you have to be thin to be beautiful and successful,' she says.

'I'm not thin. I don't starve myself. I don't look at my face and body and think I need surgery or a boob job or a bum lift.

'It makes me very angry when women in the public eye talk about what work they've had done, because it makes other women feel devalued.

Brazil Beach! Kelly Brook enviable figure in a multi coloured bikini

She may design a swimwear range for New look but Kelly Brook chose not to wear one of her own bikinis on holiday recently.

The 32-year-old opted for a local style of attire while holidaying in Brazil last week.

The model was spotted showing off her enviable figure in a multi-coloured two-piece which she bought from a local beach vendor.

Showing off: The 32-year-old modelled her enviable figure as she took a dip in the sea

Brook looked totally at ease as she took a dip in the ocean, flicking her blonde wavy hair around as she did so.

The tiny swimwear which featured a red, purple, yellow and green trim highlighted her curves perfectly and certainly represented what the local women probably wear when they hit the beach.

Brook completed her look with a pair of dark sunglasses, and even wore a few friendship bracelets on her ankle.

 

Having a blast: The model looked in good spirits as she frolicked in the sea

Own Bikinis! The 32-year-old opted to choose a local bikini style 

The Britain's Got Talent judge praised new panellist Alesha Dixon for having 'a brain' - insinuating Kelly didn't, which is why she was scrapped from series three after just two episodes.

But it was straight back to work - and beauty - when she arrived in the UK.

Brook decided to head back to the 'dark side' and dyed her hair brunette once again, and it was all in preparation for a photo shoot with Rankin.

In a photo posted on her page, Brook can be seen posing a pair of Reebok trainers with her new dark hair as she lays on a gym bench.

Memorable moments: Brook is no stranger to showing off her curves in a bikini such as in Barbados in 2010 (L) and in the Bahamas in 2004
