Kelly Brook shows off some serious cleavage and kisses co-star Elisha Cuthbert in upcoming episode of One Big Happy... after critics slam the show

Kelly Brook has been keeping her head held high despite the first reviews for her new US TV show One Big Happy being bad across the board.

And her confidence in the success of her show may have something to do with the British star's outfit for the second episode as well as some tongue action between her character and Elisha Cuthbert's.

In stills from the upcoming instalment of the show, the 35-year-old is seen showing off a lot of cleavage, wearing a very low-cut purple dress, and kissing both her male and female co-stars.
