Kelly Brook has 'traumatic' childhood memories

Actress-model Kelly Brook has opened up about experiencing "horrific" and "traumatic" times during her growing up days. She grew up in Kent, South East England.

Brook has revealed that although she enjoyed some aspects of growing up, she used to dread the weekends as a child as it meant going to the local pub with her parents who often got too drunk, resulting in regular fights. "I used to dread the weekends growing up. Sundays especially. Sunday was pub day. We used to have a roast dinner every Sunday, and every other Sunday it would be burnt,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

"My parents would spend too long in the, come home p****d and eat the burnt Sunday lunch. Then there would be a fight and the police would be called. Or my dad would drive off in his truck,” she added. Brook also remembers one occasion when the police took her father, who died from cancer in 2007 , away kicking and screaming.
