Kelly Brook is going all out to break the US - by taking it all off on the small screen.

The Kent-born model, TV personality and occasional movie star has landed a starring role in One Big Happy - a sitcom exec-produced by showbiz big hitter Ellen DeGeneres.

[related]She plays a British barmaid called Prudence who gets engaged to Luke (Nick Zano) - who happens to be having a baby with his lesbian best friend Lizzy (Elisha Cuthbert).

Showing off her curvy (and pixelated) figure, she asks: "How would I do on the lesbian market? I don't think I've ever been appraised."

DeGeneres has denied claims that she's pushing a "lesbian agenda" with the sitcom, telling The Wrap: "It's not like I formed a production company and said, 'Bring me all your lesbian scripts'.

"Yes, there's a lesbian character, but it's a really funny show, and that's all I wanted to do, is put out really funny material, and smart and thought-provoking."

No broadcast date has been set by NBC for the series in the US as yet, but it's being primed for a big push.

There's also no news on whether it's been picked up by any UK broadcasters.
