Kelly Brook quits dancing show

Kelly Brook has pulled out of BBC One show Strictly Come Dancing following the death of her father on Monday.
BBC News reports that the 28-year-old had vowed to continue rehearsals for Saturday's live show in his memory, but found it "too difficult". Brook's father, Kenneth, 57, died following a long battle with cancer. "Kelly has been a fantastic part of the programme and will be sorely missed by everyone on the show," said a BBC spokeswoman.
Brook and professional dance partner Brendan Cole had been among the favourites to win the series.
