Kelly Brook dons beret and flirty skirt as she films scenes for new film Taking Stock

She is trying to establish herself as a serious actress by starring in an independent film.

But former glamour model Kelly Brook is making sure she looks good while doing so.

The 33-year-old showed off her slender legs in a flirty short skirt as she shot a scene for her new flick Taking Stock in London on Thursday.

The brunette paired the floral skirt with high heels and a black T-shirt as she sipped on a hot beverage in between takes.

Kelly added a French touch with a black beret and wore her brown hair in loose waves over her shoulders.

She wore a generous dusting of blusher on her cheeks and highlighted her eyes with black liner and lips with a rose-tinted lipstick.

It was announced last week that Kelly had been cast in writer/director Maeve Murphy's new comedy drama, which is inspired by Bonnie and Clyde.

It stars Kelly as a retail worker whose world falls apart when her boyfriend dumps her and the shop she works in goes into liquidation.

Without a job, Kelly hatches a plan to rob the store she works in on their last day of trading, but in typical fashion, things don't end up as planned.

Announcing the role last week, Kelly enthused: 'It is so important that we continue to support British filmmaking and Maeve has written one of the best scripts I've read in a long time.

'I can't wait to get back to doing what I love, which is being on set and working with a hugely talented cast and crew.'

Getting a touch-up: Kelly had her hair adjusted in between takes

Kelly started her big-screen career 10 years ago with a brief role as Seth Green's girlfriend in The Italian Job, which starred her then-boyfriend Jason Statham.

She then secured her first leading role in Brit indie film School For Seduction, playing an Italian temptress.

In 2005, she starred in ill-fated desert island thriller Three, where she met her ex-fiance Billy Zane.

Despite a West End premiere, the film was panned by critics and went straight to DVD in America.

The couple teamed up again for another water-themed movie Fishtails, a romance in the same vein as Splash which saw Kelly playing a mermaid.
