Who?

AKA: Buxom ex-Big Breakfast babe, wannabe LA actress

Years racked up: 24

Known for?: Being legendarily hopeless at presenting the Big Breakfast a few years back, wearing mere scraps of clothing at premieres, and finally heading out to La-La land to make it in the biz, and us waiting...and waiting...for her to actually do something.

Is involved in a love thing with...

Who? Billy Zane

AKA: Billy the Cad

Years racked up: 38

Known for?: Being a suave, handsome Errol Flynn-alike who's appeared in a string of Hollywood hits (Memphis Belle, Dead Calm, Titanic), but never really broke through the A-list rope.

Romance rocketed when: Oooh, this is a scandalous one. Usually hanging off the arm of Lock Stock meathead Jason Statham — they've been together for five years — Kelly is reported to have hooked up with Billy on the set of their new movie Three. After being snapped looking cosy in St Tropez, the fledgling lovebirds have been spotted together at the Electric in London and swish restaurant La Colombe D'Or in Cannes.

Make or break: Poor old cuckolded Jason dumped Kelly in a fury when he realised she was enjoying the company of Mr Zane just a touch too much. But this wasn't until after he'd insisted to a tabloid paper "You've got it wrong, she's never been to St. Tropez in her life," when they printed pics of Kelly and Billy, er, in St Tropez. So they’re now free to flaunt their fling as much as possible...

Soppy speak: Not much to report as yet, apart from the oh-so-predictable PR quote that they’re "just good friends". Yep, I treat all my "good friends" like that, too...

Biz Bitch says: Billy's known as a 'serial seducer' and Kelly's just escaped the clutches of a five-year-relationship. Sounds like a match made in heaven, no? Hell, we don't care, if this is the way our Kell likes to go about her rebound romances, we're in awe of her choice. Nice one — but we won't be buying our hats just yet.
