The real Kerri Parker....

Hey guys and girls, all about me: the real Kerri Louise Parker! Many of you have misconceptions about me - because apparently everything you read in the newspapers is ''true''!

The press has dubbed me anything and everything - usually a good girl, occassionally a bad one!

Several newspapers have been known to make up 'exclusive interviews' with me in the past - and whilst our lawyers thought ''fantastic!'' it does mean I've often had words put into my mouth - which I would never say! So in my own words - here I am!

From beauty queen to Page 3 model, from actress to entrepreneur - over the last 7 years as a full time model I've tried my hand at just about everything and loved every second of it! So lets start with just how I got to where I am today...

I grew up in Norfolk where I went to Dereham Neatherd High School where I got almost straight A grades in my 11 GCSE's, I also got my brown belt in Shotokan Karate at the age of 16.

After school I moved to the city to study A levels at Norwich City College. I studied A levels in Chemistry, Biology, Law, Psychology and Geography and I ended up with 2 A's, a B and a C (ok and an E but I never went to class!)

This gave me the opportunity to go to university and study medicine with the aim of becoming a doctor. Being a doctor was all I ever wanted to do from when I was a little girl, as I wanted to help people! I really wanted to work on a childrens ward to just help them all I could.

Then one day back in 2003 I saw an advert for FHM High Street Honeys in a womans magazne. Everyone had always told me I should model so I thought I'd give it a try! I was chosen for the top 100 out of over 6000 girls and appeared in FHM several times, within days of entering my pictures were featured in the News of the World! I was so excited and was running round my parents garden screaming!

After that I won lots of beauty pageants, Miss Norwich, Miss Norfolk, and Miss Commonwealth, I was also runner up at Miss British Isles and represented England at the Model of the Universe finals in Ghana, Africa, amongst other things.

also made the last round and got into the final 30 girls of Britain's Next Top Model but got thrown out for being 'a glamour model' of course the press went crazy about that!

In 2003 I also came second in the Max Power Babe contest and was determined to win it the next year! In 2004 I left my job at Microbiology to focus on my modelling, a month later I won Max Power Babe 2004 - a 3 day long competition of which over two thousand girls had entered.

Within weeks I had front covers and features in men's magazines, front pages of the press and page 3 appearances and was working with Jordan, Victoria Silverstd, Jaki Degg and Leilani at the Max Power shows!

To date I have had over 5 front covers of Max Power in the UK alone, a cover of their Max Babes special edition magazine, and countless front covers of their magazines in Europe.

I've graced their calendars and had countless features with them, and really do credit them for helping making my modelling dreams a reality.

The next few years saw even more front covers, and the start of my acting career, my biggest role being a speaking role in the Andie McDowell movie 'Inconceivable' and a credit on the IMDB!

I also had small roles in various films such as Lesbian Vampire Killers, The Bourne Ultimatum, Batman The Dark Knight (one of my smallest roles but which got me the most publicity) and recently spending a month on the set of the new Robin Hood with Ridley Scott who was amazing to work with.

I played the stand in role for Princess Isobella which was a great experience for me, I also once got to stand in for Megan Fox on How to Lose Friends and Alienate People which was fantastic and Megan Fox is a true idol of mine she was simply gorgeous!

I travelled the world with modelling, from Mexico with Maxim magazine to America as the face of a swimwear company in Florida. I appeared in magazines not only in the UK but all over the world including American FHM and Maxim, American Playboy, even African FHM! (As I found out when I was on holiday in Egypt and was getting recognised!)

In 2008 I decided I had achieved everything I wanted to in the modelling industry and applied to go back to medical school, passing my M-CAT exams with flying colours and interviews for the UEA Medical School then something else came and stopped me in my tracks...The Academy!

The Academy is without a doubt the biggest thing that has ever happened to me, and I am still gobsmacked at it's success (not that I have not worked hard for it to be as big as it has become!) It started off a small website advising girls on how to become a model, and just grew and grew!
