Los Angeles, Feb 9 (IANS): Model Katie Price has labelled curvy model-actress Kelly Brook as a "heffer".

She made the comment in her newspaper column, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Price accused Brook, 33, of "comfort eating" her way through her recent split from rugby player Thom Evans, and admitted she was stunned to see just how "big" Brook is.

However, Price also acknowledged Brook's beauty by writing that while she is larger than she expected, she is "still hot".

"The pictures of Kelly modelling her latest New Look swimwear range in Miami don't seem to be airbrushed and I'm FLABbergasted to see how big Kelly really is. You're a heffer, Kelly, but still a hot one," Price wrote in The Sun.

But later in her column, Price admits that that while Brook is above average size for a model, she is still a "brilliant role model for young girls" due to her curvy frame.

A spokesperson for Brook declined to comment on Price's column.
