BILLY ZANE's actress fiancee Kelly Brook is following in the footsteps of Elizabeth Hurley and launching her own swimwear line.

The 26-year-old beauty, who will wed Zane in the summer (06), is keen to expand her talents and tackle the fashion industry.

She says, "I'm launching a swimwear line. It's something I co-designed with a few people. It's a really big step for me, getting into the business side of things. It will be called Kelly Brook Swimwear and will be on sale from March.

"Designing your own clothes is different to acting. You have complete control over what it ends up like. It's great, I loved it."
