Kelly Brook has defended herself after being heavily criticised for digitally editing her Instagram photos.

Earlier this week, Kelly attended the opening of a restaurant in London, stealing the show on the red carpet in an eye-catching dress.

Kelly Brook on the red carpet

However, when she later shared some photos from the night online, some followers noticed that she was looking decidedly different to how she looked in the red carpet snaps.

Most notably, that her waist was looking decidedly smaller on Instagram.

Kelly came under fire for sharing this digitally-manipulated photo

After facing a backlash for the photoshopped snaps, Kelly later stuck up for herself in another post, defending her use of the tool.

In a lengthy Instagram post, she insisted that the photos she shared were “not unrealistic to who I am”, writing: “I embrace my curves and love my body.

“Slightly photoshopping pics is no different to women wearing fake hair, putting chicken fillets in their bras, squeezing into Spanx or having filler and Botox in their face. None of which I do."


She rounded off the post insisting her followers should not dwell on the negative, adding: “We all want to look our best in pics. So let's all focus on the positive and be nice to each other.

“Having your waist smaller makes your curves bigger! I love that and that's the look I aspire too [sic].”

When Kristen Stewart (awkwardly) posed on the cover of Glamour, she too fell victim to the Photoshop madness. The potentially cute photo is ruined by a strange choice to cut off half of her arm (which somehow disappears into her leg).

We still don't know what this was about but it seems more relevant than ever. Did Wills dye his hair just for the Hello cover shoot? Or was someone playing around with the color and contrast in everyone's favorite retouching program?

This Campari campaign morphed Jessica Alba into a much (much) thinner version of herself. While she looks perfectly fit in both images, if the originals hadn't been leaked, we probably would have actually believed our eyes.

Is it just us, or does Paris Hilton looks faker than ever on this Vanity Fair cover? Her strangely smooth face actually creeps us out to be honest.

Some were shocked at Kate Middleton's frail frame in her Alexander McQueen gown on her wedding day. But a Grazia magazine retoucher decided to take it up a notch by airbrushing her already tiny waist, to look just like a life-size Barbie's instead.

Here's an interesting spin: Cristiano Ronaldo's model girlfriend Irina Shayk claims GQ Spain Photoshopped the underwear right off of her and that she never posed in the buff in the first place. She took the Spanish glossy to court over the pics.

Kate Moss and her eight-year-old-daughter Lila Grace are as pretty as can be in this September 2011 Vogue spread. But unfortunately, Lila Grace and her poor fingers are the victims in this Photoshop disaster.

At 44-years-old, Julia Roberts looks pretty amazing. And while the actress still looks pretty in this Lancome ad, we just wish they didn't make her skin look so freakishly smooth.

Last time we checked, Khloe Kardashian is noticeably taller than both Kim and Kourtney... Khloe, who at 5'10 normally towers over her pint-sized sisters, apparently shrunk down to "fit" the frame for this Sears campaign shot by Annie Leibovitz. And what's going on with Khloe's right hand?

Just wondering, but who's that girl in these Rimmel ads? The faulty campaign featured a Photoshopped image of someone who resembled a Zooey Deschanel lookalike with plastic surgery gone wrong.

Photoshop was used and abused on the cover of Charlize Theron's Los Angeles Confidential cover. Her hand looks more like a paw (or claw) as it appears that her fingers have all melted together. Creepy!

Grazia airbrushed one of Megan Fox's tattoos off for one of their covers. The tattoo that vanished? The Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."
