Kelly Brook's buns aren't big enough

As Kelly Brook starts a run in Calendar Girls at the Noel Coward Theatre, Transport for London banned an advert for the play, because the buns covering Kelly Brook's boobs were too small for them.

Kelly Brook with her bunsKelly will replace Jerry Hall in the role of Celia in the play, which tells the story of Women's Institute members who decide to bare all for a charity calendar.

A Transport for London spokesman said: "We worked with the advertiser to ensure that the advert complied with our policy. We will be carrying an amended version of the advert on the Tube network."

The show producer, David Pugh said: "We've found ourselves in the world of censorship, we're in 1960s Russia. I find it incredible.

"I don't know what the buns would be in bra sizes but we've gone four sizes up.

"They said we were trying to titillate Tube travellers, I thought it was a joke.

"Someone is sitting in a dark room somewhere peering at any sort of nudity.

"The whole truth of the story that I'm doing is about this group of ordinary women who did something extraordinary. I'm replicating what they did."

Similar shots of Jerry Hall and Gaynor Faye had been used in the past, but TfL did not object - though they did object to another poster for one of David Pugh's plays - Equus. David says he'll be reconsidering where he advertises in future.
