Kate Groombridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kate Groombridge (born February 9, 1980) is an English fashion model.

Born in a small village in Kent, she was advised to submit photos to modelling agencies by a family friend, and she was modelling professionally when she was just 14. She posed for teen magazines until she was 19.

In 1999 she signed on as a soi-disant ambassador with the lingerie company Gossard for their new "Ultrabra Superboost". The bra proved popular and was advertised extensively, and even proved controversial when the advertising campaign was considered too racy for British television. This success led Gossard to extend Kate's contract, and she became the face of Gossard's entire product line.

She has appeared as a cover girl in several magazines, including Maxim and FHM, and she appears regularly in FHM's annual "100 sexiest women" poll.

Kate had a small part in the 2005 Steven Seagal film Submerged, and in September 2007 she had a larger role in the romantic comedy film Virgin Territory, playing the character Elissa.
