Security had to wade in when an eccentric French millionaire, known only as Frederic, stormed a photocall session [at the Cannes Film Festival] and threw himself at her, proffering a cheque for €1million in return for "one night with Kelly."

Looking bemused, the model, 32, initially thought the offer was a stunt organised by comedian Keith Lemon, whose film she was helping promote.

However, when the thirtysomething stranger began trying to grab her, screeching "Just one night! Please, one night! I have money...!" she realised their was a big problem and frantically sought help. A bodyguard sprinted to the star, hauled the weirdo away from Kelly and ejected him from the plush Majestic Barriere hotel.
