Keeley RebeccaHazell was born on September 18, 1986, in Lewisham, a suburb southeast ofLondon, England. Raised in another nearby London suburb, Bromley, Keeleyattended Bromley’s Ravensbourne School. When Keeley was 16, she left school tobecome an apprentice hairdresser, but she was already looking beyond beautyparlors and nursing ambitions to become a model.
Keeleywanted to be a Page 3 girl and pose topless on the inside pages of Britishtabloids like The Daily Star and The Sun. Keeley’s former artteacher tried to discourage her, saying that her breasts were too small; in anyevent, Page 3 girls had to be at least 18. Keeley Hazell was anything butdiscouraged -- her bust, as time would soon tell, was definitely growing. Withthe support of her hairdressing colleagues, she had some pictures taken ofherself and entered The Daily Star’s “Search for a Beach Babe” contest,which she won.
