Keeley Rebecca Hazell was born on September 18, 1986, in Lewisham, a suburb southeast of London, England. Raised in another nearby London suburb, Bromley, Keeley attended Bromley’s Ravensbourne School. When Keeley was 16, she left school to become an apprentice hairdresser, but she was already looking beyond beauty parlors and nursing ambitions to become a model.
Keeley wanted to be a Page 3 girl and pose topless on the inside pages of British tabloids like The Daily Star and The Sun. Keeley’s former art teacher tried to discourage her, saying that her breasts were too small; in any event, Page 3 girls had to be at least 18. But Keeley was anything but discouraged -- her bust, as time would soon tell, was definitely growing. With the support of her hairdressing colleagues, she had some pictures taken of herself and entered The Daily Star’s “Search for a Beach Babe” contest, which she won.
