Keeley Hazell signs with same Hollywood agents who guided Meghan Markle
FORMER Page 3 star turned actress Keeley Hazell has signed with the same Hollywood agents who guided the career of Meghan Markle.
The Brit has secured a deal to be represented by the Gersh Agency for representation in all areas of her career from acting to modelling.
And the buxom Bromley-born bombshell will now have The Duchess of Sussex’s former agent and close confidante Nick Collins masterminding her career.
Collins is a partner at leading Tinseltown deal makers Gersh, having aided Meghan during her TV career in legal drama Suits, as well as the Megxit drama.
Hazell, 35, is currently riding high in Los Angeles for her work in Apple TV’s mega-hit Ted Lasso.
A source said: “Keeley struck the deal with Gersh the last few weeks as the second series of Ted Lasso ended.”
Plans for the third series to start filming in West London are set for January 2022.
Hazell stars in the recurring role of Bex, the new girlfriend of Rupert, played by Anthony Head.
Hazell began her career as a model, working with The Sun as well as magazines such as FHM, Loaded, Nuts and Zoo Weekly, before transitioning to writing and acting.

In spring 2021 Meghan split advisor and ‘dream team’ confidante Nick Collins.
However, insiders say that Collins, her longtime talent representative, has remained a “key advisor” for the ex-actress, who secured a £100million deal with Netflix.
She kept him on even though she vowed to quit show business when getting engaged to Prince Harry in 2017.
Insiders say Collins was also a “key advisor and independent voice” for the Sussexes as they plotted Megxit and focused on money making plans in the US.
Collins also was one of a handful of American guests at Markle and Prince Harry's May 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle.
In recent months Meghan has built her own media, charity and production teams to support non-profit Archewell, and her business deals with giants like Netflix and Spotify.
