Kate Groombridge (born 8 July 1980) is an English fashion model and actress.
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 14. She posed for teen magazines until she was 19.
In 1999, she signed as an 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 Groombridge's contract, and she became the face of Gossard's entire product line.
She has appeared as a cover girl in several magazines, including Esquire , [2] Maxim and FHM , and she appears regularly in FHM's annual "100 sexiest women" poll.
Groombridge 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. She has two further films in the can, Coffee Sex You and Shifty .
She has two sons, Gilbert and Percy. She largely retired from acting and modelling to focus on raising them but returned to modelling in 2022 for an advertising campaign by Boots_(company) featuring mature models.

The Wonderbra is a type of push-up underwire brassiere that gained worldwide prominence in the 1990s. Although the Wonderbra name was first trademarked in the U.S. in 1955, the brand was developed in Canada. Moses (Moe) Nadler, founder and majority owner of the Canadian Lady Corset Company, licensed the trademark for the Canadian market in 1939. By the 1960s the Canadian Lady brand had become known in Canada as "Wonderbra, the company." In 1961 the company introduced the Model 1300 plunge push-up bra. This bra became one of the best-selling Canadian styles and is virtually identical to today's Wonderbra.
