PROMISE BROKEN! When MONEY Talks, Kelly Brook Agrees to Join the Show She Vowed to AVOID!

In a shocking twist, Kelly Brook, the glamorous Heart FM presenter and model, is reportedly packing her bags for Australia to join the star-studded lineup of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! next month. The 45-year-old, who once swore she’d rather sling drinks at her local pub than face the jungle’s gruesome challenges, seems to have had a change of heart—possibly lured by a hefty paycheck.

Back in 2018, Kelly didn’t mince words about her disdain for the ITV reality show. “I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there,” she declared on her Heart radio show. She even went as far as saying that even a massive tax bill wouldn’t convince her to join, bluntly adding, “It’s kind of like the beginning of the end in my opinion!” Yet, it seems the jungle’s siren call—or perhaps a lucrative deal—has finally won her over.

Sources close to the production told The Sun that Kelly, a familiar face on ITV thanks to her appearances on Loose Women, is set to bring her wit and charm to the jungle. “She’s glamorous, witty, and a familiar face to ITV audiences,” the insider revealed. “She’s guaranteed to make perfect TV viewing.” Fans are already buzzing with excitement at the prospect of Kelly taking on the iconic jungle waterfall shower, a moment sure to become a highlight of the 2025 season.

Joining Kelly in the Australian outback will be an eclectic mix of celebrities, including UK rapper Aitch, TikTok sensation Angry Ginge, and LBC presenter Nick Ferrari. While ITV has remained tight-lipped, stating, “Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! are just speculation,” the rumor mill is in overdrive, with Kelly’s potential participation stealing the spotlight.

This isn’t Kelly’s first foray into reality TV. Last year, she and her husband, Italian model Jeremy Parisi, traded glitz for grit in BBC’s Celebrity Race Across the World. The couple’s adventurous spirit and undeniable chemistry captivated viewers, offering a glimpse into their tight-knit relationship. Kelly, who met Jeremy in 2014 after sliding into his Instagram DMs, married him in 2022 after an eight-year romance. Over the years, she’s been linked to high-profile names like Jason Statham, Billy Zane, Danny Cipriani, and Thom Evans, but it’s her bond with Jeremy that has truly stood the test of time.

However, Kelly’s devotion to her marriage recently sparked headlines when she opened up on Loose Women about her “co-dependent” relationship with Jeremy. “I definitely wanna be with him all the time,” she confessed, revealing that the couple meticulously coordinates their schedules to ensure they’re rarely apart. From sharing dinner every night to Jeremy checking her diary to align their plans, Kelly proudly declared, “My marriage is number one.” When asked if she’d skip a job that required her to be away from Jeremy, she doubled down: “Yeah, he would either come with me or I just wouldn’t go.”

Her candid comments left fellow panelist Mariella Frostrup reeling, jokingly admitting she felt “suffocated” just hearing about it. Jeremy himself has playfully described their dynamic as intense, but for Kelly, it’s a sacred partnership that takes precedence over everything—even, it seems, her long-standing aversion to the jungle.

So, what changed her mind about I’m A Celebrity? Rumor has it that ITV bosses, who have reportedly been chasing Kelly for years, finally dangled an offer too tempting to refuse. While her representatives have yet to comment, the prospect of seeing Kelly tackle creepy crawlies and jungle challenges has fans eagerly awaiting confirmation of the 2025 lineup.
