A playful question on the set of “I’m a Celebrity… Unpacked” unexpectedly cracked open a sixteen-year-old mystery. Host Dec Donnelly, with a mischievous glint in his eye, turned to his longtime co-star Ant McPartlin and bluntly asked, “What’s your problem with Kelly Brook?”
The studio immediately exploded with laughter, a sound that echoed years of hushed speculation. Ant, momentarily caught off guard, quickly retorted, “Don’t you start!” before firmly stating, “I don’t have a problem with Kelly Brook, thank you!” The exchange, seemingly lighthearted, instantly ignited a firestorm online.
The moment brought back memories of Kelly Brook’s brief and controversial stint as a judge on “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2009. After just two days on the panel, she was abruptly removed, a decision that fueled rumors of backstage tension and a perceived slight from the show’s hosts.
The core of the speculation centered around a reported question Brook posed to Ant and Dec – a query about their actual roles on the show. Some claimed the duo found the question disrespectful, and that it contributed to Simon Cowell’s decision to remove her from the judging panel.
For over a decade, neither Brook nor Ant and Dec publicly addressed the rumors, allowing the story to simmer in the public consciousness. The silence only amplified the intrigue, turning a fleeting moment into a lasting narrative.
Brook’s recent arrival in the jungle as a contestant on “I’m a Celebrity” immediately resurrected the old story. Viewers flooded social media with reactions to the “Unpacked” exchange, debating whether it was a genuine attempt to address the past or simply a clever tease.
While Brook has remained focused on the challenges of jungle life, sources close to her suggest she hasn’t forgotten the perceived slight. Described as a “tough” and “down-to-earth” woman, she reportedly believes Ant and Dec once dismissed her talent due to her background.
The question now lingers: will Kelly Brook ever fully reveal her side of the story? For now, the mystery continues, adding another layer of fascination to her journey on “I’m a Celebrity.”
The incident comes amidst other challenges for Brook in the camp, including accusations of bullying from Jack Osbourne’s sister, adding further complexity to her experience.
