Kelly Brook And Ant And Dec's Rumoured Feud: What Actually Went On?

I'm A Celebrity stars Kelly Brook (left) and Ant and Dec (right)An alleged beef between I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! contestant Kelly Brook and presenters Ant and Dec has resurfaced since she arrived Down Under earlier this month.The actor, model and radio DJ is currently in the jungle as one of the 12 campmates taking part in this year’s season of I’m A Celebrity, which is once again being hosted by Ant and Dec.However, many critics pointed out in the lead-up to the new series that it was unlikely to be a warm reunion between Kelly and the duo, due to their shared history.Although neither party has mentioned the rumoured feud, here’s what is thought to have gone down between them…What went on between I’m A Celebrity star Kelly Brook and Ant and Dec that led to their rumoured feud?The supposed tension between Kelly and the presenting duo dates back to 2009, when she was announced as a new judge on Britain’s Got Talent, which they also host.Kelly was eventually dropped from BGT after just two days of filming, with an official explanation at the time stating that adding a fourth judge made things too complicated (the reality competition would eventually shift to a four-person judging panel permanently when David Walliams and Alesha Dixon joined in 2012).Kelly Brook was briefly a Britain's Got Talent judge in 2009Since then, it’s emerged that Kelly didn’t exactly get off to the best start with Ant and Dec behind the scenes, with both sides having rather different versions of events.What have Ant and Dec said about Kelly Brook in the past?Sharing his side of the story in his and Ant’s 2010 memoir Ooh! What a Lovely Pair, Dec recalled that on the first day of shooting, Kelly “looked nervous”, so he tried to assure her “it was going to be great fun” and “to just relax”.He wrote: “She nodded, then looked at me and said, ‘And what do you do on the show?’.“I looked at Simon [Cowell], who was sitting next to me. He turned to Kelly and said, ‘Kelly, you have seen the show, haven’t you?’ To which she replied, ‘Yeah... well, bits’.”Dec continued: “I don’t want to sound like an egomaniac, but the last person who said, ‘And what do you do?’ was the Queen when I met her at the party for ITV’s 50th anniversary.”He went on to say that, behind the scenes, he and Ant “had two questions”: “Why is there a fourth judge? And why is it Kelly Brook?”“None of them could answer us,” Dec claimed. “Obviously, as hosts of the show, we have to justify that kind of thing to the audience, and no one could give us a good reason why Kelly was on board.”What has Kelly Brook said in the past about Ant and Dec?Kelly Brook with her I'm A Celebrity campmatesAccording to quotes published in The Sun, Kelly has suggested that Ant and Dec were responsible for her being axed from BGT, despite “never being anything but pleasant” to her face.The Heart broadcaster claimed: “Clearly, they didn’t want me on the show. Their egos are such that they were saying to themselves: ‘How dare she think she can come on to our show?’ and since then they’ve been very vocal about their displeasure at me being there.”Has anyone else spoken about Ant and Dec’s supposed beef with Kelly Brook?Controversial broadcaster Piers Morgan has weighed in, having been a judge on BGT during Kelly’s short-lived stint.Posting a photo of Kelly and the BGT team on Instagram, he wrote: “As Kelly Brook goes into the I’m A Celebrity jungle, a throwback to when she very briefly appeared as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent… for just two disastrous days!“[It’ll] be interesting to see how she interacts with Ant and Dec given she still blames them for being fired so fast and ruthlessly… which isn’t far from the truth.”View this post on InstagramPiers alleged: “They weren’t happy they hadn’t been consulted by Simon Cowell about Kelly’s sudden hiring – and even less happy when she asked them what they did on the show.”Wait, didn’t Kelly Brook have something to say I’m A Celebrity years before she was cast on the series, too?Why yes, she did.Back in 2018, Kelly told her Heart listeners that there were a “million” things she’d rather do than sign up for the jungle.“I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there,” she insisted.“Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it,” Kelly added. “It’s kind of like the beginning of the end in my opinion.”She later opened up about the u-turn she’d made during an appearance on Elizabeth Day’s podcast How To Fail.I’m A Celebrity continues on Sunday night at 9pm on ITV1.MORE I'M A CELEBRITY:I'm A Celebrity Makes Major Change With Intriguing New Bushtucker Trial RuleAlex Scott Opens Up About Her Future With Jess Glynne On I'm A CelebrityHere Are The I'm A Celebrity Contestants Tipped To Be Returning For The Next All Stars Series
