Ant McPartlin Denies Rift With Kelly Brook After Cooking Jibe on I’m A Celebrity Unpacked

The on-air exchange revived interest in Kelly Brook’s short-lived 2009 Britain’s Got Talent judging role.

Overview

  • During the Unpacked aftershow, McPartlin said recent camp meals 'looked rancid,' a remark highlighted because Kelly Brook and Martin Kemp have been cooking in camp.
  • Declan Donnelly then asked, 'What’s your problem with Kelly Brook?', prompting McPartlin to reply, 'I don’t have a problem with Kelly Brook.'
  • Coverage links the moment to Brook’s week-long stint as a fourth Britain’s Got Talent judge in 2009 and her past claim she was pushed out.
  • Reports also cite Donnelly’s 2010 memoir describing an awkward introduction with Brook and the duo’s frustration at not being consulted about her hiring.
  • In a separate light-hearted clip, McPartlin screamed and bolted after a spider landed on him during the hosts’ Jungle Club Instagram Live.
