Ant McPartlin Denies Rift With Kelly Brook After On-Air Exchange on I'm A Celebrity Unpacked

Dec Donnelly pressed his co-host after a 'rancid' cooking remark that coverage linked to camp cooks Kelly Brook and Martin Kemp.

Overview

  • During the Unpacked aftershow, Dec asked Ant, “What’s your problem with Kelly Brook?”, and Ant replied, “I don’t have a problem with Kelly Brook.”
  • Ant had criticised this year’s camp meals, saying, “Every dinner they’ve made I’ve thought ‘That looks rancid’,” while arguing the ingredients were fine but cooked badly.
  • Host Kemi Rogers pointed out that Kelly Brook and Martin Kemp were serving as camp cooks, which set up Dec’s pointed on-air question.
  • Media framed the moment through the long-reported tension dating to Brook’s brief 2009 Britain’s Got Talent stint and Dec’s 2010 memoir recounting awkward exchanges and frustration over her hiring.
  • Separately, Ant recoiled on an Instagram Live ‘Jungle Club’ stream when a spider landed on him, a clip that drew fresh tabloid attention.
