Overview
- Brook arrived via helicopter for the series launch and shouted, “Ant and Dec, I’m coming for you,” drawing a light “Come on, Kelly” from the hosts before filming moved on.
- The limited on-air interaction prompted a flurry of social posts highlighting past friction between the model and the presenting duo.
- Piers Morgan weighed in by resurfacing Brook’s short-lived BGT role and the rehearsal anecdote referenced in Dec Donnelly’s 2010 memoir.
- Brook has previously said ITV told her she had upset Ant and Dec and claimed the pair did not want her on BGT, which she says damaged her UK TV prospects.
- Producers originally said the four-judge BGT format was too complex when Brook’s stint ended after about a week, even as the show later reverted to four judges.
