Piers Morgan Reignites Kelly BrookAnt and Dec Feud as I’m a Celebrity Launches

Piers Morgan’s throwback post revives claims of Ant and Dec displeasure that hastened Kelly Brook’s 2009 BGT exit.

Overview

  • Morgan posted a 2009 backstage photo on Instagram and called Brook’s brief Britain’s Got Talent stint “two disastrous days.”
  • He wrote that Ant and Dec were unhappy they were not consulted about Brook’s sudden hiring and were further irked when she asked what they did on the show.
  • Morgan asserted that the hosts’ reaction partly contributed to Brook being dropped after a short period on the judging panel.
  • The Independent highlighted Dec Donnelly’s 2010 memoir recounting Brook asking about their role and his irritation over the decision to add a fourth judge.
  • Viewers noted what appeared to be on-air awkwardness as Ant and Dec did not acknowledge Brook during I’m a Celebrity’s launch episode.
