An old controversy involving Kelly Brook and the hosts of “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” Ant and Dec has reemerged as the latest season premiered. Brook, a model and radio DJ, is among the ten contestants on the show. Following her dramatic entry into the competition on November 16, viewers quickly recalled her previous contentious experience with the duo during her brief stint on “Britain’s Got Talent.”
Background on the Feud
Kelly Brook was engaged as a judge on “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2009. However, her time on the show was short-lived as she was removed just one week later. While the official reason stated that introducing a fourth judge complicated the dynamics, Brook hinted that her departure stemmed from upsetting Ant and Dec by questioning their roles.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly had previously voiced their discontent regarding Brook’s appointment. In their memoir “Ooh! What a Lovely Pair,” they reflected on her awkward first day. Donnelly recounted a moment when Brook asked them about their roles on the show, leading to an uncomfortable exchange. He wrote, “I don’t want to sound like an egomaniac, but the last person who said, ‘And what do you do?’ was the Queen.”
