Kelly Brook has made a shock confession ahead of her I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! debut – she’s never been camping in her life.

The former model and radio presenter, 45, is set to enter the Australian jungle on Sunday with this year’s brand new crop of celebrities.

But sleeping in the great outdoors is going to be a massive challenge for her.

I’m A Celebrity: Kelly Brook’s camping confession

In a new video posted to I’m A Celebrity’s official Instagram account, Kelly admits: “I’ve never camped. I’ve never slept outside.

“That’s wild. It’s just not something that’s ever appealed to me to be honest.”

Kelly is one of 10 new campmates entering the I’m A Celebrity jungle this weekend. But although she has never slept outside before, the star is under no illusion about what she might encounter.

Kelly added: “I have been Googling the health benefits of eating worms, kangaroo, sheep’s testicles. Apparently they’re full of collagen. So I’m seeing this really as a beauty retreat.”

You keep thinking that, Kel!

The 2025 line-up

This year’s line-up is a good one. Kelly joins American comedy queen Ruby Wax, ’80s pop star Martin Kemp, and Jack Osbourne, the son of the late rocker Ozzy, in the jungle.

Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley is going in, along with former EastEnders star Shona McGarty and ex Lioness Alex Scott. Comedian Eddie Kadi, social media star Angry Ginge and rapper Aitch make up the cast.

But who will be doing the cooking? Kelly is fearful about being hungry in the jungle, so perhaps she will step up to the plate?

Speaking about her husband, Jeremy Parisi, she says: “I married an Italian man. I haven’t been hungry for 10 years. I don’t actually know how I’m going to be with the hunger because my body is used to regular meals.

“I’ll be looking at that kangaroo bum like, ‘Come to me!’.”

Earlier this week, Kelly admitted this will be the longest time she has ever been away from Jeremy, 40. Last year, the pair competed in Celebrity Race Across the World on BBC One together and she said he was the “driving force” behind their success.

Kelly added: “I will have to do this on my own two feet. It’s the longest we will have been apart, but we are seeing it as a hiatus from married life!”

What time is I’m A Celebrity on?
