Kelly Brook admits she's taking a 'hiatus from married life' with husband Jeremy to appear on I'm A Celebrity
They've been married since 2022
Kelly Brook has shared how her time in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle will mark the longest period she’s ever been apart from her hunky husband.
Last night (November 10), Kelly was confirmed to be joining the cast of the 2025 show. The official announcement came hours after she touched down in Oz to ‘visit her Auntie Sheila’.
Now, Kelly has shared how she didn’t have long to prepare for the show as she signed up for I’m A Celebrity… right at the last minute…
Kelly Brook nervous with husband Jeremy’s support
Speaking to ITV, Kelly said that she said yes to I’m A Celebrity… after doing Celebrity Race Across The World with Jeremy last year.
Kelly, 45, tied the knot with model Jeremy Parisi back in the summer of 2022, and admits that he pretty much led the way on Celebrity Race Across The World. Sadly, however, he won’t be by her side in the jungle. And she’s explained that, while she may struggle, they’re viewing her time Down Under as a “hiatus” from married life.
“I have said I will never do I’m A Celebrity… several times. I didn’t think it was ever in me to do the challenges and Bushtucker Trials. But since I have been with my husband, we have done a few things that I’ve surprised myself by. We did Race Across the World and I ran the London marathon this year – two things I never thought I had in me.
“On Race Across the World, I had Jeremy who was really the driving force behind it. He kept me going and not having his support is going to be difficult. 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!” she quipped.
‘I think someone dropped out and they called me’
Kelly will also be taking time out from her Heart FM drive-time show. Speaking to co-host Jason King, Kelly revealed: “I’m a massive fan of the show, I just thought you know what, it’s now or never. So I’m going in. I’m doing it!”
Kelly then added that she hasn’t had much time to think about the practicalities of the show… for example the bugs and heights.
“I haven’t really, I didn’t have a lot of time! I think someone dropped out and they called me [laughs]. Honestly J, this has been so last minute,” she shared.
“By the way, they’ve never even asked me to ever do it,” she added. “So I’m one of those: ‘I’d never do it.’ Well they never asked me! The minute they asked me I went: ‘Yep! I’ll do it, I’ll do it!'”
Revealing why she signed up, she added: “I just want an adventure. I just think it will be a really fun thing to do if we have a really good group of people in there. So I’m just going to go for it and I just really want your support and I just want you to vote for me!”
