Kelly Brook is gearing up to brave the I’m a Celeb jungle once again, but here’s a curveball — she’s not exactly on the best terms with hosts Ant and Dec, thanks to an awkward brush with fame years ago. Funny how the cosmos align, huh? As Mercury dances retrograde, stirring up communication snafus, you can’t help but wonder if this jungle reboot is destined to echo past clashes. You see, Kelly’s run-in with the dynamic duo wasn’t your typical meet-and-greet; it unfolded on the glitzy stage of Britain’s Got Talent, where she was a judge for a grand total of… a couple of days. Talk about a cosmic misfire! Ant and Dec’s roadside commentary and Kelly’s abrupt exit make you question — is it all about egos, star signs, or just the unlucky math of having four judges? Grappling with group dynamics under the gaze of a Scorpio moon might not have been her brightest moment, but hey, the jungle has a way of shaking things up. Ready to unpack this celestial soap opera?

Kelly Brook is set to head out into the I’m a Celeb jungle for the latest season, but many years ago had a falling out with the show’s hosts.
The latest season will see another batch of celebrities heading off into the camp to try their luck with the series of challenges.
Hosts Ant and Dec have been a part of the show since the very beginning, and this will not be the first they have crossed paths with Kelly.
The pair also host another hit British reality show, the performance-based Britain’s Got Talent, with the pair presenting the show and giving some cheeky ‘backstage’ commentary while the judges dish out their verdicts on the contestants.
And Kelly’s previous encounter with Ant and Dec is connected to this very format.

That’s because back in 2009 Kelly was very briefly appointed as a judge on the hit show.
However she left Britain’s Got Talent after only a couple of days.
Simon Cowell explained that she had left because the format of having four judges was not working as well.
This might make sense, as judges can buzz someone through so having an even number might mean there’s a tie.
However Kelly has revealed that someone told her that the show’s presenteres Ant and Dec had played a part in her brief stint on the program.
The Sun previously reported that after losing her job on Britain’s Got Talent, Kelly said: “The people at ITV were telling me that I had upset Ant and Dec and that was it.
“I would love to have stayed on the show. I really felt it was working out. Ant and Dec had never been anything but pleasant to my face, but clearly, they didn’t want me on the show.”

She added: “Their egos are such that they were saying to themselves: ‘How dare she think she can come on to our show?’, and since then they’ve been very vocal about their displeasure at me being there.”
Dec has previously addressed Kelly’s brief stint on the show in his memoir Ooh! What a Lovely Pair: Our Story.
Recalling her first day, he wrote: “Kelly looked nervous, so I told her it was going to be great fun and to just relax and enjoy it.
“She nodded, then looked at me and said, ‘And what do you do on the show?’
“I looked at Simon, who was sitting next to me. He turned to Kelly and said, ‘Kelly, you have seen the show, haven’t you?’ To which she replied, ‘Yeah… well, bits’.”
He added: “I don’t want to sound like an egomaniac, but the last person who said, ‘And what do you do?’ was the Queen when I met her at the party for ITV’s fiftieth anniversary.”
Ant and Dec went on to say that they had been told that ‘it wasn’t anything personal with Kelly; it was just the four judges didn’t work.’
