As the TV star takes on a new challenge on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, we’re reminded of her acting career highlights in this film many forgot even existed, and according to viewers, there’s good reason to.
In 2012, the model starred in the British comedy Keith Lemon: The Film, which has been dubbed as both ‘unfunny’ and ‘horrible’ by online reviews. The movie sees Brooks play herself as a love interest of the TV personality Keith Lemon, played by Leigh Francis.
Following on from the success of Celebrity Juice, the popular television panel show, they took things up a notch and gave Keith Lemon an entire movie to run wild. The themes of the film are explicit, jam-packed with sexual innuendos and adult comedy that see the likes of numerous celebrities make unpredictable cameos.

Alongside Brook, Keith Lemon: The Film sees appearances from David Hasselhoff, Gary Barlow, Peter Andre, Emma Bunton and even Jedward. Playing leading roles, however, are Verne Troyer, playing Lemon, his guardian angel, and Laura Aikman as Rosie, Keith’s girlfriend.
An unimpressed Rotten Tomatoes review reads: “To be honest, it was the worst film ever. Keith Lemon is ok for TV but not for the big screen. Kelly Brook was D-list. It’s not funny at all. Holly and Fearne should have a bigger part. Overall, rubbish.”
Meanwhile another says: “To say this film is bad would be an understatement. The “jokes” are that bad and immature they make you feel uncomfortable, and the story looks like it came out of a child’s English class. All in all, Keith Lemon is a terrible film.”
The comedy follows Keith after a major business failure in London and his pregnant girlfriend’s disappointment in him. Soon enough, he creates a successful phone invention that lands him millions, allowing him to live out his dreams.

He moves to Hollywood and lives it large. As his new celebrity lifestyle takes hold, he begins to date none other than beautiful model Kelly Brook. In the meantime, he owes money to Evil Steve, who in turn kidnaps Rosie, and Keith is faced with the mission of rescuing her.
Although, not everyone is in agreement. Some fans of Celebrity Juice had a great time watching the 2012 movie. One wrote: “Never seen Celebrity Juice before, but thought this film was freaking hilarious!”
One other person added: “A great and funny comedy full of just what you would get from letting yourself into the world of Keith Lemon and his crazy life. Some people think the film is crap, but if you watch it and like Keith Lemon, then you will love the film, and it is well worth the money.”
Keith Lemon: The Film, starring Kelly Brook, is available to stream now on Amazon Prime. Or, for those dying to see what all the controversy is about, it can be rented on Apple TV.
