I’m A Celebrity star Kelly Brook’s husband has slammed online trolls who abused his wife over her appearance as he made a ‘hard’ admission.
Model and Loose Women panellist Kelly is one of 12 stars currently competing in the 2025 edition of the annual Ant and Dec ITV reality show. Kelly is joined in the jungle by the likes of rapper Aitch, Emmerdale star Lisa Riley and streamer Angry Ginge.
Kelly has been one of the most featured campmates on the series to date, having taken part in the Camp Fright bushtucker trial with Aitch and Ginge. During the trial where Irish presenter Vogue Williams and Celebs Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson were revealed as the final two campmates, Kelly had to untie a slew of knots whilst her head was trapped in a box full of critters.
Away from the spotlight, Kelly has been married to her husband Jeremy Parisi since 2022, with the pair beginning to see each other in 2015. Fans got an insight into their relationship last year when they took part in the second season of the Race Across the World.
Prior to going into the jungle Kelly was the subject of vicious comments about her figure. Now Jeremy has said it was ‘hard’ for women such as Kelly to be under the microscope when it came to their bodies.
He said: “I’m so happy to see Kelly being so confident and happy in her own skin, it’s hard for women in the public eye to be put under such scrutiny but she is a positive role model for so many women which is something she should be proud of.”

After touching down at Brisbane Airport last week as she prepared to join I’m A Celebrity, Kelly pleaded with viewers to accept her curves after being targeted with hate on social media.
She said: “Obviously, I am not a 20-year-old bikini model anymore. You know, life changes and your body changes. And I just hope people are accepting of me and how I look now, and not comparing me to how I used to look.”
Speaking before she entered camp, Kelly said that she felt confident about her body, saying that she had ‘embraced’ her curves.
“I feel really confident. I feel like my body is in good shape. I just feel great. I am 46, I embrace my curves. I embrace my body. I ran a marathon this year….so I am proud of that,” she stated.
Earlier in the week, Kelly became the first celebrity on the programme to take a dip in the jungle shower, which came to an abrupt end after she spotted leaches in the water. Calling his wife ‘gorgeous’ Jeremy said he was upset at missing Kelly’s birthday.
He explained: “This Sunday will be a hard one as it’s Kelly’s birthday and the first time we’ve not spent it together in 10 years. I’m flying out on Monday which will make it easier and we will make sure to do belated celebrations when we are reunited.”
Another emotional moment for Jeremy this week was when he saw Kelly break down in tears in the Bush Telegraph after she received a picture of him and Teddy, their dog. Despite turning 47 in camp, Kelly did have a small party before flying out with her Heart Radio colleagues.
