Kelly Brook’s jungle adventure is under way with the model and actress already proving a hit with I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! viewers and her fellow campmates on the popular ITV show.

The 45-year-old radio presenter is one of the famous faces taking part in the latest series of the programme and ITV bosses will be hoping she will spill some juicy details about her career and private life. Brook has had a series of high-profile partners, having previously been engaged to actor Jason Statham and dated England rugby player Danny Ciprani.

However, she was also engaged to another rugby star – former Scotland international Thom Evans – who she was in a relationship with for two years between 2011 and 2013. But the pair went through a horrific ordeal not long into their relationship when the actress suffered a miscarriage, which she admitted years later that the couple never recovered from.

Brook, who was 31 at the time of the loss, appeared on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast to discuss how the experience affected her relationship with Evans, who was then 25.

She said: “In my thirties, I got pregnant and it was with somebody that I hadn’t been with for very long, and it was really a case of like, ‘Well, I’m in my thirties. This might be my last roll of the dice. Maybe I should just do this.’

“He’s a nice guy, maybe this is it. Maybe it’s that whole taxi light thing goes off and this is what we’re going to do.”

She added: “Lo and behold I had a miscarriage at six months, which was the most traumatic, horrific thing that I’ve ever been through. It was just the most devastating thing.

“It took me quite a long time for my body and for everything to kind of, I don’t think you ever fully recover from that, but our relationship didn’t survive that and I just had to pick myself back up and just move forward.”

Both Brook and Evans have moved on, with the I’m A Celeb star now married to fellow model Jeremy Parisi, who will be cheering her on from home as she takes on all the jungle has to offer.

Meanwhile, Evans is now engaged to Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, with the pair meeting on Celebrity X Factor in 2019. The singer, who was with Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton for seven years before they split in 2015, said yes to the former Scotland star when he popped the question in 2023.

However, the pair are yet to walk down the aisle as Scherzinger praised her partner’s patience with her hectic lifestyle.

She said: “Yes, we will get married. We’re engaged to be married when I’m not working. Thank God he is so patient.”

Evans retired from rugby prematurely in 2010 after a neck injury against Wales in the Six Nations brought his time on the pitch to a sad end. The Scottish athlete admitted in an interview with Men’s Health last year that he struggled heavily with his sudden exit from the sport.

Evans said: “I sustained a double fracture-dislocation to the C5 and C7 regions of my spine in 2010. I was playing for Scotland against Wales in the Six Nations and I was really fortunate because an injury of that magnitude, suffered on such a big stage, meant I had the very best personnel there to deal with it.”

He added: “At the time, I was just so grateful not to be in a wheelchair. But a year or so after the injury, it really hit me that I was never going to play the game again – a game that I so dearly loved, and a game I’d worked my whole life for. I did struggle for a long time.

“I was only 24 at the time of my injury and I’d just broken into the Scotland national team. I think I would have comfortably had that jersey for at least another 10 years.

“I just tried my best to remain focused on how incredibly lucky I was to even be walking and moving in a ‘normal’ capacity. That’s what helped me through the dark times.”
