I’m A Celebrity contestant Kelly Brook has lifted the lid on her awkward run-in with a huge American superstar – revealing she was completely ignored during a live interview.

The 45-year-old model and presenter, who joins this year’s jungle line-up alongside Ruby Wax, Lisa Riley and social media star Angry Ginge, recalled the uncomfortable moment while speaking about her experiences on air. Kelly, who has co-hosted Heart Radio’s drivetime show with Jason “JK” King since 2019, admitted one celebrity encounter still stands out for all the wrong reasons. “I do have one. Mine was Lizzo,” she revealed.

“I thought she would be a bit more for the women but she didn’t take her glasses off and she didn’t look at me once. She just spoke to JK. For me someone like Lizzo is a strong woman and I just thought she would be a bit warmer towards me. But it was like I didn’t even exist.

“It was weird. It was weird. Most people we love. It’s very rare we get one that’s like that. That was unusual,” she continued to The Sun. The former Strictly Come Dancing star said she had expected more warmth from the Grammy-winning singer – but was left stunned by the cold reception.

Kelly’s comments come just as she prepares to swap the radio studio for the Australian jungle, where she’ll face the ultimate challenge on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Before flying out, Kelly was spotted at Heathrow Airport with husband Jeremy Parisi as she prepared to say goodbye to home comforts – and her beloved dog, Teddy.

She admitted:”I am going to miss my dog Teddy and my husband Jeremy.” According to insiders, Kelly went above and beyond to make sure her pampered pooch was well cared for during her time away.

A source told The Sun: “Kelly is besotted with Teddy and he is used to fine dining, so Kelly spent all hours making sure the freezer was piled high with his special dinners.”

They added: “There’s everything from poached salmon with cavolo nero cabbage through to venison steak with Chantenay carrots. She didn’t have much time to get everything sorted among all her work commitments but catering for Teddy was the priority.”

Reports also claim Kelly even labelled Teddy’s meals to stop her husband from accidentally eating them.

Kelly, who married Italian model in 2022, is said to have finally been convinced to enter the jungle after years of saying she’d never do it.

Back in 2018, she told The Sun: “I hate confined spaces. I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles. Even if I had a huge tax bill I had to pay it urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.” Now, seven years later, Kelly has had a change of heart – and fans are eager to see how the glamorous TV personality copes with bugs, bushtucker trials and jungle life.

The eldest Beckham child and his wife Nicola Peltz have been feuding with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, for months, leading the pair to snub his father’s knighthood

View 5 Images

Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham and his wife, Nicola, are reportedly willing to end their feud with his parents, David and Victoria, if they agree to do one thing.

The couple seem to have been feuding with his parents for months, as they have repeatedly refused to acknowledge several milestones, including David’s 50th birthday and his knighthood ceremony. Despite several attempts to reach out, David and Victoria were thought to have been completely cut out their son’s life.

The feud is thought to have started after a rumoured spat between Nicola and Victoria. There are conflicting tales of what happened, but many suspected the pair fell out after Nicola chose to wear Valentino for her wedding instead of dress designed by her mother-in-law’s label. Others have suggested it was Victoria who backed out of designing the dress.

Talking to the Mail, an insider said there had “been a war” since the wedding, adding: “It’s always been a tug of war about Brooklyn, and Victoria has not wanted to let go.” Though the family remained united after the wedding, tensions were thought to have continued to ramp up, ultimately leading to a breaking down of relations.

An insider has now said that if David and Victoria were to make a public apology, that might mend the rift. The source said: “There is an obvious first step which would be a public acknowledgement [by David and Victoria] of what they did, and an apology. It cannot be a performative thing. There is no realistic chance of a reconciliation without that happening first.”

They added that they felt the feud was caused by David and Victoria, who were said to have “thought they could heap abuse on Nicola” with no backlash from her or her husband.

Publicly, neither David nor Victoria have addressed the feud, but that hasn’t stopped fans from jumping to their defence. When Brooklyn broke his silence after snubbing his father’s knighthood ceremony by posting a video of himself making a smash burger, the chef was met with many comments asking him to support his dad more.

One person wrote: “No one cares mate, are you going to say well done to your dad?” Another commented,”“Why don’t you come to support your dad?”

However, Brooklyn’s fans also hopped in the comments to defend him. One wrote, “Let this man live. You know nothing about his family.” Another echoed the sentiment, writing, “Folks, he’s making a smash burger and trying to find joy through sharing his cooking. He’s not asking your advice and you’re not a family guidance counsellor.”

A third person wrote, “Keep being you. No one knows what happens in families and the trolls are projecting all their fantasies of your family onto you, making everything your responsibility. That must be really tough. Breathe deep. This too shall pass.”

Roxanne first announced she was expecting during the summer, posing in a Calvin Klein underwear shoot that showed off her growing bump. She also shared romantic pictures with her mystery partner – the first time she’d ever gone public with their relationship.

The couple appears very much loved-up as they held each other’s hands. She wrote alongside the photos: “Joint project.”

It’s been a whirlwind few months for the 45-year-old, who has kept her personal life under wraps until now. Roxanne became a household name after joining Hollyoaks in 2005, playing feisty bar manager Louise Summers.

Following McKee’s decision to leave the show, she told The Digital Spy back in 2010: “I have enjoyed my time at Hollyoaks immensely and I’m going to really miss everyone at Lime Pictures.

“I have learned so much and will take away with me many happy memories — not just from everyone I have worked with but from Liverpool as a city too, which has become my second home. I know I will shed a few tears on the day I leave but I am so excited about what the future holds.”

After leaving the show, Roxanne swapped the village for Hollywood. She went on to land roles in Game of Thrones as Doreah, appeared in the BBC drama Lip Service, and starred as Lady Claire Riesen in the US sci-fi hit Dominion. Her film credits include The Legend of Hercules, Strike Back, and the horror sequel Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines.

Born in Canada and raised in England, the actress studied Social Policy and Political Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London, before finding fame. Away from acting, she’s passionate about health and fitness and has worked with Future Fit Training to promote wellbeing and confidence.

Caroline posted a picture to Instagram of a quote, which read: “When you love someone, you protect them from the pain, you don’t become the cause of it.” In the caption she added: “The ones I love are the people who hurt me the most.”

Fans jumped in the comments to continue to dig at Adam and the growing animosity with his mother. One wrote: “You only get one mother in life, some people need to remember this.” Another said: “Hold your head up high; not many Mums would’ve got up at 4am for those pool runs. Adam should be so proud.”

A third posted: “How awful for you! Hopefully one day he will realise that loving mums should be held in high regard. No woman should try to stop that.” Caroline liked the comment.

This isn’t the only post Caroline has uploaded about the situation. After she was not invited to the hen do, she posted: “Crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can’t explain how broken your heart is.”

While Caroline was looking after Adam’s son George, both the stag and hen dos were in full swing. Caroline’s sister, Louise Williams later posted to her own Instagram about the situation, branding Holly “divisive and hurtful” for not inviting Caroline.

Though her account is now private, the post was originally able to be seen publicly. In the caption, Louise wrote: “@hollyramsayy I’m so glad that you had a great hen do. As a bride, you deserve that. However, as a person you were divisive and hurtful towards a woman, who I have loved and continue to love deeply.

“A woman who opened her home and heart to you. You decided, for whatever reason, not to invite her, your prospective mother-in-law to your hen night yet Adam invited his father-in-law, your dad, to his stag night.”

She continued: “You invited your mum (quite rightly) and even your mum’s assistant, your sisters, your friends, my niece, but not my sister, your future mother-in-law.

“I have also seen messages passing between her and Adam about this and other matters and, quite frankly, I expected better of you and definitely of Adam. You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.”

The Mail reported that the post upset Adam and Holly so much that they now want to cut ties with the entire Peaty family and have banned Caroline from attending the wedding. Neither follows Caroline or Louise on Instagram anymore, and Adam’s sister, Bethany, is thought to be the only one of his family still invited to the wedding.

A source close to the family told The Sun: “It’s at a point now where Caroline has been told she should not come to the wedding. There is a feud rumbling on and it’s been absolutely devastating for everyone involved.”
