As she’s set to make her I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! debut, pals say Kelly Brook is concerned about how she’ll cope being apart from her husband Jeremy Parisi
She will face hundreds of creepy crawlies, have to sleep in a jungle and eat not much more than rice and beans for up to three weeks, as Kelly Brook is tipped to star in the latest series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, which kicks off next weekend.
For the next few weeks, the presenter will be living alongside the likes of soap star Lisa Riley, model and podcaster Vogue Williams, rapper Aitch and the late Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack. But as she settles into camp life, a source claims Kelly is concerned about how she will manage without her partner of 10 years, Jeremy Parisi.
Last month, she shared an insight into her relationship with the French actor and model. Kelly, 45, confessed to being “co-dependent” on her 40-year-old husband, who she married in 2022, as they must eat dinner together every night and have the same work schedules.

“I’m very co-dependent and I think Jeremy and I just wanna be together all the time,” she told her fellow panellists on Loose Women. “Well, I definitely want to be with him all the time, not sure he’d say the same. We like to go off and work separately, but I think in the evenings, we really pride ourselves on having dinner together, that’s really sacred to us. My marriage is really sacred.”
Kelly revealed how the pair ensure their schedules match to give them as much time together as possible, and would even turn work down if it meant they couldn’t see each other.
Her surprised Loose Women co-star Mariella Frostrup quipped, “I’m feeling quite suffocated just listening to you,” but Kelly insisted her marriage is “number one”.
The source tells us, “Kelly is extremely close to Jeremy. He does everything for her. He really is the most easygoing guy. She’s going to have real FOMO without him by her side.
“She’s going to really struggle to be honest, because they’re never apart it will be painful emotionally at times. It’s going to be interesting to see how she manages. She wants to push herself but she’s not used to being without him.”
Previously, Kelly was engaged four times before finally finding The One in Jeremy. One of her most high-profile romances was with actor Jason Statham, when they met in 1998.
He even popped the question but they parted ways after six years together. “I’m not the same as I was when we met,” said Kelly of their romance, which began in her late teens. “I’m a lot more complex now – a lot more high maintenance.”
Kelly went on to date Titanic star Billy Zane, getting engaged once more during the course of their four-year relationship that finished when she reportedly didn’t want to move to Los Angeles permanently.
She also dated rugby player Danny Cipriani for two years, but Danny admitted to cheating. “She went through my phone and saw lots of messages she probably didn’t enjoy reading,” the sports star revealed in his autobiography. “She just caught me red-handed.”
She moved on with Danny’s teammate Thom Evans, but Kelly suffered a miscarriage in May 2011. Shortly afterwards, they got engaged, making it Kelly’s third. Later that year, Kelly got pregnant again but miscarried for a second time in December, and their relationship ended the following year.
Kelly then had a whirlwind romance with former Gladiators star David McIntosh, who she got engaged to in 2014. However the pair broke up in 2015. The source adds, “We know she’s had a bit of a past, so she’s naturally more vulnerable.
“Jeremy doesn’t put a foot wrong, and he absolutely adores her, but it’s only natural she’d be scarred from the past. She’s worried about being in the jungle because she relies a lot on him. He’s her safety blanket so it’ll be interesting how she gets on.”
While heading to Oz will be a big ask for Kelly, she is also following in the footsteps of her rival Katie Price. She became swept up in a spat with Katie in 2013, which began when Katie cruelly called Kelly a “heifer” in her newspaper column.
Katie added, “Rumour has it she’s been hanging out with our mutual ex Danny Cipriani. Knowing him, I guess she’s probably been doing a bit of comfort eating.” Kelly slammed the comments as “unladylike” and said she felt let down by a woman airing “that sort of thing publicly about another woman”. But at one point Kelly even thanked Katie.
She said on Celebrity Juice, “I owe her a lot actually. She was the one who warned me about Cappuccino [Danny Cipriani] and his cheating ways. So that’s it, Katie and me are officially over it and I don’t hold a grudge. If it wasn’t for her I’d still be dealing with Danny. So thank you, Katie.”
Kelly plans to use her time on I’m A Celeb to change people’s perception of her. The source says, “There has been animosity between Kelly and Katie, but Kelly won’t concern herself with anything she might say about her while in the jungle.
“Kelly is a home girl, she loves food, she loves cooking, she loves the outdoors and wants to show that side of her. Kelly would love to see what this does for her career so she’s going to push through missing Jeremy and do this for herself.”
