Television viewers are in for a treat as glamorous model and actress Kelly Brook prepares to trade her home comforts for the Australian jungle in I'm a Celebrity 2025. The iconic ITV series welcomes the former page three favourite as part of its landmark 25th season, where she'll join fellow celebrities facing bush tucker trials and camp life challenges.
From Beauty Contests to International Fame
Kelly Brook's journey to stardom began remarkably early. At just 16 years old, she won a beauty contest that her mother had entered her into, launching what would become an extraordinary modelling career. This early victory opened doors to major advertising campaigns, including memorable work for Foster's lager, Walkers crisps, and Bravissimo.
Her striking looks soon caught the attention of the Daily Star, leading to her recruitment as a Page Three girl. During the peak of her modelling career, Kelly became a regular feature in leading men's magazines including FHM, GQ, and Loaded. Her popularity reached its zenith in 2005 when she topped FHM's list of the world's sexiest women.
The commercial success continued when she made headlines in 2007 by signing a reported £1 million deal to become the face of Lynx body spray, cementing her status as one of Britain's most recognisable models.
Beyond Modelling: Television and Acting Career
While many know Kelly Brook for her modelling achievements, she has built an impressive and diverse career across television and film. Her acting journey began with a minor role in the film Sorted, but she quickly expanded her repertoire.
International audiences saw her on the superhero series Smallville, where she played the girlfriend of Lex Luthor in the early 2000s. Film appearances followed, including a role in the 2003 remake of The Italian Job and a starring role in ITV's Agatha Christie's Marple.
Her television presence extended beyond acting roles. In 2005, she took on presenting duties for Celebrity Love Island, a precursor to the modern version of the hit reality show. More recently, she's become a familiar face as a regular panellist on Loose Women since 2024.
Reality TV Experience and Personal Life
Kelly Brook is no stranger to reality television challenges. In 2007, she competed on Strictly Come Dancing, achieving a respectable sixth-place finish. More recent appearances include Celebrity Race Across the World in 2024 and a disguised performance as Frog on The Masked Dancer.
Her stage work has also been noteworthy, including playing Celia in Calendar Girls, demonstrating her versatility across different performance mediums.
In her personal life, Kelly married her longtime boyfriend Jeremy Parisi in 2022, marking a new chapter alongside her continuing television career.
As I'm a Celebrity 2025 prepares to launch, audiences can look forward to seeing how Kelly Brook adapts to jungle life. Her combination of glamour, television experience, and proven resilience across different entertainment formats makes her one of the most anticipated contestants in this milestone series.
