Kelly Brook has revealed that her doctor suggested she take the weight loss drug Mounjaro ahead of her appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, a proposal she described as 'insane'. The Loose Women star, 45, is set to enter the jungle when the ITV show returns on Sunday, November 16.
Speaking on Elizabeth Day's How To Fail podcast, Brook said she was offered the prescription medication, which is approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. 'I was offered Mounjaro literally last week from my doctor. Isn’t that insane?' she said. 'I said, what do I need that for? He said: “Everyone’s on it,” and I’m like: “Well I’m not...”'
The model and TV personality, who has previously taken part in Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Race Across the World, expressed her love for her body and her refusal to conform to pressure. 'I absolutely love my body. And I did a marathon this year and I’m 45 years old,' she said. 'My body has got me through so many things and I just love my curves. My husband loves my curves. I just think it’s unfortunate that women feel the need to change who they are.'
Brook admitted she is not against all cosmetic procedures, saying she enjoys facials, massages and a little Botox, but weight loss jabs are not for her. 'I do things when it comes to my body, I’m really precious about my body,' she added.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here returns on Sunday, November 16, at 9pm on ITV, with a line-up including Jack Osbourne, Martin Kemp, Lisa Riley, Shona McGartey and Aitch.
