Family Rubbishes Bullying Accusations
Kelly Brook's family has fiercely defended the model after Kelly Osbourne accused her of bullying on social media. The row erupted following a clash between Brook and Jack Osbourne on the hit ITV show, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
The model's stepdad did not hold back when speaking to the Daily Mail, dismissing Osbourne's claims as "a load of rubbish". This strong rebuttal comes after a tense few days in the jungle camp, where culinary disagreements have sparked a wider feud.
The Eel Incident That Started It All
The controversy began earlier this week when Kelly Brook, 45, and Jack Osbourne, 40, were preparing an eel for the camp's dinner. On the show, viewers saw Jack offer to help Kelly after noticing she was gagging and retching from the smell.
While Brook initially accepted the offer, she later confided in the Bush Telegraph, the show's confessional camera, that she felt Jack had "elbowed" his way into taking over. "I saw Jack's eyes light up, it was like Christmas to Jack, and he came running over and elbowed me out of the way to get to this fish like a caveman," she said.
This wasn't the first time the two had clashed over kitchen duties. Just days before, Jack had criticised Kelly's potato-slicing technique, creating an underlying tension. Kelly confessed to feeling "displaced" and "a bit lost," explaining she was still trying to find her place in the camp.
Osbourne's Sister Steps In and Sparks Backlash
Watching from home, Jack's sister, Kelly Osbourne, 41, took the comments personally. She took to her Instagram Stories to launch a fierce defence of her brother and a stinging attack on Brook.
"Kelly Brook… I don't think I like you," Osbourne stated. "Elbowing out of the way to get to the fish… you're so performative, with all the gagging and the over‑dramatics. You bring out my big‑sister vibes where I want to attack you because I feel like you're a bit of a bully."
This public accusation is what prompted the swift response from Brook's family, with her stepdad leaping to her defence in the national press.
Fallout and Apology in Camp
The altercation clearly left its mark on the camp dynamics. In an attempt to smooth things over, Kelly Brook later apologised to Jack for her comments. "I'm so sorry Jack if I'm coming at you and if I'm cutting potatoes wrong, but honestly it's only coming from a place where I just want to help," she said.
Jack, however, seemed unimpressed, responding by explaining his proactive nature was due to having four children at home. The tension culminated in Jack deciding to hand over cooking duties to fellow campmates Alex Scott and Shona McGarty.
When Alex later asked Kelly if she wanted to help with the cooking, she refused. Kelly expressed her frustration to other campmates, questioning Jack's authority: "So he's not in charge but then he's in charge of everything, choosing who's gonna be in charge!"
The ongoing drama has captivated viewers and sparked significant debate online about the dynamics within the jungle camp.
