Kelly Brook's husband Jeremy Parisi has spoken out about the emotional moment his wife broke down in tears during her stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, describing the experience as "tougher than I could have ever imagined."
The Emotional Breakdown
The 45-year-old former glamour model became overwhelmed with emotion during Tuesday night's episode after receiving family photos from home, just three days into her jungle experience. Viewers watched as Kelly sobbed uncontrollably while clutching a photograph of her husband and their dog Teddy.
Jeremy, 40, admitted in an interview that watching his wife's emotional moment was "really tough to watch." He revealed: "We spend most of our time together so I knew the distance would be hard but it's definitely tougher than I could have ever imagined."
The couple, who began dating in 2015 after meeting on social media and married in 2022, are experiencing their longest separation since they got together, with Kelly's time in Australia marking a significant milestone in their relationship.
Coping With Separation
Jeremy shared how he's been managing the distance from his wife, explaining that watching the show each night has provided some comfort. "It's been hard but Teddy and I are watching every night which has been a real comfort as we feel a bit closer with her back in our living room just on the TV and not next to us on the sofa," he told The Mirror.
During an appearance on Thursday's episode of Lorraine, Jeremy expressed pride in his wife's jungle journey while maintaining a sense of humour about the situation. "She seems to be okay now but let's give it two weeks," he joked, before adding more seriously: "I think she will be okay because she has made friends now. You need to be a team and stick together."
Viewer Reactions and Camp Tensions
The emotional family photo moment sparked strong reactions from I'm A Celebrity viewers, many of whom took to social media to express their disbelief at the stars becoming homesick so quickly. One viewer wrote: "They're doing Family Photos already? It's not even been a week!" while another commented: "Not being funny, but they're barely over jet lag, and they're sobbing over family photos. I've been on longer business trips."
The episode also saw tensions flare between Kelly and fellow campmate Jack Osbourne over cooking duties. Kelly criticised Jack's potato-peeling technique and claimed she felt "useless" because he wouldn't let her help, ultimately leading to Jack stepping back from cooking responsibilities.
However, Wednesday's episode saw the dynamic shift again when Kelly asked Jack for help with dinner, only to immediately gag over the smell of eel that Eddie Kadi had won in a Bushtucker Trial. The situation prompted Jack to question: "But, you asked me to help?" as Kelly wretched in a bush at the side of the camp.
Speaking to the Bush Telegraph afterwards, Kelly expressed frustration: "He was elbowing me out of the way to get to this fish to be a caveman." Jack defended his approach, stating: "It's a fish, you rip the guts out. I was like I'm not going to waste."
The 2025 I'm A Celebrity series features an all-star lineup including Martin Kemp, Lisa Riley, Jack Osbourne, rapper Aitch, former EastEnders star Shona McGarty, and comedian Ruby Wax among others, creating a diverse camp dynamic that continues to unfold in the Australian jungle.
