Piers Morgan has publicly addressed the long-rumoured tension between Kelly Brook and television presenting duo Ant and Dec. The outspoken broadcaster broke his silence just as Brook entered the I'm A Celebrity jungle, where she is set to encounter the Geordie hosts.
The Instagram Revelation
On Monday, Morgan took to his Instagram account to share a throwback picture from 2009. The photo featured himself, Kelly Brook, and Ant and Dec, taken during what he described as her two 'disastrous days' as a guest judge on Britain's Got Talent. In a candid caption, Morgan did not shy away from confirming the reports of a behind-the-scenes clash.
The Root of the Conflict
According to Morgan's account, the friction began when Simon Cowell hired Brook for the talent show without consulting its long-standing hosts, Ant and Dec. They weren't happy they hadn't been consulted about Kelly's sudden hiring, Morgan wrote. The situation escalated further during her brief stint on the show when, despite their fame as the programme's presenters, Brook allegedly asked the duo what their role on the show actually was. Morgan confirmed this incident, stating they were 'even less happy when she asked them what they did on the show'.
Lasting Repercussions
Piers Morgan concluded his social media post by noting that Kelly Brook still holds Ant and Dec responsible for her being fired from Britain's Got Talent 'so fast and ruthlessly'. He added that this belief 'isn't far from the truth', heavily implying the hosts' displeasure played a part in her swift departure. This revelation sets the stage for a potentially dramatic reunion as Brook now appears on one of Ant and Dec's flagship programmes, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, which aired on Sunday night.
