Awkward Moment as Campmate's Humour Misses the Mark
Viewers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! were left squirming in their seats on Monday after an attempt at humour from Kelly Brook spectacularly backfired. The 46-year-old model and radio DJ pretended to put her head in a steaming cooking pot, quipping that she was 'having a facial'. The joke, however, was met with a wall of silence from most of her fellow campmates.
While Martin Kemp, 64, managed a polite smile, the other celebrities appeared to completely blank Kelly's efforts to raise a laugh. The awkward exchange did not go unnoticed by the audience at home, who quickly took to social media to voice their reactions.
Social Media Reacts to Cringe-Worthy Scene
Fans raced to X, formerly Twitter, to brand the moment 'embarrassing' and suggested that Kelly was trying too hard to be funny. One viewer wrote, 'I love how everyone ignored Kelly', while another observed, 'Kelly desperately peering out of the bucket to check whether anyone is looking at her is embarrassing'. Other comments were less kind, with one user sarcastically noting, 'Yeah using a dirty old pot for steam well done Kelly you're Einstein'.
The consensus among many was that the star was seeking attention. Posts included sentiments such as 'Kelly is dying for screen time' and 'Kelly thinking she is funny when she isn't', highlighting a difficult moment for the camp chef.
Viewers Spot Worrying Marks on Kelly Brook's Neck
In a separate incident that sparked concern, sharp-eyed I'm A Celebrity fans noticed a worrying change in Kelly Brook's appearance during Friday's episode. While she was talking in the Bush Telegraph and chatting with Vogue Williams, 40, and Lisa Riley, 49, about her camp duties, several red marks were clearly visible on her neckline above her t-shirt.
The star has not addressed these marks, leaving viewers to speculate on their origin. Many rushed to X to share their worries and theories about what could be wrong.
One concerned fan asked, 'Why is Kelly’s neck all red? Is it bitten?' Another tweeted, 'What happened to Kelly Brook's neck? #imaceleb.' The speculation continued with posts like 'Has Kelly’s neck been bitten to shreds?' and 'That's some rash on Kelly's neck! Damn!', with many assuming the marks were the work of the jungle's infamous insects.
Health Concerns Extend to Other Campmates
Kelly Brook is not the only campmate to have caused concern among the show's devoted followers. On Sunday's episode, viewers pointed out that rapper Aitch (real name Harrison James Armstrong) also appeared to have a mark on his neck, prompting further questions about the camp's conditions.
This follows an earlier incident where Lisa Riley sparked alarm among viewers. During an episode the previous Thursday, the 49-year-old Emmerdale actress appeared to have a swollen and reddened left eye. Though she did not mention any discomfort on the show, fans flocked to social media to express their concern for her wellbeing. One viewer wrote, 'What’s wrong with Lisa’s face? Has she been bit by something. Her under eyes look sore.'
While it is not known if Lisa sought medical attention, a representative for the show has confirmed that all campmates are closely monitored by the on-site medical team to ensure their health and safety throughout the experience.
