In a truly stomach-churning moment on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, Kelly Brook was pushed to her absolute limit during one of the show's infamous eating trials. The former glamour model, 46, was left gagging and with tears streaming down her face as she attempted to consume a pig's brain alongside competitor Vogue Williams.
A Truly Revolting Rivalry
Shocking first-look images from Wednesday night's episode captured the sheer horror on the celebrities' faces. Kelly looked visibly sick, moments away from being ill, as she ultimately spat the brain out into her hands, exclaiming 'Oh no!' The pair were participating in a 'Rivals' challenge, with presenter Declan Donnelly setting the grim rules: 'The first celebrity to eat the entire pig's brain will be declared the winner.'
The disgust was palpable even before the challenge began. Their fellow campmates watched on in open-mouthed horror, with Eddie Kadi so appalled he buried his face in his hands. The moment the klaxon sounded, both women bravely began eating, but Kelly's body rebelled within seconds, causing her to retch violently.
A Battle of Stomachs and Wills
Vogue Williams, the 40-year-old TV personality and podcaster, displayed slightly more fortitude. She managed to stomach the brain for a little longer, her face a mask of intense concentration as she prepared to swallow. Presenter Ant McPartlin observed, 'Vogue's really gone for this.' However, her resolve was short-lived, and soon both celebrities were retching in unison as their bodies rejected the unusual meal.
Ant stressed the crucial rule: 'You've got to keep it down to win.' Despite their stomachs' vehement protests, the pair persevered. The physical toll was evident as Kelly began to tear up from sheer revulsion, while Vogue appeared to be physically shaking from the effort of tackling the brain. Dec sombrely noted, 'Kelly is struggling,' a statement confirmed by a cutaway to Tom Read Wilson, who could only stare in stunned silence.
Family Support Arrives in Australia
This gruesome challenge unfolded as a wave of support landed in Australia for the campmates. Kelly Brook's husband, Jeremy Parisi, was pictured at Brisbane Airport on Tuesday after his 10,000-mile journey. The 40-year-old Italian, sporting a casual look of a white t-shirt, jeans, and a black leather jacket, was in good spirits despite the long flight.
He was joined by his sister, Melanie, to support Kelly. Tom Read Wilson's mother, Juliette Cheeseman, was also snapped arriving, boasting a big smile for photographers. An I'm A Celebrity camera crew was on hand to greet them, likely filming for the annual Coming Out special.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jeremy Parisi addressed the much-publicised jungle feud between Kelly and campmate Jack Osbourne, playing down any drama. 'There's no drama,' he stated. 'I have no take on it because to be honest, people like to speak about drama that doesn't really exist. Jack is a lovely guy, I love him and his family.'
He also dismissed comments from Jack's sister, Kelly Osbourne, who had accused Brook of being a 'bully'. Jeremy responded, 'She said she "think" [Kelly's a bully] so it's not a problem at all and after the show, we will all go to dinner together.' Prior to his flight, Jeremy had weighed in on the cooking clashes, admitting he's been in Jack's position 'many times' and knows that Kelly, as a perfectionist and the head chef in their home, just wants the best for the campmates.
