Television and radio personality Kelly Brook has proven that even a parachute jump can be a stylish affair, making a seriously glamorous landing on the beach ahead of her debut on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
A Fashionable Descent
The 45-year-old star, who will soon trade her chic wardrobe for the camp's standard red and khaki uniform, showcased her enviable curves in a form-fitting, plunging leopard print ensemble. This striking outfit was chosen for the show's first episode, scheduled to air on Sunday evening, and was paired practically with a set of chunky walking boots.
Enhancing her natural beauty, Kelly wore minimal, natural-looking makeup and left her glossy brunette hair to fall in soft, natural waves. Appearing completely unfazed, she flashed a broad, confident grin as she touched down on the sand following the adrenaline-fuelled skydive.
From Skydive to Bushtucker Trials
Her evident ease while parachuting suggests she may handle the notorious Bushtucker trials with similar composure on the gruelling ITV endurance programme. Her arrival was a social one, as she was seen greeting her future campmates, including rapper Aitch and comedian Eddie Kadi, who wrapped her in a big hug on the shore.
This high-flying entrance comes as reports surface about her pay packet for the show. Sources claim Kelly, who has an estimated net worth of £10 million, is being paid a huge six-figure sum for her stint in the jungle. According to Finance Monthly, the star could pocket around £300,000 for her participation. A representative for Kelly and ITV have been contacted for comment by The Daily Mail.
A Change of Heart
This lucrative deal marks a significant U-turn for the star. Back in 2018, Kelly expressed strong reservations about ever joining the show. On her Heart radio show, she stated there were 'a million' other things she would rather do, even work in her local pub, than appear in the jungle.
'I don't want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there,' she said at the time. 'Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn't do it.' She finished with a stark conclusion: 'It's kind of like the beginning of the end in my opinion!'
Kelly is one of ten famous faces entering the jungle this series, which is hosted by Ant and Dec. Other contestants include UK rapper Aitch, TikTok sensation Angry Ginge, and LBC presenter Nick Ferrari.
This is not Kelly's first foray into challenging reality television. Last year, she and her husband of two years, Italian model Jeremy Parisi, 40, swapped glamour for grit as they competed in the BBC's Celebrity Race Across the World.
The star, who has been linked to high-profile figures like Jason Statham and Billy Zane in the past, met Jeremy in 2014 after contacting him via Instagram direct messages. The couple married in 2022, and Kelly recently described her marriage as 'sacred' on Loose Women, detailing their co-dependent relationship where they prioritise dinner together every night and align their schedules to be with one another as much as possible.
