Kelly Brook has revealed a bizarre run-in with pop star Lizzo, claiming the singer blanked her during a live radio interview. The 45-year-old model and presenter, who is set to appear on this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, recalled the uncomfortable moment while speaking about her experiences on air.
Brook, who co-hosts Heart Radio's drivetime show with Jason 'JK' King, said she expected warmth from the Grammy-winning star but was left stunned. 'I thought she would be a bit more for the women but she didn't take her glasses off and she didn't look at me once. She just spoke to JK,' Brook told The Sun. 'For me someone like Lizzo is a strong woman and I just thought she would be a bit warmer towards me. But it was like I didn't even exist.'
The former Strictly Come Dancing star described the encounter as 'weird' and 'unusual', adding that most guests are lovely. Meanwhile, Brook is preparing to swap the radio studio for the Australian jungle, where she will face bushtucker trials and jungle life alongside Ruby Wax, Lisa Riley and social media star Angry Ginge.
Before flying out, Brook was spotted at Heathrow Airport with husband Jeremy Parisi. She admitted she will miss her husband and her dog, Teddy. According to insiders, Brook went to great lengths to ensure her pampered pooch was well cared for, stocking the freezer with gourmet meals including poached salmon with cavolo nero cabbage and venison steak with Chantenay carrots.
Brook, who married Italian model Parisi in 2022, has had a change of heart about entering the jungle. In 2018, she told The Sun she would never do it, citing a hatred of confined spaces and a refusal to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles. Now, seven years later, fans are eager to see how the glamorous TV personality copes with the challenges of jungle life.
