While model and Loose Women star Kelly Brook is currently battling the gruelling challenges of the Australian jungle on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, fans have a chance to revisit one of her most exciting film roles from the past.
From Jungle Trials to Hollywood Heists
The 46-year-old celebrity found herself in the bleak confines of 'Doomsville' this week after a difficult head-to-head trial against fellow campmate Vogue. This new 'Rivals' format, announced by hosts Ant and Dec, has seen the camp divided as the public voted to pair up the stars for a series of competitive challenges.
While Brook is best known for her television work, her filmography includes a notable appearance in the 2003 action-packed heist film The Italian Job. The movie, which is now available to stream for free on ITVX, features an all-star cast including Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, and Donald Sutherland.
A Star-Studded Production and Critical Acclaim
During the production of The Italian Job, Brook was dating co-star Jason Statham, with their relationship spanning approximately seven years from 1997 to 2004. The couple attended the film's premiere together during their time as one of Hollywood's notable pairs.
The film itself has garnered significant praise over the years, with viewers describing it as "pure entertainment but smart entertainment" and "fast-paced and funny." One enthusiastic fan commented, "This movie is a must-see for action fans who like to see a few little twists and turns."
The plot follows Charlie Croker (Wahlberg) and his team, including Brook who appears as Lyle's girlfriend, as they seek revenge after a heist in Venice goes wrong. After safecracker John Bridger is killed and the gold is stolen by traitorous team member Steve, the remaining crew plots an elaborate scheme to recover the treasure from Steve's Los Angeles mansion.
Where to Watch The Italian Job
For viewers looking to take a break from the jungle drama, The Italian Job represents the perfect streaming alternative. The film's availability on ITVX provides easy access to this critically acclaimed action movie that continues to entertain audiences more than two decades after its initial release.
Meanwhile, I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! continues nightly on ITV, with Brook and her fellow campmates facing further trials in the Australian outback. The current series has introduced twelve famous faces to jungle life, with the 'Rivals' format creating new tensions and dynamics within the camp.
