An I’m A Celebrity alum claimed Kelly Brook asked for help with a cheating ex-boyfriend – only for Kelly to brutally snub her later.
Fellow model Nicola McLean, 44, took part in the ITV show back in 2008, when Joe Swash was crowned King of the Jungle.
Although having met Kelly ‘quite a few times’ and liking her, Nicola admitted the two “did have a situation.”
Speaking to The Sun, Nicola described the 45-year-old as ‘the most beautiful person’.
She added: ‘When one of her boyfriends was cheating, she phoned me because I knew who he was cheating on her with, and I helped her for the whole day.’
However, Nicola did not disclose the identity of Kelly’s former partner.

Nicola added: ‘She was nuts, and I’m like “good for you for being nuts”. I’d be nuts as well. I mean I’m not involved in the situation.
‘I’m just being a girl’s girl. She b****y unfollowed me afterwards and I was like, “oh, cheers Kelly!”‘
Kelly married Jeremy Parisi in 2022 and prior to this, had been in multiple high profile relationships.
She was previously engaged to Jason Statham, Billy Zane and Thom Evans respectively.
Meanwhile on I’m A Celebrity, Kelly has butted heads with campmate Jack Osbourne over cooking and preparation of food in camp.
In earlier episodes, Jack, 40, took on the role of unofficial camp chef, but Kelly criticised him for not letting her help.
The pair initially clashed over the preparation of potatoes after she attacked his technique.
Claiming she felt displaced by Jack, Kelly confessed: ‘I’m not gonna lie, last night I just felt, I just felt a bit lost.
‘I just want to be so useful, I’m just still trying to find my place in the camp in terms of what to do.’
Justifying her attempts to steer Jack in the kitchen, she added: ‘I’m so sorry Jack if I’m coming at you and if I’m cutting potatoes wrong, but honestly it’s only coming from a place where I just want to help.’
Jack fired back: ‘That’s just because in my world at home I’ve got four kids and I’m always just doing, doing, doing.’
He later made the decision to hand over cooking duties to Alex Scott and Shona McGarty.
Confusingly, when Alex suggested Kelly could help out, she declined.
The disagreement between the pair even sparked fears among viewers that he might quit the jungle amid the rising ‘stress’ and his emotional start to the series.
Claiming the cooking wasn’t his to delegate in the first place, Kelly said to Alex and Shona: ‘So he’s not in charge but then he’s in charge of everything, choosing who’s gonna be in charge.’
Then in Wednesday’s episode, Kelly was branded ‘insufferable’ by viewers after falling out with Jack over how to cook their eel for dinner – then gagging over the smell.
She tried to take charge over cooking the fish after Eddie Kadi won six stars in the Bushtucker Trial earlier in the day.
After she asked Jack for help with cooking the eel, she then criticised his way of trying to cut it before then taking the task back from him.

Viewers found it annoying as they penned on X: ‘Kelly Brook is seriously getting on my wick, asking Jack to do the eel, then shaming for doing it, then when she took it back from him retching #ImACeleb glad she’s got tomorrow’s trial.’
‘I thought I was gonna love Kelly Brook in this, but my God she’s a flipping whinger!! #ImACeleb’, another said.
A third chimed in: ‘Kelly Brook needs to leave Jack alone to do his little cooking in peace. Why is she so weird #ImACeleb.’
Fans of the series shared their concerns on X, branding the moment ‘unnecessarily dramatic’ as they pleaded with the contestants to remember that Jack is still grieving the death of his father, Ozzy.
To make matters worse, when new arrivals Tom Read Wilson and Vogue Williams were given the power to delegate jobs they put Kelly in charge of the kitchen, leaving Jack with toilet duty – no doubt breathing new life into the rivalry.
Jack’s sister Kelly has even waded into the fray. Speaking on Instagram, she said: ‘Kelly Brook… I don’t think I like you.
‘Elbowing out of the way to get to the fish… you’re so performative, with all the gagging and the over‑dramatics.
‘You bring out my big‑sister vibes where I want to attack you because I feel like you’re a bit of a bully.’
