KELLY Brook once turned to an I’m A Celebrity legend after an ex-boyfriend cheated on her – but brutally unfollowed her afterwards.
Reality beauty Kelly, 45, reached out to former glamour girl Nicola McLean, 44, after learning of her ex’s infidelity.
Though Nicola, who starred in the jungle in 2008, remains a big fan of “feisty” Kelly, she was surprised at how suddenly the busty brunette dropped her.
Nicola told The Sun: “I have met Kelly quite a few times and I like Kelly. One thing about Kelly. She’s in a room and you’re in a room. She’s the most beautiful person, her smile, everything. She really has got it.
“But I did have a situation with her. Of course I did. 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.
Speaking on behalf of WhichBingo, she continued: “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 bloody unfollowed me afterwards and I was like, ‘oh, cheers Kelly’.”
Nicola didn’t reveal the identity of the unfaithful partner, but Kelly has had a string of high-profile relationships.
She was engaged three times – to Jason Statham, Billy Zane and Thom Evans – before marrying husband Jeremy Parisi in 2022.
Nicola doesn’t hold a grudge for being cut off on social media. She’s rooting for Kelly and wants her to embrace her diva side in the jungle to stir up drama, though not at the expense of Jack Osbourne, whose rocker dad Ozzy died just four months ago.
She said: “I’ve heard how feisty she is, trust me, and I hope we see it because we all know I love a bit of drama in reality but just not towards Jack because I feel like it’s a bit fragile.”

Nicola starred alongside Jack on a past series of I’m A Celeb’s spin-off show and wants to see him succeed.
“I absolutely loved him,” she said. “He was such good fun and a really nice guy.
“I think he’s coming across really well in there. I think he’s so bright. His journey is unbelievable. I feel like Kelly is not being that kind to him, the fact that his dad’s not long passed away. He’s obviously like really capable camp mate and I think when you’ve got a really capable camp mate, let them do it.
She continued: “I think he’s just a natural leader and he also knows what he’s doing He’s just getting on with it.
“He’s probably still a lot of grief going on so he wants to be busy and it’s very boring in there. There’s a lot of time with your own thoughts, which could be great for him, he’s obviously good with his own thoughts with how long he’s been sober, but also he probably wants to keep busy.”
Aitch, Angry Ginge and Ruby Wax are also among Nicola’s favourites, with 72-year-old comedian Ruby holding a special place in her heart.
She recalls watching Ruby interview Pamela Anderson as part of her Ruby Meets… series in 1996.
The episode with Baywatch beauty Pam had a huge impact and set Nicola on her path towards modelling as a young girl.
“I must have been about eight or nine and my mum and dad were like ‘you’ve got to go to your bedroom’,” she explained. “We lived in a flat, only one telly, and they’re like ‘you’ve got to go to your room because this will be inappropriate’.
“So I’ve crawled behind the sofa and I’ve watched Pamela Anderson and Ruby Wax in the back of a car. Pamela Anderson licks Ruby Wax’s face and I remember thinking ‘I want to be that I want to be blonde with massive boobs’. That’s what I that was my aspiration in life.
“That’s all I wanted in life, to be Pamela Anderson basically, and it was just the way Ruby handled it I thought ‘I love her’ and I still love her now. She’s just brilliant.”
