KELLY Brook’s ex-housekeeper has blasted “bully” claims made by Kelly Osbourne as she waded into the fish-cooking row on I’m A Celeb.
Gemma Daniels worked for Kelly Brook, 45, for nine years at the star’s £1million Kent farmhouse, which she sold in 2023.
She’s spoken out as tensions flare between Kelly and fellow contestant Jack Osbourne, 45, over kitchen duties Down Under.
The feud exploded online after Jack’s older sister Kelly Osbourne branded the Heart Radio host and former glamour model “a bully” and accused her of “performing for the cameras”.
But Gemma has fired back on TikTok, insisting I’m A Celeb is painting the star all wrong as she revealed Kelly’s secret acts of kindness towards her staff.
She said: “In the nine years that I’ve known Kelly Brook, I’ve never felt the need to stick up for her more than I do now.”
Gemma says she’s “just a girl from a council estate” and told followers Kelly had always treated her and her team with warmth and respect.
“She was a really lovely down-to-earth woman.
“I’m just a girl from a council estate and she trusted me and my team to come into the most amazing house.
“Even when she wasn’t there a lot, I went every week to look after it, and she used to throw the cleaners and the gardeners a party every Christmas.

“I’ve cleaned for a lot of people, some really rich and famous people, and they’ve never done that for us.
“She used to get us the most beautiful, thoughtful Christmas presents, all of us.
“When she’d get stuff for free, she would ask if we wanted it. There aren’t people who would do that.
“She didn’t need us there, but knew that we needed the money and she let me bring my children there, and there aren’t many people who would do that.
“I feel like she’s being portrayed really wrong on I’m A Celebrity.”
Kelly has faced criticism from viewers with some labelling her “insufferable” after clashing with Jack in camp.
He first corrected her potato-cutting, then again when the pair butted heads over who should chop the eel, despite Kelly being the designated camp cook.
But Gemma insists the public are seeing a distorted version of the woman she worked for.
She said: “She was the most amazing cook and she doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty.
“She is the most amazing woman, and I feel like people are coming for her like Kelly Osbourne when she is in the Jungle, unaware of what’s going on out here.
“I cried my eyes out when she sold the house, because I loved her, she didn’t need to get me all those gifts, I was just her cleaner, she didn’t need to do that.
“I hate seeing her portrayed as a bully because she ain’t, she was always really good to the gardeners.”
During the show Jack handed cooking duties over to Kelly but then offered to help her filet the eel, after she retched from the smell.
Kelly accepted Jack’s help, and later retold the story in the Bush Telegraph.
Laughing over the moment, she said: “I saw Jack’s eyes light up, it was like Christmas to Jack.
“He came running over and elbowed me out of the way to get to this fish like a caveman.
“I was like, no, I’m going to do it!”
After watching the episode, Kelly Osbourne didn’t hold back on Instagram, telling her four million followers: “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.’”
