Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly shocked I’m A Celebrity viewers after making a playful but unmistakable nod to their long-rumoured feud with Kelly Brook.
Ant and Dec were chatting with Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers about how the celebrities had been coping with camp cooking duties.
Both presenters joked that the meals this year looked particularly unappealing, with Ant, 50, pointing out that the ingredients weren’t difficult to use if cooked properly.
Ant then jokingly insisted that every dish he’d seen this year ‘looked rancid.’
Kemi jumped in to mention that Kelly Brook and Martin Kemp were the current camp cooks.

This comment created the perfect setup for Dec’s cheeky remark. With a dramatic glance towards Ant, he blurted out: ‘What’s your problem with Kelly Brook?!’
The studio instantly erupted into laughter.
Ant quickly pointed at Dec and responded: ‘Don’t you start!’ before adding, ‘I don’t have a problem with Kelly Brook, thank you!’
Joel Dommett then tried to steer the conversation back on track.
By that point, social media was already blowing up with reactions.
One viewer, @whopottervian, posted on X: ‘As if they just acknowledged Ant and Dec’s beef with Kelly Brook on Unpacked.’
The clip sparked debate among viewers over whether the moment was meant to finally address the old rumour or simply tease it.
Kelly’s arrival in the jungle immediately reignited interest in her short-lived 2009 stint on Britain’s Got Talent.
Many viewers still remember the sudden way she was dropped from the judging panel after only two days.
Her removal sparked years of speculation, particularly over claims that Ant and Dec were unimpressed when Kelly allegedly asked them what they actually did on the show.
The 46-year-old TV personality and model later implied that the duo played a role in her exit, though neither party ever confirmed the rumours.
This silence helped the alleged feud linger for more than a decade.
Kelly herself has not commented on the exchange.
Inside the camp, she has been concentrating on surviving daily challenges rather than revisiting past controversies.
Sources said Kelly is gearing up to make ‘great television’ with her reunion with the hosts, as she ‘doesn’t forget’ those who have wronged her.
‘Kelly might be all smiles, but underneath, she is a tough, tough woman who doesn’t take well to being crossed,’ a friend of the star said.
‘She thinks Ant and Dec sneered at her for being a Page 3 girl; they didn’t think she had any talent.’
They added that Kelly is ‘a down-to-earth working-class girl’ who ‘hates snobby behaviour’.
I’m A Celebrity continues on ITV1. Unpacked airs on ITV2. Both shows are available to stream on ITVX.
