  • Ant and Dec addressed their alleged long-running rivalry with Kelly Brook on their aftershow, Unpacked.
  • The discussion arose after Ant McPartlin commented on her poor cooking skills in the I'm a Celebrity camp, leading Dec Donnelly to ask about his 'problem with Kelly Brook'.
  • “Don’t you start! I don’t have a problem with Kelly Brook, thank you,” joked McPartlin in response.
  • The alleged feud originated from Brook's brief tenure as a judge on Britain's Got Talent in 2009, from which she was dropped after just one week.

  • Dec Donnelly admitted in their 2010 memoir, Ooh! What a Lovely Pair: Our Story, that he was 'annoyed' by Brook's hiring.
