Kelly Osbourne has blasted Kelly Brook branding her a ‘bully’ and ‘performative’ after the model clashed on screen with Osbourne’s brother Jack during I’m A Celeb.
The 41‑year‑old took aim at Kelly in a fiery Instagram story, accusing the TV star of being ‘overly dramatic’ following her gagging reaction while gutting a fish during Wednesday night’s episode.
Jack, 40, Kelly’s younger brother, had stepped in to help his campmate as she struggled to prepare dinner, politely asking: ‘Would you like me to cut up the fish?’
Although Kelly, 45, accepted his offer, she later claimed to camera that Jack had ‘elbowed’ her aside, saying: ‘I saw Jack’s eyes light up, it was like Christmas to Jack, and he came running over and elbowed me out of the way to get to this fish like a caveman, and I was like, no, I’m going to do it.’
Kelly then insisted on chopping the fish herself but repeatedly gagged and retched at the smell, prompting Osbourne to slam her behaviour as ‘performative.’
Osbourne has now leapt to her brother’s defence, admitting the exchange triggered her ‘protective’ instincts and even made her feel like ‘attacking’ the Heart Radio presenter for her tone.
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.’
After comedian Eddie Kadi won six stars during Wednesday’s trial, the camp were awarded a meal of eel.
Jack immediately asked who was on cooking duty, before Kelly revealed she and Martin Kemp were in charge for the evening.
Speaking to her co-stars, she admitted: ‘I can’t guarantee it will be delicious but it will be cooked and it will be fine.’ To camera, she added: ‘I do love to cook, but when I sat down and looked at that eel head I realised the whole thing needed skinning, it had fins, it had teeth, eyes.’
Jack, who has taken the lead in camp, particularly with cooking, offered to help Kelly given her reaction to the fish.
The pair then squabbled over who would fillet and prepare the eel, with Kelly eventually taking charge, gagging and squirming at the smell. At one point, as she walked away from the cooking area, Jack advised her to ‘breathe through her nose.’
Despite the drama, Jack later insisted the eel was the best protein the camp had eaten since arriving in the Australian jungle.
The disagreement over the eel led Osbourne to unleash her fury on Kelly, accusing the former glamour model of reacting badly to her brother’s offer of help and describing her as a ‘bully.’
Since arriving at camp, Jack has taken a hands-on approach, lighting the fire and helping prepare meals, a style he says comes from growing up in a big family and raising four children of his own.
His sister Kelly may also be feeling especially protective, following the sudden loss of their father, Ozzy, who passed away in July.
During his time in the jungle, Jack has opened up to campmates about his grief, reflecting on his father’s legacy.
He has shared memories of Ozzy’s iconic final show this summer and laughed about his wild antics, including famously biting the head off a bat, noting how such behaviour would be frowned upon in today’s society.
