Kelly Brook has revealed she was offered a weight-loss jab before heading into the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! Jungle.
The former model, 45, who is due to enter the Australian jungle on Sunday, told how her doctor offered her Mounjaro – but she turned them down because she loves her curvy body.
Speaking on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast, Kelly said: ‘I was offered Mounjaro literally last week by a doctor. Isn’t that insane?
She added: ‘I said, “What do I need that for?” He said “everyone’s on it” and I’m like “Well, I’m not”. I said, “What are the side effects?, he was like, “There aren’t any”.
‘There was a whole conversation, but I don’t comply. He knows I don’t comply because they try and give me all sorts of things. I know what I like.’
While discussing surgical procedures and tweakments, Kelly admitted she wasn’t averse to some ‘intervention’ here and there, but she draws the line at using weight-loss jabs.

The former model, 45, who is due to enter the Australian jungle on Sunday, told how her doctor offered her Mounjaro – but she turned them down because she loves her curvy body
She said: ‘I love my facials, massage, I have a little Botox because I frown a lot. I do do things, but when it comes to my body, I’m really precious about my body.
‘I love my body, I absolutely love my body. I did a marathon this year, and I’m 45 years old.
‘My body has got me through so many things, and I just love my curves, my husband loves my curves, I just think it’s unfortunate that women feel the need to change who they are.’
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes and for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related health conditions.
According to the NHS, for most adults if your BMI is between 30 to 39.9 then you are medically obese, while higher than 40 means morbidly obese.
It comes after Kelly revealed some of the lengths she’s gone to in a bid to combat the stringent food rations on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
Despite previously insisting she’d never sign up for the show, the former glamour model is joining stars including Martin Kemp, Ruby Wax and Alex Scott in the jungle when the new series kicks off.
Speaking ahead of her jungle debut, Kelly declared she’s been trying to ‘fatten herself up’ by indulging in chocolate, roast dinners and wine, and the only preparation she’s done has been cutting down on caffeine and sugar.

She added: ‘There was a whole conversation, but I don’t comply. He knows I don’t comply because they try and give me all sorts of things. I know what I like’
She also said she’ll be ready to recreate Myleene Klass’ famous bikini-clad moment in the jungle shower, and has packed her swimwear for moving into the camp.
Detailing her preparations, Kelly said: ‘I said I was going to go to the gym and do some big hikes. I haven’t done any of that.
‘I have also been fattening myself up in the run-up as I’ve been having chocolate, roast dinners and a few glasses of wine.
‘I also had a little wobble, but I realised that was more to do with the dog and what the dog was going to do whilst I was away.
‘I will literally be arriving unprepared. But I did a month of Vegan January once and I was living on beans then.’
Kelly added that she decided to say yes to the show after tackling the challenge of running the London Marathon, as well as Celebrity Race Across The World with her husband Jeremy Parisi.
She said that this will be the longest time she and Jeremy have been apart, but she is viewing as a ‘hiatus from married life.’
Kelly is renowned for her hourglass curves and first found fame after forging a career as a lingerie model and Page Three girl for The Daily Star.
And she added that she’s already packed her bikinis for the jungle, and could recreate Myleene Klass’ famous moment in the jungle shower.

She said: ‘It’s definitely an iconic moment isn’t it? It’s scary, but I have got lots of swimwear options. I will be packing some bikinis. I have also heard doing this programme can be life-changing, so that’s very exciting.
‘A lot of people have said they have gone in and come out a different person. They’ve also said it changes your whole outlook on life and I hope to have an experience like that.
‘I want to come out from something so mad, fun, and brilliant and have a spiritual awakening.’
Back in 2018, Kelly said there would be ‘a million’ other things she would rather do like working in her local pub, than appear in the jungle.
‘I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there,’ she said on her Heart radio show.
‘Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.’
But it was thought she was finally persuaded by a big money deal as she joins soap, music and comedy legends in the line-up ahead of the show’s return later this month.

Shona McGarty, Eddie Kadi, Aitch, Alex Scott, Jack Osbourne, Lisa Riley, Kelly, Angry Ginge, Ruby Wax and Martin Kemp will be moving into the Austalian jungle when the new series begins on Sunday.
Irish TV personality, Vogue Williams, and beloved Celebs Go Dating receptionist, Tom Read Wilson, have been confirmed as the late entries to this year’s I’m A Celeb.
Each year, two contestants enter a week later than the first batch of 10 celebrities and typically have to complete their own task before joining the rest of the camp.
I’m A Celebrity starts Sunday at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
