Kelly Brook’s husband Jeremy Parisi feels like a ‘lovesick puppy’ as he copes on his own while the TV star takes on the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
The former glamour model, 45, appeared less than impressed with the living conditions in camp during Monday night’s show, after spending a night in a basic hammock while some of her co-stars enjoyed proper beds.
Kelly needed her rest after parachuting out of a helicopter during the ITV launch show on Sunday, which saw contestants including comedian Ruby Wax, Lioness Alex Scott, and singer Aitch meet in Australia for the first time.
And there’s no one prouder than Kelly’s French husband, Jeremy, 40, who previously appeared alongside her on BBC’s Race Across the World.
He admits he misses her more than he could have imagined, especially since this is the longest time the couple have ever spent apart.
Jeremy even finds himself forgetting that she isn’t home, sometimes picking up her favourite foods in the supermarket before remembering she’s surviving on rice and beans in the Australian jungle.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jeremy said he couldn’t believe how ‘glamorous’ Kelly looked despite her daring helicopter jump, and he is eagerly counting down the days until they are reunited.
‘I have been in the supermarkets and naturally went to buy Kelly’s favourite things, as I cook her breakfast every day,’ he said. ‘But I quickly realised she’s not here, which is sad. I feel like a lovesick puppy.
‘We always make sure to start every day having breakfast together, it’s quality time we cherish before getting on with our day. I love to make her granola, fruit, yoghurt with some honey on top.
‘Kelly looks fantastic on screen. I don’t know anyone else who could look that glamorous jumping out of a helicopter.
‘She is so beautiful inside and out, and I’m really proud of her. This has been the longest time we’ve ever been apart, so I can’t wait until we get to see each other again.’
Following romances with A-list actor Jason Statham, former Titanic star Billy Zane, and rugby players Danny Ciprini and Thom Evans, Kelly Brook finally found lasting love with Frenchman Jeremy.
The couple married in 2022 and have since starred together in La Vita Italiana, a three-part mini-series for ITV’s This Morning, which followed Kelly as she adapted to life at Jeremy’s family home and farm in Arpino.
Kelly fell for Jeremy after reaching out to him directly on Instagram, and the pair bonded over their shared passion for martial arts and fitness.

In the early days of their romance, Jeremy spoke very little English, relying primarily on French and Italian to communicate.
The couple married in Italy in 2022 and have kept most of their relationship out of the spotlight, as Jeremy prefers to remain private and isn’t in the public eye in the way Kelly has been since her teens.
In the wake of her I’m A Celeb appearance, the model, long celebrated for her curvaceous figure, has found herself targeted by cruel online trolls over her body.
Kelly revealed she was even approached by doctors offering weight-loss injections, admitting she was stunned that a medical professional would presume she was unhappy with her shape.

The Heart Radio presenter admitted she enjoys the occasional tweakment but is fiercely protective of her body and proud of her natural curves
Speaking on Elizabeth Day’s How To Fail podcast ahead of entering the jungle, she said: ‘I was offered Mounjaro literally last week by a doctor, isn’t that insane? I said, ‘What do I need that for?’ He said, ‘Everyone’s on it,’ and I’m like, ‘Well, I’m not.’ I asked about the side effects and he said, ‘There aren’t any.’
The Heart Radio presenter, who has largely stepped away from the spotlight in recent years to focus on life at her country home in Kent, admitted she enjoys the occasional tweakment but is fiercely protective of her body and proud of her natural curves.
She said: ‘I love my facials and massages, and I have a little Botox because I frown a lot.
‘I do things, but when it comes to my body, I’m really precious. I love my body, I absolutely love my body. I ran a marathon this year and I’m 45.
‘My body has carried me through so much, and I adore my curves. I just think it’s unfortunate that so many women feel they need to change who they are.’
