Kelly Osbourne has launched a fierce defence of her brother, Jack Osbourne, after he clashed with fellow I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Kelly Brook, branding the model a 'bully' and accusing her of 'performative' behaviour.
Instagram Fury Over Jungle Drama
The fiery exchange began after Wednesday night's episode of the hit ITV show, which saw Jack Osbourne, 40, offer to help Kelly Brook, 45, as she struggled to gut a fish for the camp's dinner. The 41-year-old Kelly Osbourne took to her Instagram Stories to unleash her fury, stating that the on-screen incident triggered her protective instincts.
She directly addressed Brook, saying, '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.' Osbourne concluded her social media outburst by confessing the situation made her want to 'attack' Brook because she felt the TV star was being 'a bit of a bully.'
The Eel Preparation That Sparked the Feud
The root of the conflict lay in the camp's meal preparation. After comedian Eddie Kadi won six stars in a trial, the campmates were rewarded with an eel. When Brook and co-star Martin Kemp were assigned cooking duty, Brook expressed her trepidation about handling the fish, which had 'teeth, eyes' and needed skinning.
Seeing her struggle, Jack Osbourne, who has emerged as a proactive leader in camp, politely intervened. 'Would you like me to cut up the fish?' he asked. Although Brook accepted his offer, she later gave a very different account to the camera, claiming Jack had 'elbowed' her aside. 'I saw Jack's eyes light up... he came running over and elbowed me out of the way to get to this fish like a caveman,' she stated.
Despite this, Brook insisted on chopping the fish herself, leading to a series of dramatic gagging and retching reactions that Kelly Osbourne later labelled as overly theatrical. At one point, Jack even advised her to 'breathe through her nose' to cope with the smell.
Protective Instincts and Personal Grief
Kelly Osbourne's vehement defence of her younger brother may be influenced by recent family tragedy. The siblings are still grieving the sudden loss of their father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away in July.
During his time in the jungle, Jack has openly discussed his grief with campmates, reflecting on his father's legacy and sharing memories of his wild antics. This emotional context adds a deeper layer to his sister's fiercely protective response to seeing him involved in on-screen conflict.
Despite the squabble, Jack later praised the eel as the best protein the camp had eaten since arriving in the Australian jungle, showing no lasting ill will. The public fallout, however, continues to play out beyond the jungle walls.
