Some I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! viewers have taken to social media, saying they are adamant that producers are “giving Kelly Brook too much airtime”.
Fans of the programme, which airs on Virgin Media in Ireland, suggested there hasn’t been a fair distribution of airtime and some think ITV are playing up to their favourites.
Kelly, 46, is striving to win the show but faces tough competition from the likes of Irish media personality Vogue Williams, Tom Read Wilson, Shona McGarty and Martin Kemp.
Many intriguing moments of this series have concerned Kelly, including how she appeared to forget it was her birthday on Sunday, and a dig at Jack Osbourne. However, writing on Reddit and other social media apps, viewers have shared their frustration of airtime they think has been given to Kelly, a model and actress, Mirror UK reports.
One person asked on Reddit: “But why are the editors so obsessed with her?… Catching up on Saturday’s show, and oh my GOD it’s like nobody else is there. Kelly is in almost every shot it feels like. Compared to Shona, who was actually in the trial and didn’t get the breakfast, Kelly seems to be on-screen constantly.”
Another posted: “I couldn’t believe how little Shona was shown last night. I said to my husband about it.”

Viewers referred to 34-year-old Shona, who played Whitney Dean in EastEnders between 2008 and 2024. One fan described her as “funny and entertaining” and expressed disappointment claiming the actress had “little screen time” despite taking part in a recent Bushtucker Trial.
Shona, originally from Barnet, north London, has taken part in three trials, more than Kelly’s two. However, recent episodes have explored Kelly’s “feud” with Jack, media personality and son of tragic Ozzy Osbourne.
Jack and Kelly clashed over preparing fish for dinner, which followed on from when Jack criticised her potato slicing while preparing a previous meal in the jungle.
But other social media users also stressed, despte the row, they’d like to see the air time split evenly. One wrote: “Let’s hear more from others, like Alex [Alex Scott].” Another viewer posted: “I wish they would give others, rather than Kelly, more screen time. It’s annoying.”
However, Kelly, who was in The Italian Job and Ripper among other films, faced scathing criticism before going into the jungle. Trolls made vicious comments about her figure, which led to husband Jeremy Parisi to defend his spouse.
The actor, who wed Kelly in 2022, said: “I’m so happy to see Kelly being so confident and happy in her own skin, it’s hard for women in the public eye to be put under such scrutiny but she is a positive role model for so many women which is something she should be proud of.”
