Jack Osbourne and Kelly Brook have shut down rumours of a feud after sharing a tongue-in-cheek photo showing the Heart Radio presenter mock-strangling her former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! campmate.
The 40-year-old son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne posted the snap with the caption: “Kells Kitchen nightmare! naaa jk. Kelly Brook is the homie, loved sharing the camp with her! Don’t believe everything the TV tells you.”
The 46-year-old presenter replied warmly beneath the photo, simply writing: “Love you.”
The pair joked about claims of a fallout as Ms Brook posed in a jersey, denim shorts and flip flops, while Mr Osbourne wore a blue T-shirt, shorts and a cap.
The post appears to address comments made by Mr Osbourne’s sister, Kelly Osbourne, who called Ms Brook a bully while reacting to the ITV show on Instagram.
Speaking to The Sun after his exit on Friday night, Mr Osbourne rejected that characterisation, saying: “Kelly is not a bully at all. Kelly Brook is awesome.
“We had an absolutely fine friendship in camp. There was never anything, at least on my side. We were chill the whole time. We got on great, just like everyone.”
He suggested his sister’s opinions stemmed from protectiveness rather than genuine conflict, adding: “I haven’t seen the whole episodes yet… I don’t know what went out there, what was said.”
Others took to the comments of Mr Osbourne’s Instagram post to show their support for the small screen duo.
Ms Brook’s husband left a heart emoji, while another wrote: “It’s was a really good year this year guys and Jack you were awesome man.”
“Pair of legends,” another penned.
Some viewers instead blamed Ms Osbourne for the drama, suggesting she sparked tension by criticising Brook during the show. “It wasn’t the telly, it was Kelly Osbourne,” one user wrote.
Mr Osbourne was eliminated in a surprise double exit alongside actress Lisa Riley, becoming the seventh celebrity to leave the series.
Ms Brook later echoed his comments, telling the Daily Mail that Mr Osbourne was actually among her closest allies during her 18 days in camp.
“I probably got on with him the best out of everyone, like Jack, Martin and Vogue – they were my people in there,” she said.
She explained early tensions were simply part of figuring out camp roles, saying contestants were still learning “what each other were doing”.
Ms Brook acknowledged Mr Osbourne’s outdoors experience meant he naturally took on duties, while she had hoped cooking would keep her occupied.
The perceived friction stemmed from disagreements over food preparation in the first week.
During one scene, Mr Osbourne offered to help as Ms Brook prepared fish, and while she initially accepted, she later told cameras he had “elbowed me out of the way to get to this fish like a caveman.”
Her gagging while gutting the fish led Kelly Osbourne to accuse Ms Brook of being “overly dramatic” and “performative”, branding her “a bit of a bully.”
Ms Brook’s stepfather dismissed the accusations as “a load of rubbish.”
After leaving the jungle, Mr Osbourne shared happier personal news, his wife Aree is expecting their second child, currently 28 weeks pregnant.
He described the pregnancy as “healing” and a “healthy distraction” while grieving his father Ozzy Osbourne, who died in July after a heart attack just weeks after his final Birmingham concert.
Mr Osbourne said Aree was able to tell Ozzy about the baby before his death and that the news brings “a bit more hopefulness” to the family.
The couple married in September 2023 and have chosen not to reveal the baby’s gender.
