Kelly Brook reveals cruel treatment from Race Across The World producers as she begged for a shower and food
KELLY Brook has revealed she begged producers for food and a shower while competing on Celebrity Race Across The World.
The star 44, is currently appearing in the popular BBC competition alongside husband Jeremy Parisi.
Kelly shared: “[Production] would not help us at all.
“They are eating Brazilian BBQ in front of you and won’t give you anything.
“There was a hotel room which all the crew were using to shower and charge their phones and I hadn’t showered in three days and they wouldn’t give me the key.
“I was trying to bond with them to get them to help us but they weren’t having any of it.
“The only thing we managed to get off them was a coconut because I suggested it would be good for a shot.”
Meanwhile, the show’s format sees four celebrities – each partnered with a loved one – race to be the fastest across a region to the final destination.
The teams, however, must complete the trek without using air travel.
Altogether, there have been four civilian series and two celebrity editions of the show.
In tonight’s finale, the teams — which also include Jeff Brazier and son Freddy, Ted Lasso star Kola Bokinni and his cousin Mary Ellen, and Radio 2’s Scott Mills and his now-husband Sam — will race to the last checkpoint in Frutillar, Chile.
The first episode saw them set off from Belem in Brazil.
It comes as the star opened up about her plans post-Celebrity Race Across the World.
She exclusively told The Sun: “I feel like I have already semi-retired. I am certainly not a bikini model any more and am not acting any more.
“I have been doing radio for the last five years and they say I have a face for radio these days.
“It’s not by choice — I think they retired me.”
Celeb Race Across the World: Series 2 cast and odds to win

- Jeff Brazier and son Freddie Brazier
- Kelly Brook and husband Jeremy Parisi
- Scott Mills and husband (then fiancé) Sam Vaughan
- Kola Bokinni and cousin Mary Ellen Moriarty
Heading into the final leg, per Gambling.com, Jeff & Freddie Brazier are the 11/10 favourites to cross the finish line first and win the race.
Scott Mills and Sam Vaughan have odds of 6/4.
Meanwhile, Kelly Brook and Jeremy Parisi have odds of 13/8.
Kola Bokinni and Mary Ellen Moriarty have odds of 5/2.
Addressing her decision to sign up for the show, Kelly shared: “Race Across The World was a bit left-field.
“It wasn’t something I was pursuing to get back on TV, it was just an incredible experience.
“I have no interest in other reality TV shows and I have no ambition to be stuck in a jungle with a bunch of people I don’t like.”
Celebrity Race Across the World airs on BBC One and is available on iPlayer.
