Kelly Brook spoke out in last night’s episode of I’m A Celeb to reveal that she had five different failed engagements prior to her current marriage.
The I’m A Celeb star admitted this as part of a wider discussion on engagements and relationships in the camp.
This saw fellow celeb Aitch reveal a fan had proposed to him at a fan meet, whilst Shona McGarty was left emotional after revealing that she herself had split up with her fiance not long before entering the jungle. Brook however spoke about her life prior to meeting her husband Jeremy Parisi.
She stated that he never actually proposed and it had been her suggestion, stating: “I think he was petrified in the past, that because of all the engagements I’d had that it was the beginning of the end.”

When she stated she’d been engaged five times, fans watching will likely have been left with the same question: who were these five men she was engaged to?
Jason Statham
Kelly Brook’s first engagement lasted from 1997 to 2004, with the pair having met prior to his Hollywood career as the pre-eminent bald action star (sorry Vin Diesel and The Rock).
Brook stated that, while his career flourished hers ‘floundered’, leaving her feeling ‘neglected’.
She has also shockingly stated that she punched Statham after catching him flirting at a wedding, later defending herself on This Morning after being criticized by anti-domestic violence campaigners.
Billy Zane
Brook stated that her engagement to Hollywood actor Zane was a ‘fling’ but, despite this, the pair were engaged during their four-year relationship.
Zane and Brook met on the set of Survival Island not long after her break-up with Statham.
She told Weekend Magazine: “Jason was my first love. Billy was never going to be somebody I wanted to spend my life with. It was a fling.”
Danny Cipriani
The Rugby Union England international dated Brook for two years, during which time (you guessed it) they got engaged.
They broke up after Brook accused Cipriani of finding texts on his phone showing him cheating on her with other women.
She has stated in the past that she also punched Cipriani, defending herself on This Morning by saying both people she hit were ‘big men’ she couldn’t do damage to.
Thom Evans
Brook’s next relationship was with a fellow rugby star Thom Evans, something that Cipriani stated hurt him.
He told The Sun: “I felt like it was fair game... I felt like what was mine wasn't mine any more. I was friends with Thom. It was definitely a difficult scenario.”
She suffered two miscarriages while with Evans, telling the How to Fail podcast: “I had a miscarriage at six months, which was the most traumatic, horrific thing that I've ever been through. It was just the most devastating thing. It took me quite a long time for my body and for everything to kind of, I don't think you ever fully recover from that, but our relationship didn't survive that and I just had to pick myself back up and just move forward.”

Her final engagement prior to meeting Jeremy Parisi was with David McIntosh, one of the Gladiator competitors.
Theirs was the shortest lived relationship of her five engagements, getting a ring just 11 weeks into dating and broke up six months later.
She accused him of cheating on her, tweeting the news saying: “It's a sad day but I wanted to share with you that David and I are no longer engaged. I love and respect him and wish him all the best.”
