Piers Morgan has shared 'the truth' behind Ant and Dec's fallout with Kelly Brook.

Brook was one of the most talked about names from the first episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Most notably because of her supposed feud with the Geordie presenting duo.

The model and TV personality was one of the higher paid celebs going into this upcoming season and many fans were curious what her interactions were going to be like with the pair.

Whilst a body language expert claimed that she was trying to ‘assert dominance’ over the pair, most simply found their initial interactions to be a bit underwhelming, and so will be wondering what the truth is behind the supposed feud.

What caused a feud between Brook and Ant and Dec?

The story dates back to Brook’s incredibly short time as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent in which she was fired within a few days of filming beginning in 2009.

The model has long claimed that the pair were responsible for her firing.

While Cowell claimed at the time that the new four-judge format wasn’t working, Brook told The Sun at the time that the pair had her fired because she upset them.

She stated that the pair were ‘had never been anything but pleasant to [her] face’ but accused them of getting her booted off because of ‘their egos’.

Declan Donnelly addressed this in his 2009 memoir, saying he and Ant were peeved Kelly had been hired without telling them.

He wrote: "Simon, without talking to anyone, had decided it was a good idea. We didn’t agree.”

They were annoyed further when she asked them what they did, implying that she hadn’t watched the show before becoming a judge.

He said in his book: "Kelly looked nervous, so I told her it was going to be great fun and to just relax and enjoy it.

"She nodded, then looked at me and said, 'And what do you do on the show?'

"I looked at Simon, who was sitting next to me. He turned to Kelly and said, 'Kelly, you have seen the show, haven’t you?' To which she replied, 'Yeah… well, bits'."

What has Piers Morgan said about why Kelly Brook got sacked and how Ant and Dec are involved?

Piers Morgan, himself a former Britain’s Got Talent judge from the season Brook was fired, has taken to Instagram to post about the situation coming back into the public eye.

He posted a picture of the four judges and presenting duo, saying in the caption: “As Kelly Brook goes into the I’m A Celebrity jungle, a throwback to when she very briefly appeared as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.. for just two disastrous days!”

Morgan went on to stir the pot, saying: “Be interesting to see how she interacts with Ant and Dec given she still blames them for being fired so fast and ruthlessly.. which isn’t far from the truth.

“They weren’t happy they hadn’t been consulted by Simon Cowell about Kelly’s sudden hiring - and even less happy when she asked them what they did on the show.”

Morgan’s addition to the story seems to confirm that Dec's and Kelly's recollection of events are accurate.
