Warning: This article contains discussion of domestic violence which some readers may find distressing.

Kelly Brook previously admitted to punching an ex-boyfriend in a 'Jerry Springer' moment while in a Las Vegas nightclub.

The TV personality and model has been candid about her romantic life since entering the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, which includes famous exes such as Jason Statham, Billy Zane and Thom Evans.

She also disclosed her five failed engagements before finally tying the knot with husband Jeremy Parisi in 2022.

The 46-year-old has also often spoken openly about the good and the bad aspects of her relationships, which included revealing an incident where she punched ex-partner Danny Cipriani over an alleged indiscretion at a Las Vegas nightclub in a 'very Jerry Springer' moment.

Sharing details about the bust-up in her 2014 memoir Close Up, Brook explained that she and former rugby union player Cipriani where partying at Spearmint Rhino in Las Vegas when he started being flirtatious with a stripper.

Brook claimed that she'd caught Cipriani dancing with the unnamed woman and attempting to give her his number, leading to her lashing out and 'punching' him.

"At that point, four bouncers leapt on me. They picked me up like the crazy, drunk, betrayed woman I was. It had all gone very Jerry Springer," she wrote.

Brook and Cipriani were first linked together in 2008 and would date until 2010. The 38-year-old also referenced the incident in his own book, Who Am I?, placing the blame on the other woman.

"I was having a dance and it felt like she was doing a bit more than a dance," he wrote.

This isn't the first time in which Brook has admitted to getting physical with a former partner, as the former Page 3 girl previously revealed that she'd also hit The Expendables star Statham after he'd attempted to flirt with Gwyneth Paltrow while attending Madonna's wedding to Guy Ritchie.

"Jason started to swing his hips from side to side and do a little jive with his arms, saying: 'Gywnnie, Gwynnie, Gwynnie! Sexy, sexy, sexy'," she wrote in her book.

"He turned round, only to be met with my fist in his face."

Brook's admission that she's punched two former partners has been met with considerable backlash, with her actions being branded 'unacceptable' by anti-domestic violence campaigners.

Addressing the incidents in an interview on The Morning, Brook said the following: "In my defence, I don't think [Statham] felt it. This is Jason we're talking about - he's a martial arts expert! It's true I did both of those things.

"I'm not saying I'm an angel and I'm not saying that things I've done are right. I'm not saying that's the right thing to do at all but yeah, I guess I got some of that fiery passion from my parents.

"These are big men that I go out with, they're not going to [feel it]... Look at me! I can't exactly do a man any damage."

If you are experiencing domestic violence, please know that you are not alone. You can talk in confidence to the national domestic violence helpline Refuge on 0808 2000 247, available 24/7, or via live chat, available 10am-10pm, Monday to Friday.
