I’m A Celeb’s Kelly Brook issues heartbreaking plea ahead of show’s shower scenes
TV personality and I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Kelly Brook has revealed that she had one huge request prior to her debut on the popular reality show.
Brook made her way into the jungle on last night's episode, the first of this year's celebrity edition, alongside the likes of Angry Ginge, Aitch, Alex Scott, Martin Kemp, and other big names.
The former Page Three model has competed in several reality TV shows over the years, but she'll really be put to the test on the popular ITV series with all the Bushtucker Trials that she may be facing.
Now 46, Brook has urged viewers to accept how she looks ahead of her appearance on the show, alluding to one particular shot which may be taken of her.

I'm A Celeb's famous 'Jungle shower'
Seasoned I'm a Celeb viewers will know all about the famous Jungle shower, following its rise to virality following Myleene Klass' wash-off in her white bikini back in 2006.
Brook, in a recent interview with The Mirror, said: "Obviously, I am not a 20-year-old bikini model anymore. You know, life changes and your body changes.
"And I just hope people are accepting of me and how I look now, and not comparing me to how I used to look.
"You know, I am a very different person. I am older, but I am still strong and I am still fit, and that is the most important thing."
'I'm not apologising for having boobs and a bum'
Brook says she has 'embraced' her curves, which make her 'feel really confident', even revealing that she ran a marathon earlier this year.
"I’ve always been a curvy girl and I’m proud of that," she previously said.
Trolls have said she was 'too big' on social media in the past, to which she said: “I’m a healthy size 12. I’m not apologising for having boobs and a bum.”
The TV personality even said she packed 'plenty of swimsuits' for the shower, even taking time to speak to Klass herself about her own moment on I'm a Celeb.
“Yes, Myleene did talk to me about the shower,” Brook began, adding: “She said that when she arrived she did not actually have a swimsuit that was appropriate for the television.
"So she actually had to run out and get something. I think it would be very difficult to try and recreate something like that. That was fate that was meant to be, and that was her moment."
Brook did admit that while she'll be stripping off, it won't be for too long due to the 'freezing' showers, meaning she 'will be in and out very quickly'.
Her biggest worry though, is being away from her husband Jeremy Parisi, who she has been married to for 10 years.
“I relied on Jeremy so much…so when this opportunity came up, I thought, 'You know what? I should really test myself'," she said of her significant other.
