Kelly Brook: Ant and Dec ruined my TV career

Kelly Brook

Kelly Brook has spoken out for the first time about getting axed from Britain's Got Talent and says the show's hosts Ant and Dec were to blame.

The TV personality told the Daily Mail that she was advised her TV career was over after she inadvertently upset the programme's presenters.

She said: "I would love to have stayed on the show. I really felt it was working out. Ant and Dec had never been anything but pleasant to my face but, clearly, they didn't want me on the show.

"There was nothing I could do in this country after Britain's Got Talent. The people at ITV were telling me that I had upset Ant and Dec and that was it."

The Geordie presenters claimed in their autobiography that Kelly had turned up for the first day's filming and asked them what they did on the programme, which suggested that she hadn't watched the show.

However, Kelly says she had watched it and that she had simply asked the presenters what they would be doing backstage during the recording.

She added: "Basically, I just don't think Ant and Dec liked me. Their egos are such that they were saying to themselves 'How dare she think she can come on to our show?', and since then they've been very vocal about their displeasure at me being there."

Kelly, who was axed after just six days, also revealed that Simon Cowell told her that he would have liked her to stay but that it wasn't possible because of what was going on behind the scenes.

Ant and Dec were reportedly angry that Kelly had been added to the show as a judge without their consent.

    Just another case of massive egos from little lucky people - the show is probably going to go down anyway.
