Kelly Brook admitted she was “completely devastated” after a tense argument with her husband Jeremy Parisi on Wednesday’s episode of Celebrity Race Across The World.
The 44-year-old model embarked on an epic journey through South America with her husband, but a major accident during the trip caused a clash between the two.
A mistake left Kelly and Jeremy miles behind their famous rivals and they found themselves stranded in Brazil, with no local currency after spending too much on a taxi.
Jeremy decided they should take a taxi, but that cost them a crucial four hours into the race. On top of that, Kelly’s decision to take a coastal route cost them additional time.
As she rushed down the street to find a bank where she could exchange some money, Kelly said to Jeremy, “Oh my God, like one horrible decision. You took that cab, and then we were stuck.’

A mistake left Kelly and Jeremy miles behind their rivals and they were stranded in Brazil, with no local currency after spending too much on a taxi.
“If we continue like this, we will continue to make those mistakes.”
Jeremy responded, “We’re on the same side!”
Kelly said, “I know we’re on the same page, but the fact is we were so eager to get racing and get on the road that now we’re walking through a town we don’t know looking for a bank.”
Eventually, the couple found a bus to continue their journey, but only after they had already missed two.
Kelly was visibly exhausted after spending the night in a bus station, admitting: ‘It’s 11.19 and we’ve missed two buses, so we’re going to try and catch the 1pm bus. But we have to get there now because I’m, quite frankly, knackered.’
“We’re literally exhausted. Jeremy and I never fight. And I mean never. And we’re really being tested here.”
Kelly and her husband Jeremy will compete against three other celebrities: TV presenter Jeff Brazier and his youngest son Freddie, radio star Scott Mills and his current husband Sam Vaughn, and actor Kola Bokinni and his niece Mary Ellen.
The duo’s journey began at the gateway to the Amazon in Belém, northern Brazil. The pairs had to pass through five checkpoints before reaching the finish line in southern Chile.
She said, “We’re literally exhausted. Jeremy and I never fight. And I mean never. And we’re really being tested in this area.”
In the second episode of the new series, Kelly and Jeremy were the third couple to pass through the second checkpoint
In the second episode of the new series, Kelly and Jeremy were the third couple to pass the second checkpoint.
“Wow, we’re really behind,” Kelly gasped. “Where did we go wrong? Where did we go wrong?!”
Although Jeremy suggested it was because Kelly had chosen to travel along the coastal road, she admitted: ‘I think I get the blame for that because I wanted to take the coastal road and inland was actually the most direct route.’
The star recently called the trip a “honeymoon from hell” as she reflected on the challenge in an interview.
After Kelly mistakenly thought the grueling 7,800-mile trek across South America would be an alternative honeymoon, she told Closer magazine: “We’d never had a honeymoon before and I told Jeremy we should see this as a fun alternative, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
‘Sometimes it was the honeymoon from hell – sometimes it was absolutely glorious. It has to be the most memorable honeymoon ever!’
Celebrity Race Across The World continues on Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.
