Among the contestants are TV and radio personality Kelly Brook and her husband, Jeremy Parisi.
The couple, who married in 2022 after an eight-year relationship, described the experience as something “this special” that they hadn’t encountered before.
Kelly Brook, a model and actress known for her roles in Survival Island, Fishtales, Celebrity Juice, and Britain’s Got Talent, will be competing alongside Jeremy Parisi, a judo champion and model.
In an interview with Radio Times, Kelly revealed that the idea to join the show came from her agent.

“Jeremy and I binge-watched every series over a weekend,” she said. “I didn’t think I could sit on a train for eight hours without my phone! But we had just got married and hadn’t had a honeymoon, so the timing was right for us to do something together, completely out of our comfort zone.”
Kelly and Jeremy were eager to participate in the show as they were “looking for a new adventure to go on together.” Kelly shared her excitement about the unpredictability of the experience: “To go to the airport, be given a plane ticket, and just go—that is like a dream.”
Jeremy Parisi agreed, stating, “You don’t have this kind of experience every day. So, I think this was the right moment to do it.”
