Kelly Brook has made a shocking confession about her past relationship with actor Jason Statham, revealing that she once tried to punch him after catching him flirting with a “sexy, sexy” Hollywood star.

The 45-year-old model and presenter dated the Fast & Furious actor, 58, from 1998 to 2004, and the pair were even engaged before their split. During an appearance on the How To Fail podcast, Kelly opened up about their turbulent romance and why she eventually “fell out of love” with the action star.

Kelly recalled a moment from Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s wedding, where Jason allegedly flirted with actress Gwyneth Paltrow. “Jason started to swing his hips and said, ‘Gywnnie, Gwynnie, Gwynnie. Sexy, sexy, sexy!’” Kelly recounted. “He turned round, only to be met with my fist in his face.”

Reflecting on their relationship, Kelly said she sacrificed her own career for Statham’s Hollywood ambitions. “I quit my job and moved to America to support him,” she explained. “But while his career took off, mine floundered. I felt neglected, and eventually, I fell out of love because he wasn’t there for me the way I was for him.”

Now happily married to French model Jeremy Parisi, Kelly said she’s learned to prioritize herself. “After years of being a people pleaser, I’ve become a bit selfish — and I’m okay with that,” she added.

Brook is currently preparing for her upcoming stint on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, where she hopes to overcome her fears of snakes, spiders, and heights.
