- Jack Osbourne, whose father, the legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne, recently passed away. He cites his mother Sharon and sister Kelly as supportive figures in his decision to join the show for emotional reasons.
Personal Insights from the Participants
In a candid interview, Jack Osbourne shared his feelings about leaving behind his family for the show: “It’s absolutely going to be hard leaving them behind. I have got lots of kids, my wife, and my family still in the wake of my dad passing. It is going to be difficult, that is for sure.”
Alex Scott also opened up about her decision-making process: “Jess thinks I am absolutely mental, but she will be my biggest supporter, and my mum absolutely loves the show.
Thinking of her tuning in every night will bring a tear, but I will need to push myself to speak out around all of the different and big personalities.”
Kelly Brook, who has promised multiple times not to participate, admits: “Since I have been with my husband, we have done a few things that I’ve surprised myself by. We did Race Across The World and I ran the London marathon this year – two things I never thought I had in me. I’m such a fan of the show that I thought: ‘Maybe I could do it, maybe I could cope.’ I won’t know unless I try and so I am going to throw myself into it.”
