Kelly Brook slated by rivals on talent show

Critics say model will win Strictly Come Dancing because of publicity

Monday, 1 October 2007

Kelly Brook has been slammed by rivals who think Strictly Come Dancing has been fixed.

The model has had huge media coverage and is tipped to win the BBC talent show. But rivals are reportedly furious that Kelly is grabbing the limelight - and say the only reason she was paired with previous champ Brendon Cole was to boost ratings.

‘There’s a strong feeling that Strictly is being turned into the Kelly Show,’ an insider tells the Daily Star.

‘People are calling her Special K behind her back. It’s nothing personal but some people’s egos are getting severely bruised.’

Former EastEnders star Matt Di Angelo – a contestant on the show - says that the Strictly has become all about the curvy star.

‘Every time I open a paper she’s pictured in a skimpy outfit and there’s just a few lines about everyone else,’ he says.

Bookies have already tipped the 27-year-old as hot favourite to win – but BBC bosses are adamant the show is fair.

‘The show is not being fixed in Kelly’s favour,’ a spokesman says.

‘Kelly’s picture has been used by lots of media outlets because she's very photogenic, but that's not our decision.’
