Kelly Brook has claimed her husband Jeremy Parisi was once an extra on EastEnders.

While the French hunk, 39, is best known for his modelling career, his early days apparently saw him rubbing shoulders with the residents of Walford as he attempted to learn the English language.

During an Instagram live on Thursday night while watching the live special of EastEnders, Kelly, 45, filmed her husband as she asked him to make the confession about his soap past.

As Jeremy dried dishes, Kelly asked: ‘So Jeremy, when you came to the UK and you were learning English, what did you do?’

Nodding at the TV, Jeremy shared: ‘I did one day filming in EastEnders.’

To which his excited wife replied: He did! He was an extra in EastEnders!’

Turning the camera to the TV which showed the emotional Martin Fowler death scenes, she said: ‘We are fully invested. Enderrrrs!’

Captioning her video, Kelly wrote: ‘I sent him to Albert Square to learn the real language’, alongside crying with laughter emojis.

While Kelly and Jeremy’s claims may be perfectly true, there appears to be no indication of his short-lived EastEnders stint on his IMDB.

However, it does show that Jeremy has dabbled in acting in the past, with appearances on a number of French TV shows including Love In Paris, Nos Chers Voisons and Versailles. 

It comes after Kelly and Jeremy revealed they want to become TV’s new power couple and believe their constant bickering makes them more ‘relatable.’

The model and presenter criticised duos who force their on-screen relationship and ‘portray an unrealistic dynamic’ to audiences.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline in November, the former actress insists she and Frenchman Jeremy, who she married in 2022, aren’t trying to be ‘perfect’, which sets them apart from existing TV partnerships.

After competing on BBC show Celebrity Race Across the World, Kelly says viewers were given an introduction to Jeremy, who spoke no English when he first moved to the UK.

Now, they’re starring in La Vita Italiana, a three-part mini-series filmed for ITV’s This Morning, which sees Kelly adapt to life at Jeremy’s family home and farm in Arpino.

And Kelly hopes the show will be commissioned for a bigger project as the couple sets their sights on a semipermanent move to rural Italy.

She said: ‘We’re just a normal couple. We’re not trying to be the perfect couple like a lot of TV duos try and portray an unrealistic dynamic.

‘But with us, we argue, and we get on and we love each other, we’re normal and relatable because we’re just like any other couple. It seems that during Race Across the World that’s how people saw us. It’s just who we are.’

Kelly fell for Jeremy after she reached out to him directly on Instagram and the pair connected over their mutual love of martial arts and fitness training.

During the early days of their romance, Jeremy spoke very little English, with French and Italian being his primary languages.

The radio host took on the role of translator and admits she can still speak on Jeremy’s behalf even now he’s fluent in English.

She said: ‘I know people think I talk over Jeremy all the time. That’s because I talk too much and when Jeremy first moved to the UK, he didn’t speak any English, so I became so used to talking for him and I’ve just not got out the habit of it.’
