According to the Sunday Mirror, the model will be replaced by Denise Van Outen, who has been offered a £150,000 contract, for the next series of the reality show.
"Denise is the executives' number one choice," a source revealed. "Now it's just a matter of putting together a deal that's suitable for everyone involved."
Producers were apparently unhappy with Brook's "wooden" performance in the first series, and hope that Van Outen will have better chemistry with co-presenter Patrick Kielty.
"Denise is still young and pretty - but she's seen it all and done it all," the insider added. "She's the perfect foil for Patrick - who proved himself a real wit in the first series."
