GK Barry’s footballer girlfriend speaks out in support of I’m A Celeb star amid rumors she is leaving the show early – Celebrities

GK Barry’s girlfriend spoke out in favor of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star amid rumors that she would end up leaving the show early.

The TikTok sensation really pulled the final straw at the end of the first episode when the public voted for her to take part in the series’ first Bushtucker Trial.

This came after the 25-year-old struggled through the opening trial with souvenir-worthy facial expressions and screams.

Real name Grace Keeling, she ended up doing pretty well in her trial, “Vile Volcano”, shouting some comments at Ant and Dec that will probably be part of the I am a Celebrity Joke Book.

But as her list of fears seems quite long, rumors have swirled that the podcaster will eventually leave the ITV show.

“The idea of ​​a trial, I don’t think I’ll be very good at it, I’m going to be one of those people that screams and cries and vomits slightly,” she admitted in her pre-camp introduction.

“I’m not good with heights, I’m not good with animals, I’m not good with everything this show entails, so I’m really happy to be here.”

And some users wrote on social media that she “wouldn’t last two days” in the jungle, while others bet she would emerge in the first week.

Others even predicted that she might “leave the Gemma Collins style”, to put it simply: GK Barry won’t survive 48 hours at the rate she’s going.

As some began making these claims before she even entered the jungle: “I honestly never thought I’d see GK Barry here, I know she said she would, but it’s crazy that she won’t survive.”

But with many fans still having faith in the star, especially after she earned nine out of 10 stars in last night’s (November 18) trial, his girlfriend has been heaping her support.

Ipswich Town striker Ella Rutherford wrote on Instagram that GK Barry “makes us so proud” by calling watching the show “the best time of the day”.

Celebrating her trial, the footballer wrote: “You consider them queens of the stars. 9/10 She really broke that, no doubt. I am so proud of my little jungle baby.

And while she admitted she “shouldn’t laugh” as the TikTok star struggled, she also said of her girlfriend: “The nation is going to fall in love, just like me.”
