The 24-year-old social media sensation is reportedly in advanced talks to take part in the upcoming season of “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.”

This follows her apparent decision to turn down an offer from Strictly Come Dancing earlier this year after rumours of her participation emerged.

According to an insider, producers are keen to get Grace on board as they believe she is the perfect fit for the show’s campfire conversations and jungle trials.

“GK is extremely popular with the younger generation,” the source told The Sun.

“She is sharp, quick-witted and has the kind of energy that ITV bosses love.

“With millions of followers online, Grace is exactly the kind of personality ITV is looking for.”

Last year, Grace hinted that she would only be on the show if she had a certain type of campmate.

“I want them to put me in there even though there’s a muscular man who can hold me in a hammock,” she joked.

Grace Eleanor Keeling, known in the digital world as GK Barry, has carved a niche for herself as an English internet personality, social media influencer and presenter.

Grace’s digital influence expanded with the launch of her podcast, Saving Grace, in April 2022. The podcast, which features interviews with various celebrities, showcased her versatility and deepened her connection with her audience.

When asked about the possible cast, an ITV spokesperson said: “All names suggested for ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ are pure speculation.”
