GK Barry is in talks to appear in I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

The YouTuber, whose real name is Grace Keeling, is reportedly in “advanced” talks with producers about flying to Australia later this year to take part in the tough jungle reality show. Programme bosses are keen to get the 24-year-old influencer on board as she appeals to a younger audience.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “GK is immensely popular with the younger generation and is sharp and quick-witted, which would translate well to campfire chats with other celebs.

“The producers say she has a lot of energy and is highly entertaining.

“She has millions of followers on social media, which is a top focus for ITV at the moment.”

GK, who made her debut on Loose Women last week, had previously negotiated to take part in Strictly Come Dancing but ultimately felt it was not the right career move for her.

The insider added: “Grace is smart and knows this is a great opportunity to make an even bigger name for herself.”

“She had several meetings with Strictly but ultimately decided it wasn’t the best for her and would like to continue her television career with ITV.”

The host of the podcast “Saving Grace” admitted last year that she would like to take part in “I’m a Celebrity…” – but only if there was an attractive single man among the campmates.

She joked: “I want them to put me in there when there’s a muscular man who can hold me in a hammock, and until then I’m not going in. I need one man, one strong muscular man.”

A spokesperson for the show refused to confirm the news.

They simply said: “All names suggested for ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ are pure speculation.”
