GK Barry is in advanced talks to travel Down Under to appear on ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’.

This comes after the 24-year-old popular YouTube sensation, real name Grace Keeling, was originally courted by Strictly Come Dancing earlier this year but turned it down.

A source revealed, “GK is immensely popular with the younger generation and has a sharp and quick-witted manner, which lends itself well to campfire conversations with other celebs.

“The producers think she has great energy and is highly entertaining.

“She has millions of followers on social media, which is a top focus of ITV at the moment. Grace is clever and knows this is a great opportunity to make a name for herself.

She appeared on Loose Women last week and was a huge hit, more than holding her own against the other panellists.

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

Last year, she hinted that she would love to take part in the reality series, but only if the bosses would give her a good-looking single man as a campmate.

She said, “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 a single man, a single strong muscular man.”

Grace has over 4.5 million followers on her social media channels and hosts the podcast “Saving Grace,” which has featured guests including footballer Ella Toone and television presenter Rylan Clark.

An ITV spokesman said: “All names suggested for I’m A celebrity “Get Me Out Of Here” is pure speculation.”
