GK Barry immediately made a swipe at a campmate as she and Alan Halsall returned to the I'm a Celebrity hotel after last night's shock double eviction.
The 25-year-old social media star, whose real name is Grace, was welcomed by her mum as she exited the car on arrival to the airport. She looked emotional as her mum Loretta showed her a personalised t-shirt with a photo of her daughter on it, and the pair had a brief exchange before she entered the hotel, an exclusive behind-the-scenes Mirror video shows.
GK then entered the hotel and was cheered on by campmates who were previously eliminated, with radio presenter Dean McCullough and former Love Island star Maura Huggins running towards her to give her a hug. She then went on to greet and hug Loose Women presenter Jane Moore, former professional boxer Barry McGuigan, and then radio DJ and host Melvin Odoom.
The exclusive clip shows GK speaking to all those gathered in the lobby of the hotel before apparently making a swipe at singer Danny Jones. As she hugged Jane, 62, again, GK said: "So nice to see you again. Guess what I did yesterday? The washing up."
Amid claps and laughs, Jane replied: "It's the best job in the camp." Grace then appeared to joke: "Jane loves it." The comment seemed to be a swipe at Danny, who, alongside Barry, was accused by Jane of being ageist and sexist for assigning washing up duties to her.
On November 25, Barry and McFly star Danny were named camp leaders following a public vote, meaning they got to sleep in the luxury lodge. As part of their new roles, the pair had to delegate duties to their fellow campmates - but Jane was not pleased with their allocation.
The pair handed Jane and Tulisa Contostavlos washing up duty, camp maintenance to Coleen Rooney and Maura Higgins, and wood collection to GK Barry and Alan Halsall. Meanwhile, Melvin Odoom and Dean McCullough were assigned water duty, while Oti Mabuse and Reverend Richard Coles were tasked with cooking.
However, an annoyed Jane quickly accused the camp leaders of sexism, saying, "Oh what? Is that because we’re women?" In response, Barry explained that he gave her the easier task because she is 62, which led Jane to accuse him of being ageist.
She complained that her only request was that she wasn't on cleaning duties, telling Danny: "Those were my last words as you walked past me, 'please not cleaning', and you've given me cleaning."
She continued: "I'm not upset, I'm just saying it's women doing the washing up again," and later expressed: "It seems much like the 1950s." While the ITV star insisted that she was just "winding him up", many viewers were not convinced.
In a separate video taken by The Mirror after last night's eviction, Coronation Street actor Alan, 42, can also be seen returning to the hotel amid cheers and claps from fellow campmates and their family members. He was also hugged by Dean, Maura, Jane and Barry who were waiting for him in the lobby of the hotel.
In her exit interview with Ant and Dec, GK claimed her time on the show "was hell" and worse than she could have imagined. She made it clear she would never be back, discussing the hunger and the boredom, as well as missing her loved ones. But as Ant and Dec asked her who she wanted to win the show, they got more than they bargained for. Loose Women star GK quipped that Reverend Richard Coles should win the show, after their new found friendship won over fans.
She then declared the star "has got to win", suggesting otherwise "it's a fix". Ant immediately shouted out as Dec didn't know how to react as the trio laughed. Ant screamed out: "No... how would it be a fix? People vote," as he pointed to the cameras. The conversation moved on with GK suggesting she would be happy for Coleen Rooney to win.
