GK Barry has ruled out a steamy shower scene during her stint on I'm A Celebrity.
Podcast host GK Barry, whose real name is Grace Keeling, 25, said that she is excited to get stuck into life in camp ahead of the new ITV series. The cast of famous faces have already made their way into the I'm A Celebrity camp, and viewers will get their first taste of the drama when the show kicks off on Sunday (November 17).
Grace said that she is looking forward to picking the brains of her fellow campmates as they have nowhere to go and nothing to do except share stories. However, one thing she did rule out was a sexy shower scene, like that of former campmate Myleene Klass.

"The thing is, I don't think anyone should see me in a shower for their own mental health," she joked. "I don't think I'm gonna have that shower scene, so I'll happily pass that on to someone else also."
The star, while popular on the Internet for her bold opinions, is not particularly known on mainstream media. However, she did admit that she is hoping to make a good first impression with the public on her first television gig.
"I'm so aware that I'm going to go in there and no one's really going to know who I am, I'm so aware of that," she confessed. "So I do need to make a good first impression, but I'm always that person that makes friends with, like older people.
"If I'm in a room with someone, I'm going to go to the mums - so I feel like, hopefully they see that from me and end up liking me," Grace added. "And if they don't, I'll just book an early flight home. That's absolutely fine."
Giving a taste of her preparations, GK said that she is doing little to get herself ready for jungle life, adding that she is only restricting her diet in order to prepare for days of low food. She joked that she was "eating like she is on Death Row" in order to avoid the pain of hunger that may come on the show.
She also said that she has no plans in thinking of winning the show, adding she "doesn't think that's going to happen". When asked why, she admitted that the feeling of her going on the show still has not sunk in.
"I've been very in denial that I've been going on this show for a while," Grace said. "It's only since I arrived yesterday that I was like, 'Oh s**t, actually, I'm going in'.
Grace added: "So I'm just taking it every day as it comes, hoping, you know, with the rice and beans diet, I come out looking like Kate Moss, and that's all I can ask, really." The Internet personality will be joined in the show alongside the likes of Coleen Rooney, Jane Moore and Danny Jones, with Coleen securing the highest ever appearance fee in the history of the show.
I'm A Celebrity kicks off on Sunday, November 17 at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
