Gearing up for her appearance in the I'm A Celebrity jungle, GK Barry made a bold admission ahead of her appearance as she listed all the lies she told her girlfriend in the first week of dating. Grace Keeling, 25, show to fame on TikTok and is now the host of Saving Grace with millions of listeners tuning in weekly.
She hit headlines earlier this year after hinting she had entered into a new relationship with a woman who turned out to be England footballer Ella Rutherford, 24. Grace's stint in the jungle is set to be the longest amount of time the pair have spent apart.
We're all guilty of telling a little white lie in our time, but Grace revealed she told her striker girlfriend a series of lies at the start of their relationship. Discussing it on her podcast last week, she said: "You know when you first start talking, I was like 'mess makes me angry and I'm quite a shy person, I'm not really an angry person'.

The couple have been dating for months but kept their relationship under wraps in the beginning. But in summer 2024, things started gearing up a notch as they took their relationship to the next level.
A source told The Sun: "GK has been seeing Ella for a while but they are very much official now. They grew even closer on holiday in Benidorm and GK has met all her family. She's really happy and they are having so much fun together."
Ella previously shared photos on social media of the pair enjoying some quality time together on holiday. In one photo, GK was spotted with Ella while sporting a pink t-shirt with a cryptic graphic. It read: "I love my girlfriend," with a red love heart.
Grace will join the likes of Strictly's Oti Mabuse, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, Loose Women co-star Jane Moore, Coleen Rooney and Barry McGuigan, among others, in the upcoming series of the reality show, and was snapped landing in Australia ahead of the show's launch on Sunday (November 17). Before finding love with Ella, GK was previously in a relationship with a TikTok star Billy Hunt, who she met through former Gogglebox star Joe Baggs.
Their relationship came to an end towards the end of 2023, with some eagle-eyed fans claiming he cheated on her after she discussed infidelity on her podcast, though this has never been confirmed. Grace pulled out all the stops in her goodbye gift to girlfriend Ella, writing her a sweet note and sending her a bouquet of red roses.
The note read: "I miss you my little pea head angel. I love you."
