Campmates on I'm A Celebrity have been known in the past to devise unique ways to communicate with their loved ones back home whilst separated from them.

From chest tapping to thumbs on noses, over the years, stars have got quite creative in sending messages home and paying tribute to their supporters. This year, fans have noticed GK Barry's special way of showing support for her partner Ella Rutherford. Instead of a secret signal during live scenes, the Saving Grace podcast host has been honouring footballer Ella with a thoughtful jewellery choice.

An observant TikTok user noticed that the necklace GK, 25, wears in the jungle reads "eyelashes," as reported by OK! magazine. Fans of the content creator will recognise this as a nod to Ella - whom she used to refer to as "eyelashes" before they made their relationship public. One person reacted: "I love this!" Another chimed in: "I needed this." A third added: "I was wondering what it said!"

While GK and Ella have often kept their romance out of the spotlight, the I'm A Celeb campmate has previously shared how their relationship unfolded after meeting online. "I saw her Instagram and I thought hello, I followed her and she followed me. She messaged me and we've never moved out," she revealed on her podcast.

In a gesture before jetting off to the jungle, GK left her partner Ella a life-size cut-out of herself, which may be a comforting presence in her absence. "When you are missing home and all you want is your comfort people, then that will be hard if they are not there," she shared prior to her adventure. "But my girlfriend is also very excited for me and thinks I will do really well," GK continued: "I have got her a cardboard cut out of me so it's not weird when I am away."

GK isn't alone in finding ways to stay connected with loved ones back in the UK. McFly's Danny Jones is said to have also devised a special method. His wife Georgia disclosed on ITV's Lorraine that Danny had "a little signal" for their son Cooper, who eagerly looks for it each night. "Cooper has got a little signal that he watches out for, Danny has done it," Georgia said, adding that Cooper was thoroughly enjoying seeing his dad on TV.
