TikTok star GK Barry stunned her fans when she accidentally came out as bisexual on a podcast.
The influencer is set to enter the gruelling Australian jungle in ITV's upcoming season of I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! alongside nine other famous faces this weekend. GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has confessed that taking part in the series will be a challenge.
Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "I hate bugs. I hate sleeping outside. I've never done it. And so I think that would be a lot. But I feel like it would also probably be good viewing for other people." GK is in a relationship with footballer Ella Rutherford, who plays for Ipswich Town.
She has frequently mentioned having a girlfriend but had kept her identity under wraps until this August, when Ella confirmed the relationship by posting a birthday message on her Instagram story, captioned: "Happy Birthday babe I love you more and more everyday."
Prior to that GK admitted that she was in a relationship with a woman and would "never go back to men" when she chatted to Young Filly on her podcast. She said: "I feel like I went very wrong with men. I don't like men anymore. I will never go back to a man. God forbid. Yeah, I just love it. I just love it. I feel like I've got spring in my step. I feel like I'm glowing. It's the lesbian glow. I've got it. And yeah, that's my life update."

PA)Before her latest relationship, Grace was in a long-term relationship with TikTok star Billy Hunt who joined her at events and even appeared on her podcast. The former couple met through Gogglebox star Joe Baggs and hit it off. The TV personality admitted that she "launched" herself on the internet personality.
Grace said: "So my version of events. Joe Baggs had a party. [Billy was] the only straight man there, [I] launched myself at him. It's been history ever since." But seven months after filming the podcast episode in early 2023, the couple confirmed they had split up.
Talking directly to the camera, she said: "I just want to start out by addressing the elephant in the room. I am single, and that's it really. I'm not really going to go into why. I know a lot of you want to know why, all the deets, all the gossip, to be honest, I would too.
"I'm not going to lie, but I will not be speaking about the reasons why. I'm just going to leave it as, I'm single, and that's it. I know I put a lot of my relationship in the public eye. My bad, I won't be doing that again!"
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ starts on November 17, on ITV1 and ITVX
