Living in the jungle alongside McFly's Danny Jones, Coleen Rooney, Oti Mabuse and Melvin Odoom, GK Barry was the first star to face a Bushtucker Trial. Taking back nine stars to the camp and giving everyone a big portion, GK Barry has seemingly become a favourite among viewers at home and campmates. She has wowed on I'm A Celebrity and many ITV viewers were surprised to discover the star has a famous girlfriend.
GK Barry is dating professional footballer Ella Rutherford with the pair often sharing photos of each other on Instagram. Ella has even appeared on GK Barry's podcast Saving Grace, as the pair shared details of their first date. As Ella said: "I thought, life's turned around here.
My mum kept saying to me – funny story – I hadn't cracked a smile in two weeks, so I'd just come out of surgery and mum caught me smiling at my phone, which is quite embarrassing for me. "She – and everyone in the house, actually – were after me, and doing everything to try to make me happy, feeding me and playing with my hair. Nothing was working and then all of a sudden you came along.
" Ella and GK Barry are often showing support for each other, with the footballer posting a picture of the two when the podcaster entered the jungle, writing: "My little jungle babe.".
