We're on the cusp of an exciting event as this year's I'm A Celebrity is just hours away. Ten famous faces are about to embark on a three-week journey filled with Bushtucker trials, creepy crawlies, and a lot of rice and beans. One of the standout stars is internet sensation GK Barry, whose real name is Grace Eleanor Keeling. She has a popular podcast and a massive following on social media.

On Her Saving Grace Podcast

Grace regularly has celebrity guests on her podcast to share their lives and experiences. In an episode with previous I'm A Celebrity finalist Ferne McCann a year ago, Grace admitted that she couldn't do it. Speaking specifically about the trials, she said, "If I got put in a coffin with a few rats and cockroaches, I would pass away. My body would be like, 'nah, you're alright, just leave me here, bury me alive and be done with it.' There's no way." She also admitted that she would struggle with not eating as the campmates mainly have rice and beans each day. "When I'm hungry, I become a horrible person. I'd be arguing with everyone in there just from hunger."

Her Podcast's Popularity

Over the years, Grace has had some huge stars on her podcast, including Alison Hammond, Alan Carr, Coleen Nolan, and Katie Price. Her podcast currently has 490 thousand subscribers, and she boasts 877 thousand followers on Instagram and an astonishing 3.6 million followers on TikTok. This shows the wide reach and influence of her podcast.

Joining the Jungle

Grace joined Loose Women earlier this year as the youngest panellist and has also appeared in Don't Look Down for Stand Up To Cancer on Channel 4. She will be joined in the Australian jungle by a diverse group of famous faces. McFly's Danny Jones, Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse, Coleen Rooney, and radio host Melvin Odoom are among them. N-Dubz singer Tulisa, Coronation Street's Alan Halsall, Loose Women's Jane Moore, Radio 1 star Dean McCullough, and boxing promoter Barry McGuigan are also heading to Australia. Love Island's Maura Higgins and Rev Richard Coles are expected to be late entrants, making the total number of campmates 12.I'm A Celebrity kicks off tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
