TikTok sensation and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star GK Barry is one of the tricksters let loose on the public in new ITV show Celebrity Sabotage.
Barry, 26, joins Sam Thompson, Judi Love and Joel Dommett on the show. They are tasked with working together to make members of the public believe they’re on a new business show, pranking them throughout.
The first fake show “The Applicant” will be hosted by Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies, while comedian Jo Brand will be part of the fun from Mission HQ.
It’s the latest ITV show GK, real name Grace Keeling, is doing. She became the first ever panellist on Loose Women to be born in the same year as when the programme began – 1999 – when she joined in 2024.
What is GK Barry famous for?
Keeling is really big on TikTok, first rising to fame during the Covid-19 pandemic.
She originally used the pseudonym GK Barry due to not wanting to be wholly in the public eye.
By August 2020, only five months after starting her TikTok account, she had over 100,000 followers.
Barry now has over 4.1million followers.
She also hosts a podcast calling Saving Grace, where she talks about her life, internet culture, and interviews other celebrities and internet personalities.
Barry has also appeared on Love Island: Aftersun to discuss the 9th series with current Love Island presenter Maya Jama and on episodes of The Wheel and The Weakest Link.
Does GK Barry have a girlfriend?
Barry revealed on her podcast back in May 2024 that she was dating a female footballer, but did not reveal who it was.
“I’m not gonna say who it is, but I’m gonna give her a nickname called eyelashes. So whenever I refer to eyelashes, I am talking about the love of my life,” she said.
“I’m in love. And yeah, it has been three weeks, but that’s fine. That’s absolutely fine. She came to me like a dream, and I was obsessed. I feel like I’ve been missing out. 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,” Barry added.
Of course, internet detectives soon figured it out – GK Barry’s girlfriend is Ella Rutherford.
Since going public, they regularly appear in social media posts together, including funny skits on TikTok.
Keeling has also been seen supporting Rutherford at her football matches.
