A source said: “GK is hugely popular with the younger generation and is sharp and quick witted which would translate well to chats around the campfire with other celebs.
“Producers think she has great energy and is highly entertaining.
“She has millions of social media followers, which is a top focus of ITV at the moment. Grace is savvy and knows this is a brilliant opportunity to become more of a household name.
She appeared on Loose Women last week and went down a storm, more than holding her own with the other panellists.
“She did have several meetings with Strictly, but ultimately decided it wasn’t the best fit and is keen to pursue her telly career with ITV.”
Speaking last year she hinted that she would love to take part on the reality series, but only if bosses included a single hunk as a campmate to join her.
She said: ‘I want them to put me in there when there’s a muscly man that can hold me in a hammock and until then, I’m not going in. I need a single man, a single strong muscly man.”
Grace has more than 4.5 million followers across her social media channels and hosts a podcast, Saving Grace, which has featured guests including footie’s Ella Toone and TV presenter Rylan Clark.
An ITV spokesman said: “Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here are just speculation.”
GK Barry’s potential appearance on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here has set social media abuzz with excitement. The 24-year-old YouTube sensation, known off-screen as Grace Keeling, has already made a mark with her witty and engaging personality. Viewers are eagerly anticipating her participation in the campfire conversations with other celebrities.
With millions of social media followers, GK Barry is undoubtedly a strong asset for ITV. Her recent appearance on Loose Women was a hit, showcasing her ability to hold her own among seasoned panelists. While she considered an offer from Strictly Come Dancing, Grace ultimately decided to explore opportunities with ITV, recognizing the platform’s potential to elevate her profile as a household name.
In a previous interview, Grace expressed interest in joining a reality series, emphasizing the desire for a dynamic campmate to join her in the adventure.
With her podcast, Saving Grace, boasting notable guests like Ella Toone and Rylan Clark, GK Barry’s appeal extends beyond her online presence.
As rumors swirl about her potential stint on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, ITV remains tight-lipped, dismissing speculations about the show’s upcoming lineup.
Fans eagerly anticipate seeing how Grace navigates the challenges of the jungle, bringing her signature charm and humor to the screen.
