I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! enthusiasts are concerned that newcomer GK Barry might be in for a rough ride after her emotional appearance on the show's opening night. The 25-year-old YouTuber was reduced to tears during the star-studded launch on Sunday when hosts Declan Donnelly and Ant McPartlin revealed that she would face a daunting Bushtucker Trial.
With her head buried in her hands, Grace Keeling, better known as GK, exclaimed: "I'm going to die" following the announcement of the first public vote results. Jane Moore from Loose Women comforted her with a hug, encouraging her: "You can do this. Just focus. Focus."
Despite the support, GK was visibly distressed at the prospect of the Vile Volcano challenge, confessing: "I don't know why I'm crying."
The 'Saving Grace' creator, who some fans now speculate may exit the series early due to her tearful introduction, annoyed viewers with her shrill screams while searching for a key among cockroaches in the initial Hell Hole task. Dec revealed that it was at this point that the British public decided GK should undertake the trial, as he mentioned on ITV2's companion programme I'm A Celebrity... Unpacked, reports the Mirror.
Ant anticipated that they would need to console GK with hugs and wipe away her tears during the ordeal. The presenting pair concluded their Unpacked segment to prepare for meeting GK at the Vile Volcano, promising an entertaining trial ahead.
After GK Barry's breakdown on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, viewers took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to share their predictions. One said: "You just know she's going to be on your screen screaming every night because people will keep voting her to do the trials."
While another commented: "She might scream and cry every 5 minutes, but GK Barry is going to be giving us top tier TV every night."
Some fans are now convinced that GK Barry may decide to leave I'm A Celebrity following her emotional first appearance. Her response to the bugs during the Hell Hole challenge with Jane has led many to believe that her time in the jungle will be short-lived.
One viewer remarked: "GK Barry won't survive 48 hours at the rate she's going."
While others said: "Either GK Barry or Colleen will walk out week one trust me," and "GK Barry isn't gonna last two days."
However, there are some who are staying optemistic, saying: "One episode in and GK Barry is already my winner."
Other comments included "GK Barry is tooo funny," and "GK Barry is my favourite already! Hilarious! "
