GK Barry could be about to star in her own reality show, according to a PR expert.
The 25-year-old star - who is currently dating footballer Ella Rutherford - found fame on TikTok and has gone on to be a full-time panellist on 'Loose Women' but as cameras follow her as one of the 12 campmates on this year's edition of 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!', Dermot McNamara, founder of talent agency Candid, has predicated that she could land her own series.
He told OK! Magazine: "She’s savvy when it comes to business – her podcast really took off during lockdown and she’s already had some great interviews. This appearance on such a high-profile show gives her the chance to be known beyond just her own core audience. GK knows she needs to maintain relevance, and diversify into different areas
''Loose Women' was a great starting point for her to expand into the world of TV and it’s likely ITV is viewing her as their 'next big star'. A spin-off show with her girlfriend Ella could be on the horizon – like a fly-on-the-wall reality series. Commercial deals, which GK already does, could come in thick and fast, too. "She’s already commercially friendly and viable – she’s worked with Pretty Little Thing, is the face of Wagamama and has a jewellery line. It’s likely she’ll have her pick of anything.'"
GK- whose real name is Grace Eleanor Keeling - recently noted that before heading Down Under for the ITV1 survival series that she knew she needed to make a "good first impression" with viewers as she tried to impress an older audience.
She said: " I need to make a good first impression, but I’m always that person who makes friends with older people. If I’m in a room with someone, I’m going to go to the mums. So I feel like, hopefully they see that from me and end up liking me. And if they don’t, I’ll just book an early flight home. That’s absolutely fine."
