Now TV insiders have shared that she’s refusing to sign on the dotted line for I’m a Celebrity.
GK recently made a triumphant debut as a Loose Women panellist and bosses at ITV are said to have offered her more work on the channel – if she becomes one of this year’s campmates.
A source told The Sun: “ITV are desperate to have GK Barry in the jungle this year but she’s refusing to sign up for the show.
“They think she’ll make great TV and will help the show appeal to an even wider audience.
“They’ve made huge money offers and are trying to sweeten the deal with jobs on other ITV programmes but GK is insisting she won’t do the jungle.”
A rep for GK declined to comment when approached by The Sun.
An ITV spokesperson said: “Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here are just speculation.”
Earlier this year GK revealed she is in a relationship with Charlton Athletic striker Ella Rutherford.
Ella later shared photos of the couple on holiday on social media.
Discussing their romance on her Saving Grace podcast GK said: “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.
“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.”
