Despite GK Barry being afraid of the critters in the jungle, she’s not scared of awkward encounters when it comes to celebrity feuds.

GK Barry, whose real name is Grace Keeling, shot to fame on TikTok, and her success led her to starting the Saving HGrace podcast and joining the Loose Women panel as the youngest on the show.

However, she’s managed to ruffle a few feathers on her journey to fame, including upsetting fellow Loose Women co-star Frankie Bridge and nearly being sued by Love Islander Ekin-Su over a podcast episode. Here, we take a look at some of the campmate’s most controversial moments and feuds…

The 25-year-old revealed that Love Island star Ekin-Su had threatened to sue her over a podcast chat, and while it’s not clear what exactly was said, GK said Ekin-Su was ‘furious’ after her comments on the Saving Grace podcast. In a chat with KISS FM presenter Harriet Rose, Grace was asked: “In an interview with Cosmopolitan, you said that someone once threatened to sue you for talking about them on Saving Grace. Who was it?”

Grace replied: “F**k, oh it was Ekin-Su. She was like, ‘Yeah, if you don’t take this down, we’ll sue you.’ I didn’t take it down but she didn’t sue me, though.” Harried then said: “I’ve got to say that is the one question I genuinely did not think you would answer.”

It’s not just Eki-Su’s wrath Grace has been under, she also upset fellow Loose Women panellist Frankie Bridges. The pair clashed live on show when The Saturdays singer Frankie accused Grace of giving her a ‘backhanded compliment’. The pair were on the show joined by Denise Welch and Kaye Adams and were discussing career changes and how GK got into social media.

Speaking about her career, GK said: “I just fell into it. Do you know what though, I always wanted to be one of The Saturdays. When I grew up I got no GCSEs because I was like, ‘I’ll just be Frankie'”. However, the comment didn’t land well with Frankie, who pulled a disgruntled expression and said: “That felt like a backhanded compliment!”

Their fellow co-stars then joked about Frankie not being the youngest panellist anymore, and in another awkward moment, Frankie joked about being ‘fuming’ that she wasn’t the ‘baby’ of the show since GK’s arrival. GK said: “I know there is a feud now and I was so excited to meet Frankie but now there is a feud!” Frankie replied back: “I don’t like you yet, go away!

GK also had issues with Wayne Lineker after she was left shocked by his hospitality treatment while on holiday in Ibiza. Wayne, the younger brother of Gary Lineker, had invited GK Barry to his star-studded O Beach club, but then shunned the star after he promised to ‘look after’ her.

She went to her podcast to share the ordeal and said: “I went to his restaurant, and he went, ‘I’ll give you a discount if you come back’. So I thought, Ibiza is well expensive, so I went there. He was with this girl and her mum, and I was like, I’ll just say hello, and I went to say hello and the mum went, ‘Not while we’re eating!’ I thought, the cheek! He went, ‘hello’. I thought, Yeah, hello. Anyway, hope you choke b***h,” she admitted.

GK Barry was also at the centre of a social media storm after she chatted with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue on her Saving Grace podcast.

GK had shared an episode of her podcast where she interviews Bonnie, who become notorious for posting adult content as she recently claimed that she had slept with 100 men in a day. The video soon went viral and criticism was strong against GK who questioned her choice of guest. Many slammed the social media host for interviewing Bonnie as they felt the subject is “harmful” to her fans which include young girls. Fans also felt that Bonnie glorifies the acts.

GK Barry then removed all traces of her interview with the OnlyFans star after all the backlash from fans.
