They have only been out of the jungle for a matter of weeks but GK Barry has already staged a reunion with some of her I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here campmates.
The podcaster, 25, made her return to the stage as her tour got under way. And in the audience were two of her star pals from Down Under. On Sunday, GK – whose real name is Grace Keeling – put on a dazzling display as she donned a chandelier-shaped dress with a silver sparkled trim. And as she enjoyed filming for her Christmas special at Wembley Arena, she was joined by Dean McCullough and Maura Higgins.
The duo were among the special guests for The Saving Grace XXX-mas Special. Grace had shared the news on her Saving Grace podcast’s Instagram account, but the announcement was met with a mixed response.

In the comments section, one user blasted: “Oh we don’t need dean man,” while another added: “Not Dean. I can’t listen to another minute of him.” A third said: “Love Maura, Dean not so much.”
However, some were pleased with the announcement, with one user gushing: “Omg yes my three queens coming back together.” Another happy fan said: “Going to be fantastic,” alongside a love heart emoji.
Dean also shared his excitement, penning in the comments: “Besties back together,” alongside an emoji face with love heart eyes and a red heart emoji. He also shared the announcement on his own Instagram Stories.
Grace shared snaps from the event on her platform, revealing former Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing also made an appearance on the lavish stage. Other guests included Bimini, while Maura and Dean enjoyed a sing-song of a Celine Dion banger with their new pal.
Dean was joined the morning after by Maura as the pair spoke on Radio 1’s breakfast show. Dean joked that while Maura had opted to go for a glamorous appearance for her radio stint, he was “still wearing last night’s pants” after they had joined GK on stage.
The trio didn’t make it to the final of the I’m A Celebrity series this year, but gave the viewers plenty of memorable moments. Danny Jones was later crowned this year’s winner. All the campmates – minus Tulisa – were spotted reuniting on the final show last Friday.
In it, fans watched as Dean pulled Melvin about dubbing him Houdini. Dean wasn’t amused by his new nickname after Melvin had called him out in camp regarding his apparent lack of interest in helping out with tasks. As Melvin was seen trying to give his reasons for the jibe, Dean appeared stoney faces. The duo had been teamed up to collect water for the camp during their time on the ITV show, but Dean wasn’t happy with the role and appeared to shirk responsibility at times.
