Millionaire GK Barry DOUBLES her earnings as her fortune is revealed after becoming breakout star of I’m A Celebrity
GK Barry has DOUBLED her earnings after her hugely successful stint on I’m A Celebrity.
The popular YouTuber and podcast host, 25, became a breakout star on the ITV jungle show last year.
GK, whose real name is Grace Eleanor Keeling, made a pretty penny last year, with her assets going from £485k to over £1.2m.
Her bank balance has increased by over £712k from 2023, leaving her company with a whopping £1.1m in 2024.
GK rose to fame in 2020, when she started posting funny videos on TikTok, surpassing a million followers just a year later.
Popular with Gen Z, GK launched her podcast Saving Grace in 2022, and then made history as the youngest ever Loose Women panellist earlier this year.
She won over a new legion of fans with her I’m A Celeb appearance and her sweet friendship with Rev Richard Coles.
And now she’s set to become a multi-millionaire after the show, thanks to her witty one-liners and down-to-earth nature.
“I’m A Celebrity is going to be fantastic for GK,” brand and culture expert Nick Ede told The Sun.
“I think she could earn up to £5 million in the next couple of years.
“She’s going to be a big earner!”
Nick said GK will be flooded with new opportunities and even TV documentary work.
He said: “She’s very down-to-earth. She’s getting on with everybody, she’s doing what she can.
“She also talks about her pasty skin and her lanky looks, which is really refreshing, and the conversations that she’s having with people like Tulisa and Coleen Rooney are really great.
“She asks questions, which is something that a lot of celebrities don’t do, and she definitely does.
“This show is going to be fantastic for her. She’s obviously got the backing of Loose Women and she’s a bit of a breath of fresh air, so I think that’s quite interesting
“I think this is opening her up to a much bigger audience than she gets on the podcast, and even on Loose Women.”
Nick thinks she’ll continue doing this, following in the footsteps of Stacey Dooley, Olivia Attwood and Zara McDermott – rather than go down the fashion brand route.
He said: “I don’t see her doing big fashion brands or those kinds of collaborations. I feel that she’s probably going to go more down the documentary route, especially because of the podcast as well, which is about people and human interest.
“She’s quite inquisitive, she’s down-to-earth, she’s relatable and I think that could do her well for the future.
“I think she’s got the potential to be a bit of a Stacey Dooley and do that investigative journalist thing, like Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over.
“Obviously, Stacey has now done so well and won Strictly so, I think there’s a real opportunity for her to follow in those footsteps, a bit like Zara McDermott.
“She could even be the next Louis Theroux, who knows?”
