.. Get Me Out Of Here! debuted its latest series, and viewers couldn't stop talking about TikTok and Podcast sensation GK Barry during her nail-biting trial! The fresh-faced 25 year old influencer, known in real-world circles as Grace Keeling, found herself tasked with enduring the horrors of the 'Vile Volcano' in the very first voted challenge following Sunday's premiere.
Rallying support from her new campmates, GK stepped up to the plate where cheeky hosts Ant & Dec laid out the terrifying task ahead - navigate through shadowy caves and tunnels to snatch up stars in exchange for camp meals. With ten minutes to overcome not only the darkness but also a host-variety of slithery snakes, monstrous spiders, scurrying rats, and more, GK kicked off the antics amid Ant & Dec's cries of encouragement: "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." However, once inside, the Saving Grace podcast star was so overwhelmed by the critter-infested challenge that she let loose a torrent of screams and curses, leaving the show's beloved presenters saying: "We're going to need to bleep a lot of this!", reports the Mirror .
While embarking on a terrifying task, a monstrous spider decided to make itself at home on GK's helmet, leaving even presenters Ant and Dec gasping in disbelief. After the courageous effort, GK returned to her fellow contestants with a stellar 9 out of 10 stars — ensuring a feast for the camp that evening. They welcomed her back with enthusiastic chants of "GK! GK! GK! " The scene captured viewers' hearts, especially when GK quipped about being a paler version of the iconic action heroine, triggering a flood of tweets.
A fan echoed her words: "'I'm like Lara Croft but paler' I love GK honestly #imaceleb." Another chimed in with praise: "Lara Croft, but paler..
. Grace is box office. #ImACeleb.
" While someone else simply tweeted their amusement: "IM WHEEZING". However, viewers were unimpfressed as the trial went on, by the endless screaming from GK. One wrote: "Christ, can’t be dealing with this screaming all the while #ImACeleb.
" And another wrote: "Guys I think grace is disassociating #ImACeleb." One previous contestant has spoken out about GK's screaming in camp saying that she's actually 'struggling. Nicola McLean who appeared in the 2008 show told the Mirror : "It's terrifying [in the camp] and I think you can really see that see Grace was actually struggling.
I think that sometimes people are acting and people have got very clever to this game so are like, 'alright, if I do loads of screaming then I'll keep on getting voted for trials' which obviously means more air time, but I think you can genuinely see she was terrified.".
