The 25 year old - whose real name is Grace Keeling - shot to fame during the first UK lockdown in 2020 after her hilarious TikTok videos went viral. She's gone on to have a successful career - hosting her own podcast, joining the Loose Women panel and now appearing in the jungle. Viewers have grown to love her quick wit and sense of humour on the ITV show, and she's just as unfiltered on her Saving Grace podcast.
Back in February, while chatting to comedian Rob Beckett, GK appeared to mock Steven's podcast, The Diary of a CEO. She asked Rob, 38, whether he would ever go on it, to which he replied: “No it’s a little bit much isn’t it?”, GK agreed, going on to call the podcast "so intense". Rob then added: “You go into a room with a bloke and cry about your life.
I feel like he’s drugging them.” The pair burst into laughter as GK said: “I agree, he’s got lavender spray to make them more relaxed. But it’s so funny because you’ll make a self-deprecating joke and he’ll be like ‘no we’re not doing that, what’s actually on your mind?’” Steven, 32, began his hit podcast in 2017 and guests have included Simon Cowell , Piers Morgan , Molly-Mae Hague and Rochelle Humes .
He joined the Dragons' Den line-up in 2021, making him the youngest ever Dragon at the age of 28. Meanwhile, GK has been throwing herself into jungle life in the I'm A Celeb camp. She's joined by the likes of Coleen Rooney, Tulisa, Danny Jones and Oti Mabuse .
Before heading Down Under, GK, who is dating Ipswich Town footballer Ella Rutherford, confessed she would miss her girlfriend terribly while away. She said: "When you are missing home and all you want is your comfort people, then that will be hard if they are not there. But my girlfriend is also very excited for me and thinks I will do really well.
I have got her a cardboard cut out of me so it's not when I am away." GK has spoken in the jungle about her partner and coming out to her parents . Talking to Jane Moore and Dean McCullough, she said: “It was by accident I found Ella, through a mutual friend and then I really liked her the first day I met her but I’d never told my parents.
“I’d mentioned, ‘Oh I’m just going to see my friend Ella’ or ‘I’m staying round Ella’s’ so they’d heard her name." But when her parents asked one day who Ella was, her replied: "Oh. she’s my girlfriend.
” She added to her campmates: "They just love her, they never had an issue with it.”.
