GK Barry has revealed her huge new career move just three months after her time on I’m A Celebrity wrapped.
The TV star’s job shift comes after reports the podcast queen had doubled her earnings from being the breakout campmate on the ITV jungle series.
GK, real name Grace Keeling, won over a new legion of fans with her I’m A Celeb appearance and her sweet friendship with Rev Richard Coles, ultimately coming in fifth place.
Now the Saving Grace anchor, 25, who is also the youngest ever Loose Women panellist, will take to the Red Carpet at the upcoming BRIT Awards.
She will front Radio station KISS’ coverage live from the entrance to the major London event at The O2 Arena on March 1.
After her new role – which will see her interview the top chart stars of the year – was revealed, she opened up on her nerves to KISS hosts Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely.
In her signature witty style, she joked: “I think it might be too big a responsibility
“I’m going to go in, heckle, hope for the best and grab consensually.
“That’s what I’m going to do.
“Full glam, put a bit of Real Housewives on to calm the nerves, Prosecco and then hairspray my feet so they don’t hurt in heels.”
Talking of getting star-struck, she added: “I’ll be fangirling over Sabrina [Carpenter] – she is an icon, like a Barbie doll.
“I hope she’s nice. I will force her to answer all my questions.”
