by · NottinghamshireLive

I'm A Celeb contestant GK Barry has a humorous connection to another celebrity entering the jungle tonight.

The 25-year-old internet sensation has amassed an impressive 3.6 million followers on TikTok, with over 270 million likes, in just four years on the platform. GK also has a dedicated following on her YouTube channel where she hosts the Saving Grace podcast.

Her podcast is formatted as a candid chat show featuring interviews with other influencers and celebrities, including her most recent interviewee, the award-winning comedian Alan Carr.

Another well-known face that has featured in GK's content is soon-to-be I'm A Celeb competitor Tulisa Contostavlos, who she mentioned in a 2022 video.

Sharing "embarrassing" childhood photos on TikTok, GK narrated the stories behind various pictures. She began the video by disclosing that she used to have Justin Bieber posters in her bedroom and explained that her haircut in the first photo, short at the back and long at the front, was inspired by Victoria Beckham but didn't meet her expectations.

She continued to share images with her "pet peacock" named Fred and a snapshot from a tropical family holiday in Trinidad and Tobago.

Later in the video, GK shared a photo of herself wearing lime green trousers with zips halfway down the legs and revealed: "This was [taken during] my N-Dubz phase. Also, those trousers unzipped into shorts, so some could say I'm a fashion Icon. In this outfit I thought I could really out-do Tulisa", reports OK!

Tulisa first gained recognition as a member of the hip-hop trio N-Dubz, alongside her cousin Dappy and rapper Fazer. The group was formed in the early 2000s and achieved mainstream success between 2007 and 2010, during which they won numerous MOBO Awards and received a BRIT nomination.

At the tender age of 23, Tulisa joined the X-Factor judging panel, taking over from Girls Aloud's Cheryl Tweedy.

Now, GK will be sharing the jungle with the pop star. Will she reveal her fangirl phase to Tulisa? Only time will tell.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! returns tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
