The 25-year-old gained her massive following by creating funny and relatable videos, often poking fun at British culture, relationships, and social scenarios.

Her humour resonated with a lot of people and she swiftly became a prominent figure on the popular social media platform. She currently has 3.6 million followers on TikTok.

In 2022 she launched her own podcast, Saving Grace, which now has more than 120 episodes. Her podcast is all about sharing funny moments and she has had a range of well-known guests over the years.

Guests Grace has interviewed on the pod include reality TV star Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, Made in Chelsea’s Binky Felstead, Geordie Shore’s Holly Hagan, comedian Alan Carr plus many more.

The description of her podcast reads: “Grace shares wild tales from her university escapades to the laugh-out-loud moments she encounters in her daily life. Expect the unexpected, laugh a little louder, and find solace in shared experiences.”

In her most recent episode of Saving Grace, she spoke about recently experiencing health issues. She suffered a bad case of tonsillitis and was put on a drip to rehydrate.

She also mentioned trying to bulk up before going on I’m A Celeb in anticipation of the low-calorie diet she will be on.

Speaking about entering the Australian jungle, she said: "I hate animals, I don't sleep outside, I don't like not having my phone. I don't like flying.

"Why the f**k am I going to Australia? Do you know how mental that is?" And she requested that fans don’t vote for her to do the Bushtucker Trials.

Grace keeps her relationships private, but it is rumoured that she is currently dating footballer Ella Rutherford who plays as a striker for Ipswich Town.

Joining GK in the jungle is Corrie star Alan Halsall, Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse, WAG Coleen Rooney, singer Tulisa, former boxer Barry McGuigan, radio DJ Melvin Odoom, Loose Women's Jane Moore, musician Danny Jones and radio presenter Dean McCullough.
