I’m A Celebrity viewers predict the first star to exit the jungle, and it’s not GK Barry.
Another action-packed episode hit our screens on Monday (November 18), with Ant and Dec at the reins, catching up with the latest celeb batch braving the Australian wilderness.
This year’s lineup boasts names such as Tulisa, Oti Mabuse, Jane Moore, Danny Jones, and Dean McCullough, joined by Coleen Rooney, GK Barry and Melvin Odoom, all competing for the coveted title of King or Queen of the Jungle.
On the Monday (November 18) episode, GK Barry faced the series’ first audience-voted challenge: the Vile Volcano. Tasked with navigating through caves and tunnels to collect hidden stars, GK Barry wasn’t aloneshe was accompanied by a host of animals including snakes, spiders, and rats.
During her gruelling trial within the volcano, she was met with snakes, spiders, rats, and various other critters that sent the swearing counter soaring so much that even Ant and Dec exclaimed: “We’re going to need to bleep a lot of this! ” Despite expressing fears of nearly everything prior to the show, GK Barry excelled in her task, securing nine out of the possible ten stars, much to her campmate’s joy.
Yet, fans speculate that Grace’s triumph might shine the spotlight on Dean McCullough, making him the new favourite for future trials. Some of those tuning in now suggest he could be the first contestant ready to throw in the towel, reports the Express.
On social media, one viewer exclaimed: “Send Dean for the next trial. I reckon he’ll out-scream GK Barry! ” This sentiment was echoed by another fan who urged: “Need to vote Dean for the trial he will be hilarious!” A third enthusiast suggested “Yes! He’ll probably end up leaving in a few days (ish).”
This prompted agreement from others, with someone joining in: “Been thinking the same,” and another person chiming in: “I hope he’s the 1st campmate out, wouldn’t be mad to see Melvin Odoom leave either.”
There were also messages of support for GK Barry’s recent performance. As fans watched on, many expressed their pride at her accomplishment in the trial. One person shared their admiration saying: “Omg I’m so proud! She’s done so well! #ImACeleb #imacelebrity #gkbarry.” Moreover, recognising her fears, another fan said: “Considering how scared she is of everything, fair play to GK Barry for doing that trial. Made me chuckle tbf.”
