Internet star GK Barry is famous for her hilarious TikTok videos, often mentioning her brother without disclosing much about him.
GK Barry, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has been a sensation since 2020, offering snippets of her family life to hordes of dedicated fans. She's even had her parents appear on an episode of her Saving Grace podcast.
Yet, her brother Oli typically only gets a nod through her comical online sketches. As GK preps for her stint on the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! jungle tonight, we take a peek at her relationship with her elder sibling, reports OK!
Oli, who resides in New York, is a creative producer collaborating with renowned labels such as Adidas, Lancôme and Vera Wang.
Brought up by their mum Loretta and stepdad Andrew, GK fondly recounts a childhood filled with playful antics alongside her brother Oli.
The siblings' witty rapport shines through in GK's content. In a recent Instagram post, the TikTok sensation touched on Oli's engagement with a tongue-in-cheek comment: "Brother's engaged, fuming he's back to being mum's favourite."
Meanwhile, Oli's betrothed, Anastasia, celebrated the occasion online, expressing joy and missing her father in a touching caption. She expressed: "The hard launch of 9.17.24. I know my dad is looking down, so so happy that I get to spend the rest of my life with the man of my dreams. Also SO [shout out] to @kathryn_bentley_jewelry for the sickest ring - you did us good."
Ahead of GK's anticipated entrance into the jungle, Anastasia showed affection by sharing a post from the official I'm A Celebrity account, hinting at her backing for her partner's sister.
The soon-to-be jungle inhabitant often regales her followers with tales of her childhood with her brother, Oli. In a funny video from 2021, she playfully complained that he was their parents' golden boy.
She quipped: "My brother could literally commit mass murder right? He could kill a priest. But somehow my parents will just be like 'Oh [that's just] Oli.' But if I do it. If I forget my keys once - when my parents are home to let me in - Jesus take the wheel. I would be hung, I would be sentenced to death."
In jest, GK suggested that while their parents might reject any bias, shes keen to see what truth the will reveals insisting, "It better be 50/50."
Even before her stint on I'm A Celeb, GK Barry has graced our screens on several occasions, making appearances on shows like Loose Women and Love Island: Aftersun.
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! returns tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
