GK Barry reveals footballer girlfriend Ella Rutherford has been rushed to A&E
GK Barry is having a bit of a nightmare after rushing her girlfriend to A&E – but she’s the one who’s left feeling sick.
The I’m A Celebrity star took her girlfriend, footballer Ella Rutherford, to hospital today, and documented their trip on Instagram.
However, while the reasons for Ella’s dash remained hidden, GK – real name Grace Keeling – found herself facing her own fears, just when she thought she was free of gruesome trials in the ITV jungle.
Sharing a photo of the hospital floor, Grace wrote: ” Currently in A&E with Ella, the emetophobia and germ phobia has been confirmed.
“Walked in to a woman throwing up and passing out.
“If I ever break a bone or do anything that needs me to attend A&S just let me die.”
She later posted a second picture, showing her face in a protective mask, writing over it: “I’ve resorted to becoming a mask w****r.
“Anyone got a code for BetterHelp. Will be seeking immediate therapy after this, god bless.”
Ella is better known as Eyelashes to GK’s fan, with the podcaster initially using it as a codename when they first got together.
The pair have become inseparable since they first got together, and even refer to each other as ‘wives’ – fuelling rumours they’ve secretly got hitched.
The Sun exclusively revealed their romance was getting serious in the summer of 2024, after they met each other’s family and holidayed together.
Grace also proudly calls herself a WAG, and spoke of Ella often while on I’m A Celebrity.
GK told her fellow campers: “Obviously online I’d been like I’d slept with girls or whatever as well, but I’d only dated men.”
Speaking about her girlfriend, she said: “It was by accident I found Ella, through a mutual friend and then I really liked her the first day I met her but I’d never told my parents.
“I’d mentioned, ‘Oh I’m just going to see my friend Ella’ or ‘I’m staying round Ella’s’ so they’d heard her name.”
Speaking about a situation when her parents came to visit when Ella was there, and they asked who she was, GK said : “I told them ‘Oh. she’s my girlfriend’.
“(But) They just love her, they never had an issue with it.”
Before she added: “To be fair I feel like the closet may have been glass!”
Ella flew out to meet Grace for her return to reality after the show ended, with Grace narrowly missing out on the finale and coming in fourth.
Grace later said: “Never again, are we leaving each other. We must be joined at the hip at all times.
“She basically said to me, this is your moment.….this is all about you. I feel like it says a lot about her.”
