As the popular TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! continues, fans are eagerly watching to see who will be crowned the winner. One contestant, social media star and podcast host GK Barry, has been making headlines due to her intense phobia that may hinder her chances of winning.
GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has been facing her fears by participating in the show's notorious bushtucker trials alongside other well-known figures such as Reverend Richard Coles and Coleen Rooney. On the first day, she had a memorable meltdown before arriving at the camp, but she has since pushed through and is now close to reaching the final.
However, according to her close friend Joe Baggs, there may be one thing standing in the way of GK being crowned Queen of the Jungle. During an appearance on Lorraine, Joe revealed that GK suffers from emetophobia, a fear of vomiting or the sound of vomiting. He expressed his concern about how this may affect her during the show's eating trials, as the sight and sound of others retching can be triggering for someone with this phobia.
Despite this, both Joe and host Lorraine praised GK for her strength and determination in facing her fears during the show. Joe also mentioned that she has surprised him by overcoming other fears in previous trials. Emetophobia is a real and serious fear, as defined by the NHS, and can be associated with a fear of losing control or feeling trapped.
Before entering the jungle, GK admitted that she was terrified of almost everything and had not slept in a month due to her fears. She also shared her dread of the eating trials, calling it the worst thing you can do to a human being. During an appearance on Loose Women, she opened up about her fear of vomit, saying that it has been a lifelong struggle for her. She even sought professional help to overcome her fear of flying, which was linked to her past experiences with travel sickness as a child.
Despite trying hypnotherapy, it was actually being surrounded by sick while attending university that helped GK overcome her phobia. She explained that she had to force herself to become desensitized to the idea of vomit in order to cope with it. Now, she is determined to push through her fears and make it to the end of the competition.
As the show continues, fans will be rooting for GK as she faces her phobia and takes on new challenges. Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV1, and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! airs every night at 9pm on ITV1.
