I'm A Celeb's GK Barry addresses marriage rumours and sends warning to girlfriend Ella Rutherford
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me out of Here! star GK Barry has spoken out about marriage rumours after girlfriend Ella Rutherford fuelled wedding speculation. The TikTok star began dating footballer Ella earlier this year - however, some fans were convinced that the couple had secretly tied the knot after Ella referred to GK as her 'wife'.
However, GK - real name Grace Keeling - has set the record straight, revealing on Loose Women that she is not married to Ella. "They love to say I'm married," Grace said, when asked whether the reports were true. "I would just like to say I'm not."
Grace did have a warning for Ella if she is planning on getting down on one knee soon. "If she's going to do it on Christmas Day, I'll be fuming.," she said.

"You can any other day, apart from my birthday, because the thing is, I'm drunk Christmas Day by 9am. You can't propose to me because I won't remember the next day."
She added that if the marriage didn't work out, it would ruin Christmas. "Every Christmas, you've got the cloud," she said. "Or on your birthday, it's not about you anymore, it's about happy engagement. No it's not - it's about me."
Last month, GK was predicted to land her own reality series featuring Ella. A PR expert told OK! in an exclusive chat: "Loose Women was a great starting point for her to expand into the world of TV and it’s likely ITV is viewing her as their 'next big star'. A spin-off show with her girlfriend Ella could be on the horizon – like a fly-on-the-wall reality series," they said.
"Commercial deals, which GK already does, could come in thick and fast, too. She’s already commercially friendly and viable – she’s worked with Pretty Little Thing, is the face of Wagamama and has a jewellery line. It’s likely she’ll have her pick of anything."
Back in October, GK spoke to OK! in an exclusive chat, revealing that before finding fame on social media, she was too nervous to get on public transport by herself. "When I first started this journey, I wouldn’t even get on public transport on my own. I wouldn’t really speak to people, I was just too nervous to do any of that," she said.
"Now I’m hopping on the Tube on my own, I’m interviewing everyone under the sun... it’s really made me a lot more independent and confident. It’s all quite surreal."
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
