I’m A Celeb’s GK Barry reveals moment footballer girlfriend Ella Rutherford will ‘get down on one knee’

I’m A Celebrity star GK Barry has spoken out about her and footballer girlfriend Ella Rutherford’s marriage plans, confirming “it’s going to happen”.

Since early 2024, Ella, 24, who plays for Premier League side Ipswich Town, has been dating the social media aficionado whose real name is Grace Keeling. The couple, who have been “inseparable” since they started dating, are even discussing getting married and having children together.

After finding fame thanks to her podcast Saving Grace, comedian GK made an appearance on the most recent episode of I’m A Celeb. Grace followed the football player on social media before Ella recovered from knee surgery, when they first made eye contact.

They went on to share a holiday together and met each other’s families. And now that GK has confirmed that she is aware that her partner will ask the question only after they have established careers.

Grace told The Sun on Sunday that they both want to settle down and have children, saying: “One day, it’s going to happen. Not yet. We’re both set on doing well in our careers. Then she’ll get down on one knee”!

GK joked that a common occurrence almost prefigured their blossoming romance when the social media influencer criticized one of Ella’s favored dishes. The football player reportedly only eats “mince and eggs,” which GK calls “a little icky”

GK also discussed how she transitioned from working in Costa to being a panelist on Loose Women in an interview. The 25-year-old admitted that her parents were concerned about her “normal” packing before committing to her media career.

The film studies graduate said she started to upload TikTok videos during the pandemic, discussing her “uni experiences, exes and nights out”, but didn’t think anybody would watch them. In just six months, GK amassed an incredible 100k viewers, surpassing the one million milestone.

GK now looks forward to reuniting with her jungle bestie Rev Richard for an upcoming project after her I’m A Celeb stint. She has also set her sights on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, as well as heading out on her upcoming Saving Grace tour, which kicks off in September.
