GK Barry, the former I’m A Celebrity star, has revealed that the group’s WhatsApp has “died down” in the wake of Danny Jones and Maura Higgins’ kiss scandal.
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! from the previous year! After Danny Jones and Maura Higgins kiss, the actors are no longer speaking. Fans were enthralled earlier this year when they were pictured locking lips at a lavish BRIT Awards after party after becoming friends in the Australian jungle.
Danny, who is married to podcaster Georgia Jones, later apologised for his actions in a grovelling social media apology. However, Maura has remained silent about the scandal. Now, their co-star GK Barry, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has revealed the 2024 cast’s group WhatsApp chat has died down.
While some of the famous faces who took part are in regular contact, conversations have mellowed between the wider group which consisted of GK, Danny, Maura, Jane Moore, Coleen Rooney, Melvin Odoom, Reverend Richard Coles, Tulisa Contostavlos and Dean McCulloch.

Grace has since opened up on The Katie Price podcast about her jungle experience and the friendships she made on the show. Katie, who appeared on the show twice, asked: “Have you kept in contact, because this is another thing, when I’ve done Big Brother and all of that, you’re like, Yeah, ‘I’ll stay in contact…’
You text and then Grace responded, “But you know the ones you’ll stay in touch with, and some you just know.” We had a group chat. As you can see, it has slightly decreased in value.
She continued, “But I still keep in touch with the Rev. Richard Coles] and Dean. McCullough], I still keep in touch with a little bit, but primarily the Rev. and Melvin.
“I communicate with Melvin a lot,” I said. However, the group chat continued in April while Danny and Maura were allegedly locked in a car in the early hours of March 2.
In April, Radio 1 DJ Dean said, “No, no one’s left. Everyone is invested in it. Everyone is chatting away. You’ll just wake up one morning and see Coleen running with the kids, or Richard, who sent us a picture of him in full fancy dress at 10 o’clock the next day, in a picture of him.
“He was dressed as a nun. Everyone’s in it, of course, and excited to meet up again.” While GK found fame on TikTok, her status has been boosted since her stint in the jungle, with her going on to land a regular panellist position on ITV’s Loose Women and even a stint on BBC Radio 1.
She will be on the national station from 1pm until 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. She said, “This is completely different from podcasting.” This summer, I’m super excited to be presenting my own show on BBC Radio 1.
“I always have the radio on when I travel, so I can’t wait to interact with the listeners and get them to enjoy it.”
