GK Barry’s girlfriend Ella Rutherford looked in high spirits as she laughed alongside Coleen Rooney’s dad at their hotel in Surfers Paradise.
The Lioness, 24, arrived in Australia on Tuesday just in time to greet her girlfriend in case the TikTok star was kicked out of the jungle ahead of Sunday’s final.
Ella’s appearance will be a surprise for Grace, who previously revealed she would be delighted if her girlfriend made the trip to Australia.
Looking sporty, Ella wore a matching gray and pastel yellow Nike sports t-shirt and shorts.
The sports star was seen chatting to Coleen’s dad Anthony as the pair shared a hug while sitting on the hotel’s sofas.
GK Barry, whose real name is Grace Keeling, previously told MailOnline: “Well, I hope my girlfriend goes out because I want to kiss someone at the end of the bridge and it would be weird if it was my parents.”
Ella Rutherford, the girlfriend of I’m A Celeb star GK Barry, looked in high spirits as she laughed with Coleen Rooney’s father at the Surfer Paradise hotel on Friday.
The Lioness, 24, arrived in Australia on Tuesday just in time to greet her girlfriend in case the TikTok star was kicked out of the jungle ahead of Sunday’s final.
The Ipswitch Town striker was seen wandering around the Marriott Hotel with Grace’s mother Loretta Bruce and cheering on Melvin Odoom as he arrived after becoming the fourth celebrity to be banned from the Jungle.
It comes after Ella, who Grace affectionately refers to as Eyelashes, wrote her a sweet letter to read in Jungle.
She wrote: “I thought I couldn’t love you more than I already do, but seeing you with a huntsman spider on your head has really done that.”
‘You’re absolutely killing it, beautiful. I can’t wait to see you and give you a big kiss. You are making us all proud.
After months of keeping his girlfriend’s identity a secret, GK Barry finally opened up about their relationship and even brought a subtle reminder of her to the I’m A Celebrity camp.
Fans have also spotted a sweet dedication to the Ipswitch football star on GK Barry’s nails, as he has a small white E on his nail where a wedding ring would go.
Before heading into the jungle, she got a set of French tip nails and asked the manicurist to paint them an E for Ella.
Grace opened up about her relationship with her I’m A Celebrity campmates last week and opened up about her sexuality to the group.

It comes after Ella, who Grace affectionately refers to as Eyelashes, wrote her a sweet letter to read in Jungle.
The social media star said: “Obviously online I’d been like I’d slept with girls or something but I’d only dated guys.”
‘It was by accident that I found Ella, through a mutual friend and then I really liked her the first day I met her, but I never told my parents.
“I mentioned, ‘Oh, I’m just going to see my friend Ella,’ or ‘I’m staying at Ella’s house,’ so they would hear her name.”
After her parents visited London from Cambridge and saw them together, they asked who Ella was and Grace confessed: ‘Oh. She is my girlfriend.’ “They just love her, they never had any problem with that.”
He added: “To be fair, I feel like the cupboard may have been made of glass.” But they’ve always said who you end up with we don’t care, boy or girl we don’t care, as long as they’re not idiots.’
The Loose Women panelist had previously been in a long-term relationship with TikTok sensation Billy Hunt, who appeared on her podcast, Saving Grace, and on her social media pages.
Gogglebox’s Joe Baggs introduced the couple and, speaking about how they met, Grace said: “So my side of the story. Joe Baggs had a party. (Billy was) the only straight guy there, (I) threw myself at him .It has gone down in history since then.
The couple split last year and Grace spoke on Young Filly’s about coming out as a lesbian, saying: “I feel like I was so wrong about men.” I don’t like men anymore. I will never go back to a man. God forbid.
‘Yes, I just love it. I love it. I feel like I have spring in my step. I feel like I’m shining. It’s the lesbian glow. I have it. And yes, that’s the update of my life.”
