GK Barry became emotional and cried after the public chose her to participate in the Vile Volcano Bushtucker Trial during the premiere episode of I'm A Celebrity on Sunday.

The 25-year-old internet star got quite upset when she learned that she would have to participate in the next challenge only a few hours after she arrived in the jungle. This led to concerns that she might decide to leave the show, especially since she had previously expressed that she 'disliked' it before joining.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly entered the camp to announce the outcomes of the public voting to the contestants.

They announced that GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, and Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough had garnered the highest number of votes from the audience.

GK quickly appeared anxious and was overheard saying, "I hope it's Dean," as they anticipated the announcement of who would be on trial.

When GK began to cry, her fellow campmates rallied around to support her, especially Jane Moore from Loose Women.

Many viewers have suggested that GK might encounter several of the difficulties in this series, considering how she has reacted to the challenges presented so far.

On X, they posted: "It's GK Barry who is participating in all the trials this year." ... "Every single viewer is casting their votes for GK Barry for the upcoming trial."

'GK Barry has officially been put forward for all the challenges'... 'The British public is casting their votes for GK Barry to participate in every trial.'

This follows the moment when audiences were in stitches watching GK Barry participate in the series' initial trial filled with creepy-crawlies.

The TikTok celebrity joined forces with Jane as they searched for a key to open a boat in the critter-infested Hell Hole.

As they sprinted along the riverbank, GK playfully remarked, "Jane, this feels just like Baywatch!"

During the experiment, Grace was observed shouting and bouncing with excitement as she reached her hand into a box full of cockroaches.

The podcast celebrity was spotted with smudged mascara on her cheeks, shouting, "There's something in my pants!"

Fans have theorized that GK might encounter several struggles in this series, especially considering her responses to the challenges she has faced so far.

Fans were in stitches as GK Barry participated in the first challenge filled with creepy crawlies on Sunday.

The TikTok sensation teamed up with Jane Moore as they explored the creature-filled Hell Hole in search of a key to open a boat.

After the trial wrapped up, Grace couldn't secure a canoe, so she and Jane had to make the trek to camp on foot.

She made a light-hearted comment, saying, "I believe we kept our composure and stayed relaxed throughout."

Fans quickly took to X, the platform previously called Twitter, to express their belief that Grace should be chosen for every trial after her funny response to the creepy crawlies.

"I believe we managed to keep our composure," GK Barry remarks as mascara runs down her face. Given how she's handling the task with her hand in the hole, it looks like GK Barry might face all the challenges coming her way.

GK Barry has received nominations for every trial; the mascara is streaking down her face; she has me in tears; and her discovery of this key is making me laugh uncontrollably.

The country is preparing to support GK Barry in all the challenges ahead; 'We remained composed and focused,' says GK Barry; I can't stop laughing at GK Barry.

The duo eventually arrived at the famous ITV campsite, and Grace wasted no time in checking out the jungle toilet.

She confessed, "It's way worse than I expected!"
