While her net worth isn’t known, it’s expected GK Barry will have earned a large sum to enter the jungle, according to the Mirror.
On behalf of Betfred, PR expert Kaley Cornelius told the Mirror: "Grace’s appearance on Loose Women is likely just the beginning of the opportunities that will come her way.
“Her ability to captivate audiences, combined with her quick wit, makes her exactly the kind of talent producers crave and if the demand for her continues, she will be on track to reach seven-figure earnings within the next year."
