GK Barry will be facing her fears on Monday night, as she takes on the Vile Volcano on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
The podcast star, 25, was voted by the public to take on the Bushtucker Trial over the other celebrities, in order to earn meals for camp.
After hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly revealed she would be facing the trial during Sunday’s launch show, GK immediately declared: ‘I’m gonna die! What does volcano mean?’
The internet star – whose real name is Grace Keeling – couldn’t help becoming emotional, as Loose Women’s Jane Moore comforted her and said it ‘doesn’t matter’ how many stars she gets.
But in the first look at Vile Volcano, it looks as though Grace is putting her terror aside in her determination to succeed.
She can be seen crawling on her hands and knees through a darkened tunnel, with animal skeletons and creepy crawlies covering the walls.

As she looks around for stars, she mistakenly identifies green ants as red ants, causing And and Dec to break into chuckles.
Dec quips: ‘Red ants? Oh my god, they’re not supposed to be there!’ as Ant chimes in: ‘It’s meant to be green ants. Red ants could kill her!’
Bravely continuing on, Grace whispers encouragement to herself to stay calm, saying: ‘Everything’s fine. Everything’s fine – what is an ant amongst friends?’
But unable to keep her panic out of her voice, Ant checks in, saying: ‘How are you feeling? Are you proud of yourself?’
Dec helpfully prods her to look everywhere, saying: ‘Make sure you don’t pᴀss any stars’.
But as Grace turns a corner, a giant tarantula lands on top of her helmet, causing Ant and Dec to jump and point in shock, as Ant mouths: ‘Right on her head!’
Grace soon begins to scream in abject terror at the horrible sight, and the hosts quickly step in to try and calm her down, saying in unison: ‘Just breathe, breathe, breathe!’
Dec can’t help but quip: ‘Is that a quote?’ as Ant smirks: ‘Well it is now!’
