GK Barry took part in her first Bushtucker Trial on Monday’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here after sparking fears she would quit the show.
The terrified social media star broke down in tears after the results of the first public vote were revealed at the close of Sunday’s opening episode.
But GK shocked viewers on Monday after winning an impressive nine out of ten stars in her first trial – Vile Volcano.
Whilst walking to the Trial clearing, GK was feeling positive after a pep talk from her campmates, telling the camera: ‘The camp have gee’d me up, I’m going in really confident, I feel like the world is my oyster!’
Explaining the Bushtucker Trial, Ant & Dec revealed that deep inside the volcano were a series of caves and tunnels which she had to search in to find hidden stars.
She had just 10 minutes to find all 10 stars, and of course she was joined by plenty of jungle critters.
