GK Barry lands biggest career move to date as she takes on huge new role
After building a loyal following online and appearing on I'm A Celebrity, GK Barry is expanding her media presence with a major national radio debut on BBC Radio 1 Grace Keeling, better known as GK Barry, is stepping into a new role this summer—hosting her very own weekend show on BBC Radio 1 throughout July. Known for her rise from TikTok fame and I'm A Celebrity appearances, the 25-year-old influencer will be on air every Saturday and Sunday from 1–4pm starting July 4. 'This is completely different from podcasting,' she told MailOnline. 'I'm really excited to be presenting my own show with BBC Radio 1 this summer… I'm always listening to the radio when I travel, so I can't wait to interact with the listeners and get them involved in all the fun.' The BBC has teased that GK will be joined by 'special guests' throughout her run, offering fans a new side to the digital star. Meanwhile, fellow celebrity Jamie Laing is also returning to the airwaves - this time alongside his wife, Sophie Habboo, who'll co-host while his usual presenters are on maternity leave. Away from her growing media career, GK has spoken candidly about her childhood in the British Virgin Islands and her difficult transition back to the UK. Born Grace Keeling, she spent her early years in Tortola with her mother Loretta and stepfather Andrew, whom she considers her dad. 'From as young as I can remember, I was in Tortola and I was one of the only white girls,' she shared on the Loose Women podcast. 'All the aunties were doing my hair… little cornrows… I never saw anything different about that.' She described her school life there as racially diverse and inclusive. 'There were so many different races... I was friends with everyone. I had an incredible time.' But the move to Cambridge at age eight was a harsh contrast. 'We moved back to a predominantly white, small town, and I had a Caribbean accent,' she said. 'Now Jane, I don't know if you've ever gone into a small town with a Caribbean accent and be white, but it's vicious.' Struggling to connect with her peers, she recalled, 'Most people couldn't wrap their head around [it at school]... I'm talking about my life and people had no clue what I was on about.' She also remembered the racism her stepfather endured. 'My dad was getting a lot of hate at the time… so it was sort of just like, 'I don't really know where we all stand here'.' Host Jane Moore clarified, 'This is your stepdad, but he's your dad,' to which GK agreed.

Man Utd told 'throwback' £30m striker would suit them 'down to the ground'
Ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster believes 'throwback' Ipswich striker Liam Delap would suit his former club 'down to the ground'. Delap has enjoyed an outstanding first full season in the Premier League having left Manchester City for Portman Road last summer following three separate loan moves. While Ipswich's relegation is now all but confirmed, the 22-year-old forward has managed to enhance his reputation and win plenty of admirers with an impressive return of 12 goals and two assists in the English top flight. The likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and United have all been credited with an interest and the bombshell revelation that Delap has a £30million relegation release clause in his contract has only intensified speculation of an impending transfer. Recent reports claimed United were the frontrunners to wrap up an agreement for Delap, with Ruben Amorim crying out for extra firepower up front after a poor campaign for both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. But according to Foster, the Red Devils will likely have to fight off competition from upwards of ten other clubs if they are to complete a deal for the England Under-21 international. 'Liam Delap's agent has produced here like you would not believe!' the former England and United 'keeper said of Delap's relegation release clause on his Ben Foster – The Cycling GK YouTube channel. 'He deserves all of the pats on the back from Liam that he's going to get. 'What's going to happen now is: Liam Delap is going to have, I would say, the best part of ten to 12 big-boy teams looking at him. 'And they will not only looking at him, they will be wanting to sign him and getting into his agent, saying, 'Bring him to us, we will give him a £10m signing on fee, we'll give him £150,000-a-week', he will have ten of them doing it. 'The agent will then go to the next club and go, 'They've offered us £150,000-a-week and £10m so if you can just beat that by £160,000 or £170,000″… honestly.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Foster is confident Delap would be a perfect addition for one of United, Chelsea or Arsenal, who are all scouring the market for a proven No.9 ahead of the summer transfer window. 'He is probably the hottest property player in the Premier League at this moment in time,' Foster added. 'He would suit Manchester United down to the ground, he would suit Chelsea down to the ground, I think he would do well for Arsenal. 'All the teams we've mentioned there. He's a throwback.' Former United defender Paul Parker echoed Foster's comments while speaking to Betano, though went a step further, suggesting there was 'no better club' for Delap than the Old Trafford giants. 'I think Liam Delap needs to join a club who are going to utilise him as much as possible,' Parker said. 'I don't think he'd be a good back-up option, because you can see that he just wants to play football and score goals all the time. 'I think Manchester United would be a perfect fit for him. He needs to join a club where he'll be the first-choice striker for every single game, and in this moment in time, United would fall into that category. 'Some people will ask, 'Why would he want to join Manchester United in their current state?', but you go to Manchester United to make a name for yourself. 'It's meant to be a challenge, and it's a bigger challenge going to Old Trafford now than it would have been if they'd perhaps just missed out on the Premier League title. 'I think Delap has got that about him – he won't be fazed about being judged from the moment he's there and he'd be willing to accept that challenge. 'I believe that if he's got ambitions and wanting to try and win things and make a name for himself, there's no better club for that at the moment than Manchester United.'

1984 anti-Sikh riots: key witness threatened in Tytler case, says ex-DSGMC chief
In a significant development in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, a key witness, Surender Singh, allegedly changed his statement after facing repeated threats. This revelation was made by Manjeet Singh GK, former Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) Chairman, during his testimony before the Rouse Avenue Court on Monday. GK stated that Surender Singh told him about being threatened multiple times, leading to inconsistencies in his statements. GK assured Singh of community support, encouraging him to tell the truth. His statement is being recorded in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots of Pul Bangash. Congress leader Jagdish Tytler is facing trials in this case. Special Judge Jitendra Singh recorded Manjeet Singh GK's statement through CBI prosecutor Amit Jindal. GK stated, "When Surender Singh met me, he told me that he was threatened several times, and for that reason, he gave different versions of statements. I assured him that the community is supporting him and he should tell the truth. Thereafter, he told the truth to the CBI regarding the involvement of accused Jagdish Tytler in the present case."

During the hearing, a CD containing video clips of Jagdish Tytler's sting operation was also played in the court. A 2012 sting operation conducted by Manjit Singh GK, former president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), was presented as evidence.

During his cross-examination, GK said that it is correct that he was not present in the sting operation conducted on Jagdish Tytler and was also not involved in recording it. He further said, "It is also correct that I (GK) have no role in the recording of the same. It is also correct that I do not know who and why the sting operation was conducted. I am not aware of what procedure was adopted to record the sting operation." During the hearing, Senior Advocate HS Phoolka, along with advocates Kamna and Surpreet Kaur, appeared for the riot victims. This is a case of the killing of three Sikhs near Gurudwara Pul Bangash on November 1, 1984.

1984 riots: Ex-DSGMC chief corroborates Jagdish Tytler's ‘confession' video
Former president of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) Manjit Singh GK on Monday appeared in the Rouse Avenue Court, New Delhi, as a witness against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler for the latter's purported involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case. A recorded video, part of the sting operation done way back in 2018, was played in the court, which GK confirmed as the same that he had submitted against Tytler when he was DSGMC president. GK said the video was sent to him by a source. Later forensic examination by the Central Forensic Scientific Laboratory (CFSL) of the video clip was also conducted corroborating that the recorded video is original. The voice samples of Tytler were also taken which were matched with Tytler's voice by CFSL. The video shows Tytler admitting to his involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi. Tytler is facing charges for killing three Sikhs at Pul Bangash Gurdwara during the riots. In today's hearing, GK was cross-examined by the defence lawyer, who denied the presence of Tytler in the recorded video. According to HS Phoolka, who appeared in the court on behalf of the riot victims, GK was asked to identify Tytler in the video recording. The next hearing has been fixed for April 22.
