GK Barry flaunts her jaw-dropping figure in a TINY thong bikini as she soaks up the sun with gorgeous girlfriend Ella Rutherford amid their romantic Greek getaway
GK Barry flaunted her jaw-dropping figure amid her romantic Crete getaway with gorgeous girlfriend Ella Rutherford on Monday. The Loose Women star, 25, who has been dating the professional footballer, also 25, since early 2024, slipped into a skimpy bikini to climb the famous Kourtaliotiko Gorge and swim in its stunning lagoon. GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, looked sensational while frolicking in the water in the tiny white two piece which boasted a triangular top and racy thong. Meanwhile Ella also showed off her own svelte physique in a busty bikini top and swimming shorts as the pair put on a romantic display. GK captioned the snaps: 'No one tells you it's around 6,000 steps to get to the waterfall and the water is -50 degrees x' to which Ella replied: 'Was worth every step'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The couple were no doubt celebrating GK's new career move after she landed a spot on BBC Radio 1's schedule this summer. The star will present her very own show for the entire month of July after BBC bosses announced a schedule shakeup. GK will host Radio 1's afternoon show from July 4 and will be on air from 1pm to 4pm every Saturday and Sunday. Speaking about her new gig, GK told MailOnline: 'I'm really excited to be presenting my own show with BBC Radio 1 this summer. It's totally different to podcasting and I'm ready to get stuck in! 'As someone who travels a lot for work I'm always listening to the radio, so I can't wait to interact with the listeners and get them involved in all the fun.' Teasing her new show, the BBC said the TiKToker will be joined by 'special guests' who will co-host the programme alongside her. In April Ella shared a rare insight into her relationship with the TV star, admitting 'she's changed my life for the better'. Speaking on talkSPORT's The Kickback, Ella said: 'She [GK Barry] really just became, straight away, as soon as I met her, that rock - that I obviously had with family and stuff but I think it's different when you've got a partner and you're going home to them every night. GK captioned the snaps: 'No one tells you it's around 6,000 steps to get to the waterfall and the water is -50 degrees x' to which Ella replied: 'Was worth every step' 'She's been a massive part of why I'm so happy on the outside if people do see that. Since I met her, she's changed my life for the better.' Ella added: 'She's flourished into her wag era. She's cooking dinners and enjoying just coming to the game with her prosecco. 'She hasn't got a clue what's going on. I asked "babe what do you do when I'm playing?" and she's just like "I just watch you". 'Sometimes she'll say like "that was a free kick" and she'll know a corner but I do need to sit her down. 'At the start I was banging my head because she didn't know what goal we were scoring in or what team we were - I said "we're wearing all blue babe you need to just look at our team". 'But she's come on, bless her. That's nice for me as well because she really does try to understand it as well as me understanding what she does and supporting her. 'She's been a massive support for me this year so that's been nice.' GK previously admitted she was 'terrified' of first meeting Ella as she hadn't yet dated a woman after coming out. She said: 'I knew I was bi, but I was really scared to date a woman. It was territory I'd never been in. I was really terrified to meet Ella. We had a mutual friend. 'I looked at her Instagram and I thought, "look at the calves on that! There's no way I'm letting her go." So I plucked up the courage and went on a date.' The couple are now happier than ever, with Grace adding: 'It was the best decision ever. We have been inseparable since. We live together now. Sometimes she does drive me up the wall, but with love, of course.'

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.

GK Barry lands major new gig in career move that's worlds away from Loose Women and TiKTok
GK Barry has landed a brand new national presenting gig and it's worlds away from Loose Women and her TikTok fame. The influencer, 25, has seen her career sky rocket since jetting off to Australia last November for I'm A Celebrity. And now GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has landed a spot on BBC Radio 1's schedule this summer. The star will present her very own show for the entire month of July after BBC bosses announced a schedule shakeup. GK will host Radio 1's afternoon show from July 4 and will be on air from 1pm to 4pm every Saturday and Sunday. Speaking about her new gig, GK said: 'I am so excited to be presenting my own show with BBC Radio 1 across July, I thank the whole team for trusting me with such an incredible audience and I'm ready to bring you all into my world and music a few hours a week.'

The influencer, 25, has seen her career sky rocket since jetting off to Australia last November for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Teasing her new show, the BBC said the TiKToker will be joined by 'special guests' who will co-host the programme alongside her. Elsewhere, Jamie Laing will host his radio show with his wife Sophie Habboo this June. Sophie, 30, will step in as co-host with her husband as Jamie's co-anchors Vick Hope and Katie Thistleton continue their respective maternity leaves. GK previously revealed how she struggled with the 'vicious' reaction to her Caribbean accent when her family relocated to the UK from the British Virgin Islands. She had grown up with her mum Loretta and stepfather Andrew in Tortola before they moved to Cambridge when she was just eight years old. Speaking on the Loose Women podcast, GK told Jane Moore that her family moved to a small town that was 'predominantly white,' and her classmates couldn't 'wrap their head around' her Caribbean accent. Speaking about her upbringing in the British Virgin Islands, GK said: 'From as young as I can remember, I was in Tortola and I was one of the only white girls. 'All the aunties were doing my hair, they were braiding my hair, little cornrows and I just never saw anything different about that. I just thought, ''Oh, this is it''. 'But also the school that I went to, there were so many different races that it was just normal for me to see just any race, at any time… So I was friends with everyone. I had an incredible time.' Discussing her family moving back to the UK, she explained: 'And then when I moved back to the UK, we moved back to a predominantly white, small town and I had a Caribbean accent. '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. 'It was just really, really weird and 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. 'And then obviously you've got the other side, my dad was getting a lot of hate at the time because again, we were in a white community, he was getting a lot of racism. 'So, it was sort of just like, 'I don't really know where we all stand here'.' and Jane confirms, 'This is your stepdad, but he's your dad.'
