GK Barry has admitted she would “love” to compete on Strictly Come Dancing as she eyes up a stint on the beloved ballroom show next year.
The TikTok sensation, real name Grace Keeling, first rose to fame during the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 when she decided to post short vlogs and share embarrassing stories about her life. Since then, the blonde bombshell, 24, has gone from strength to strength and has amassed more than one million followers on the short-form video platform.
More recently, the TV personality has ventured into the world of podcasts and launched her own program called The Saving Grace Podcast. While her well-loved show approaches its second anniversary on the airwaves, the influencer confessed she would “love” to take part on the BBC One dance competition.

When asked what show she would avoid, Grace insisted that there was only one show that fans would never see her take part on. The podcast host explained: “Do you know what? I’d never say no to anything apart from – I don’t know if I could do Dancing on Ice – purely because I would be like a one-legged dear that struggles with sight on the ice so I don’t know if that would be applicable.”
But this wouldn’t be the star’s first time on the silver screen, after she appeared on the ITV reality show Don’t Look Down. Grace joined soap legend Beverley Callard, footballer Anton Ferdinand, presenter and Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, sports presenter and Love Island finalist Chris Hughes and French football icon David Ginola.
Presented by Paddy McGuinness, the star-studded line up travelled to the heart of the French Apls to train for the world-first highwire walk to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. When asked what fans can expect from her in the future, she told us: “I’m gonna try and get into more stuff on the telly because I really enjoyed doing Don’t Look Down.

“Don’t Look Down was one of the most insane things because I genuinely think that people was saying that as a joke. Unless it’s for work, I’m not leaving the house. You will not get me out the house.”
She went on: “So for me to fly out on the first day and be chucked off a bridge was crazy. I thought, ‘Right, this is something here’. I feel like it did train me to put me in very terrifying situations and respectfully I’ll never do it again.”
