Following his departure, Barry said: “As I’m the original cyclone, I am kinda disappointed with that slipping and looking like a clown, it would’ve been great,” he said of missing out on the famous Celebrity Cyclone.
The Irish boxer added that the show was “harder” than he had thought it would be.
Speaking about “lovely” Danny Jones, who recently commented that the athlete was like a dad to him, Barry said: “It makes me feel great, all my kids are the same age as him, or around the same age as him.”

When asked who he would like to see win, Barry said: “Danny boy!”
As part of her exit chat with the show’s hosts, Irish stunner Maura said she was “really happy” with coming in at seventh place.
She said: “I’m really happy! I said it last night, I said it this morning, I was like ‘It’s my time,’ I had a gut feeling and my gut feeling is never wrong!”
The Love Island beauty went on to say that she knew it was “tough” but the show was the “most amazing” experience.

She said: “I really did embrace it, I didn’t think I’d embrace it as much as I have.”
She then went on to day that she, just like Barry found the show to be “tougher” than expected, despite going in there knowing it would be “tough”.
After leaving her adored bubble bath in her hidden camp, Maura explained that living in luxury was filled with good memories, having been isolated with Reverend Richard Coles, who, according to Maura, is a “lovely human.”
