GK Barry has made a candid admission about her plans to marry her footballer girlfriend Ella Rutherford.
The I’m A Celebrity star, 25, was rumoured to be dating the Ipswich Town player, 24, long before the couple confirmed their relationship publicly in August.
GK spent months keeping her girlfriend’s idenтιтy under wraps before the reveal – but she is now making it clear how serious their relationship is.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, admitted that her and Ella have already confirmed they are getting married and having kids.
But sharing that the milestones could be a while off yet, GK said: ‘One day, it’s going to happen, not yet, we’re both set on doing well in our careers.
‘Then she’ll get down on one knee!’

GK has been open about her Sєxuality and despite being aware she was biSєxual, the thought of dating a woman was daunting.
‘I knew I was bi, but I was really scared to date a woman, and I was really terrified to meet Ella,’ she said.
Footballer Ella recently opened up about her presenter girlfriend being away for I’m A Celeb and shared details about their ‘awkward’ bridge kiss.
GK finished in fifth place and was evicted on day 20 of the compeтιтion, while McFly’s Danny Jones went on to win the ITV show.
Speaking as she joined GK on an episode of her Saving Grace podcast earlier this month, Ella said: ‘I tried to hold my s**t together, but I was actually in hell. I never want that to happen again.
‘I was a shell of myself. My mum was worried about my health – my mental health.’
Ella went on to explain how Grace managed to ruin the surprise of their reunion on the bridge by repeatedly asking producers if she was there.
Grace said: ‘I managed to find out that Ella had flown over. Before I left, I didn’t know if she was coming or not because if she was allowed from football.’

The presenter then described their reunion, revealing: ‘The woman before I went on [the bridge] was like, “Three-second hug, turn to the cameras.” So in my head, I was like, “Three-second hug”.
‘Then I told Ella, “Turn around,” and she said, “No.”‘ Grace burst into laughter as she shared the story.
Ella added: ‘I was like, “No,” because I literally hadn’t seen you.’
Grace chimed in: ‘I know, and then we did a really awkward kiss on the bridge.’
Ella replied: ‘Oh, babe, the fact they aired that as well – it’s criminal from everyone involved.’ Grace laughed, adding: ‘I was squeezing your head.’
Ella also explained her nervousness when stepping onto the bridge: ‘I had to hold onto the railings because I thought it was going to collapse underneath me.
‘If you watch it back, you’ll see I grabbed onto the railing before I even saw you because I was sh*tting myself.’

However, reflecting on the moment, Ella gushed: ‘That was the best day ever, really. Nothing will ever top that feeling.
‘I was quite sad though, like good sad. And the first thing you said when you stepped off was, “Do you still love me?” And I was like, “I’m literally here.”‘
Grace admitted: ‘When I was in there, I was having dreams that you were cheating on me and all sorts – I didn’t know what you were doing.’
Ella reᴀssured her: ‘Babe, little did you know, I was crying and crying again in my bed.
‘Every night I was getting the cats and dogs into the bed just to fill the void.’
