GK Barry reveals the ‘great investment’ she splashed out on to keep girlfriend Ella Rutherford ‘happy’ as she opens up on their relationship

GK Barry has revealed the ‘great investment’ she splashed out on to keep her girlfriend Ella Rutherford ‘happy’.

The presenter, 25, whose real name is Grace Keeling, publicly confirmed her relationship with the Ipswich Town player, 24, in August, after months of dating rumours.

And in a new interview, Grace happily opened up about her romance with Ella as she spilled the beans on the one thing that keeps the footballer from ‘moaning at her’. 

Taking part in Fabulous’ Spill or Chill? YouTube challenge, GK told how the most expensive things she had bought were her house and car, revealing that she didn’t really like to spend her money on things such as designer handbag.

However, one thing she did splurge on was a Xbox, with Grace remarking: ‘The only other really expensive thing I’ve bought is an Xbox, to keep my girlfriend happy and to stop her moaning while I’m cooking dinner. Great investment. 10 out of 10’.

Meanwhile, the I’m A Celebrity star further opened up on her relationship, admitting that 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 GK 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.’ 

It comes after GK made a candid admission about her plans to marry her footballer girlfriend Ella.

Before going public, GK spent months keeping her girlfriend’s idenтιтy under wraps – but she is now making it clear how serious their relationship is. 

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday recently, GK 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.

Elsewhere, Footballer Ella previously 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.’
