GK Barry's Podcast Spurs ITV Crisis Talks

ITV is reportedly in crisis talks over the controversial inclusion of podcaster GK Barry, real name Grace Keeling, in the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here. The backlash stems from a recent episode of her podcast, Saving Grace, featuring Bonnie Blue, an adult content creator who controversially claimed to have slept with multiple young male university students. Fans and critics have accused GK Barry of promoting harmful content to her largely young female audience and failing to challenge her guest's views. In response, GK Barry has removed promotional clips of the episode but has not taken down the full content from her platforms. ITV is concerned about the potential impact on their family-friendly show's reputation and advertising relationships and is strategizing on how to handle the situation. The controversy highlights the challenges of maintaining a show's integrity while featuring influencers with potentially divisive content.
