I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here star GK Barry has revealed she’s in hospital with her girlfriend Ella Rutherford. The social media star, who was a fan favourite on the hit ITV show, posted the scary news on her Instagram story. The photo showed GK – real name Grace Keeling, 25 – sitting in a hospital waiting room chair and was captioned:’Currently in A&E with Ella, the emetophobia and germ phobia has been confirmed.’.

She continued: ‘Walked in to a woman throwing up and passing out. If I ever break a bone or do anything that needs me to attend A&E just let me die.’. While it’s clear that it’s Ella and not GK in hospital, it remains unclear what caused the pair to make the emergency visit.

According to the NHS, emetophobia is a fear or anxiety of oneself vomiting or seeing other people vomit. It can be associated with a fear of losing control, or the feeling of being unable to escape from somewhere. GK has previously spoken about having this phobia, so the moment the couple experienced in A&E was likely extremely upsetting for GK.

When the podcast host first arrived to take on Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s bushtucker trials in the jungle competition, alongside the likes of Reverand Richard Coles and Coleen Rooney, she was quickly faced with her fear. She told fans online before arriving in the jungle that she was terrified of ‘everything’, adding: ‘I haven’t slept in a month. I am scared of the trials and I am genuinely scared of everything.
