GK Barry Quietly Took on the Trial, Fans Wonder ‘Where’s the Screaming?’

“I’d like to never do that again,” said GK Barry after completing the latest I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! trial, but it wasn’t her words that caught fans’ attention—it was her silence. In the most recent episode of the ITV reality show, campmates competed to win immunity from the next two vote-offs, guaranteeing them a spot in the final four and a chance to take on the notorious Celebrity Cyclone trial.

The celebrities were split into two groups of four, each facing off in a head-to-head challenge to collect tickets. The four contestants with the most tickets would go on to battle it out in Thursday night’s episode for the immunity prize. Podcaster and Loose Women star GK Barry, along with Coleen Rooney, Reverend Richard Coles, and Danny Jones, kicked off the trials. Their task was to retrieve coins from a container of fish guts and use them to operate a claw machine to grab balls filled with tickets, all while being pelted with bugs, reported by the Manchester Evening News.

But it was GK’s change in behavior that had fans talking. Known for her loud screams in previous trials, this time, viewers noticed she was unusually quiet. “GK seems to have forgotten to continually scream,” one viewer wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Is this one of the quietest trials bar a few screams from GK?” another fan questioned. One more added, “Funny that GK Barry got stuck in on this trial to win a place in Celebrity Cyclone without screaming.”

GK herself addressed the silence, admitting, “I didn’t even care about those cockroaches, I was shaking them off left, right and centre.” Despite her usual reactions to creepy crawlies, it seemed GK was focused on securing the immunity ticket. Fans appreciated her calm approach. “At least Maura is consistent with her screaming. GK screaming disappeared,” one person commented.

As the episode concluded, Ant and Dec returned to camp to announce the winners of the trial. The lucky celebrities who collected the most tickets were Danny, Coleen, Maura Higgins, and Oti Mabuse, securing their spots in the final contest for immunity. But for GK, it seems her focus on winning took precedence over the usual screams.
