GK Barry reveals reason I'm A Celeb cast no longer speak seven months after show – and Maura and Danny's drunken kiss
I'M A Celeb star GK Barry has split the tea on her relationship with her former campmates - and who she's still in contact with. Speaking on The Katie Price podcast, the GK told the former glamour model how the group has disintegrated - just seven months after forming a jungle bond. 5 5 TV star Katie inquired if she still communicated with her 2024 camp buddies. The 47-year-old asked: 'Have you kept in contact, because this is another thing, when I've done Big Brother and all of that, you're like, Yeah, I'll stay in contact... "But you know the ones you'll stay in contact with and some you just know… in the beginning you text and then…' GK admitted: 'We had a group chat. It has died down slightly as you can imagine, it's died down." She added: 'But I still keep in contact with the Rev [ Richard Coles] - and Dean [McCullough] I still keep in contact with a little bit, but mainly the Rev and Melvin [Odoom]." The 25-year-old concluded: 'I keep in contact with Melvin quite a lot.' The internet personality entered the I'm A Celeb Jungle last year and quickly became a fan favourite and ended up placing fifth. Following her TV stint she went on to make multiple appearances on daytime TV show Loose Women. Back in April, the group was still active and radio star Dean lifted the lid on what went on in the cast's infamous WhatsApp thread. Before the group fell apart, he said: "No, no one's left. Everyone's in it. Everyone's chatting away. "I just love it because you'll just wake up one morning, and there'll just be a picture of Coleen [Rooney] on the school run with the kids, or Richard the other day sent us a picture of him at 10 o'clock in the morning in full fancy dress. "He was dressed as a nun. Everyone's in it, of course, and excited to meet up again." While love is in bloom for GK and her footballer girlfriend Ella Rutherford, McFly star Danny 's marriage to his wife Georgia has been rocked since appearing on the show. Singer Danny, 39, has been trying to move on from the fall out from his "drunken kiss" with Maura Higgins, 34, at the Brit Awards. The pair starred alongside GK in the 2024 series of I'm A Celeb. Wife and podcaster Georgia - who briefly moved out of the family home following the kiss scandal - was reportedly "furious" at the way the Star Girl singer had handled the aftermath of the scandal. A few of the campmates are set to be working together soon, which could make things very awkward for Maura and Danny. Georgia broke her silence on social media after three months on from the kiss and posted her first photo of her husband in a Father's Day tribute. 5 5 5

Gogglebox star looks completely unrecognisable in rare snap as she reunites with her famous sister - almost a decade after appearing together on the Channel 4 show
Former Gogglebox star Ava-Grace Moffatt looked unrecognisable as she reunited with famous sister Scarlett on Thursday. The reality star, 18, who rose to fame as a youngster and is now in University, cut a trendy figure in the rare snap with her sibling, 34, almost a decade after they appeared together on the Channel 4 show. Ava cut a trendy figure in a Guns N' Roses T-shirt which she teamed with a hoodie and headscarf while posing with Scartlett at a train station. The former I'm A Celeb star beamed while shelling her eyes behind huge shades and captioned the snap: 'Sister Day'. The Moffatt family joined Gogglebox in 2014 during the third series, with Scarlett quickly becoming a fan favourite for her outspoken personality. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Initially appearing with just her parents, Mark and Betty, Scarlett was later joined by Ava from series seven, before they all exited in 2016. Following the family's stint on Gogglebox Ava and the family joined Scarlett in Australia when she hosted the I'm A Celeb spin-off after winning the main show in 2016. In 2019 the family also appeared in The Tribe Next Door Channel Four documentary that saw them live alongside the Himba community in a Namibian tribal village, in an exact replica of their parents Newcastle home. But the experiment hit the headlines and branded 'twisted' and 'harmful' by activist charity, while angry fans said the show 'screams privilege'. It comes just days after it was revealed Scarlett was reportledy in talks to join the All Stars version of I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here! She was crowned Queen of the Jungle back in 2016, so her appearance on All Stars would mark her tenth anniversary of winning the show. Filming is set to start in South Africa later this year with a source telling The Sun: 'Scarlett won I'm A Celeb in 2016 and was hugely popular with viewers, so everyone's really excited she might be returning for the new All Stars series. 'She is so game for a laugh and knows what to expect in terms of the Bushtucker Trials, so she'll throw herself into every task. 'Scarlett is a mum now and she wants to do it to show her little boy how brave she can be.' MailOnline have contacted Scarlett's representatives and ITV for comment. It was revealed in February that Ant and Dec would be returning to host another All Stars series. A source close to the production revealed: 'It did well last time and while they can't do it annually, they wanted to do another.' The first series featured a star-studded lineup of former contestants, including boxing champion Amir Khan, Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, TV presenter Carol Vorderman and Olympic athlete Fatima Whitbread. Series six runner-up Myleene Klass was crowned the winner after defeating series 16 campmate Jordan Banjo in the final survival trial. A spin-off of the original I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, the special is filmed in Kruger National Park, South Africa, where celebrities take on various challenges in a basic, luxury-free camp. Unlike the original format, however, the all-star series does not allow viewers to vote for contestants to face Bushtucker Trials. Instead, the campmates battle it out for the title of 'Legend,' departing from the traditional crowning of a Jungle King or Queen. The I'm A Celebrity… South Africa special garnered strong viewership, with an average of 5.5 million viewers tuning in per episode.

Sam Thompson reveals Soccer Aid appearance is hanging by a thread – and horrifying after-effects of 260 mile bike ride
SAM Thompson has revealed his Soccer Aid appearance is hanging in the balance as he continues to recover from his gruelling charity run. The I'm A Celeb king, 34, raised more than £1.5m for Unicef by running and biking 260 miles from Stamford Bridge, Chelsea, to Old Trafford, Manchester, where the game will be played at the weekend. 4 Sam carried the matchday ball in a backpack for the duration of the journey and was joined by famous pals at various points as they tried to motivate him through the pain barrier. Speaking on Hits Radio today, Sam revealed his battered body is still suffering. He said: "I am so tired but elated. I'm so glad we got it done... "Never again [am I getting on a bike] I think I'm prone to saddle issues! After day one I still to this point can't feel bits of my privates. I'm being deadly serious! "The bike is a wild thing, Tracey who was with me going up these hills when we were skirting round the edge of Wales, that was mad and you're just going so slowly and you feel like your bike is going to topple over! I did think to myself this is the first time I've ridden a bike in so long..." Detailing how adapting for one leg issue has aggravated others, Sam continued: "Because I was running in a different way my shin was really inflamed so I couldn't even run on my tiptoes so I was running side to side. "I describe it as plugging holes, so like the calf tears so that's one hole you've got to plug so then I run on my tiptoes with my leg straight. "OK well that then messes up my ankle ligaments because everything is running through your ankle; then your ankle ligament explodes so then you can't do that... you're trying to play chess against yourself, whilst trying not to panic because I can't move my leg and it's still pretty bad." Though it's up in the air if he'll be fit in time to step onto the pitch at the weekend, Sam is still going to be a presence at training sessions in the build up under the care of Gary the physio. He said: "I'm just going to go lie on his bed every single day and get a rub down...!" Sam Thompson breaks down in tears as he's comforted by sister Louise and family after completing 260-mile endurance challenge on This Morning Sam cuddled his sister Louise after finishing the challenge but his girlfriend Samie Elishi wasn't in attendance. He also received a phone call from Orlando Bloom in the This Morning studio who congratulated him on the superhuman effort. Chris Hughes, Ryan Libbey and Josh Patterson were all on hand at various points of the challenge to offer support. This Sunday's game will see huge celebs battle it out in an England XI v World XI. The teams are being managed by Tyson Fury and Wayne Rooney, respectively. 4

The next stop was members' club White City House in west London, where they partied until 1am before leaving arm in arm to tumble into a taxi. Maura ditched the glam for the fun night out, choosing a casual look of an off-the-shoulder taupe sweater paired with low-rise white jeans. The beauty looked gorgeous with a slick of deep red lipstick and comfy flat boots completing her low-key chic look. The pair of Instagram sensations - Maura boasts 4.1m followers whilst Luke has 1.6m - captured their night on camera, filming a jokey video of themselves almost kissing during their lavish dinner.

The I'm A Celeb star hit London with her influencer pal Luke Hamnett, kicking off their night with a four hour dinner and drinks at posh Mayfair restaurant Maine Maura and Luke have been inseparable in recent weeks, jetting to Mykonos together for a brand event last week. Love Island favourite Maura has been throwing herself into work since her starring role on I'm A Celeb rounded off her successful 2024. In March her 'drunken kiss' with I'm A Celeb campmate Danny Jones hit the headlines. Maura and Danny, 39, were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty, after appearing on I'm A Celeb together last year. The married singer is said to no longer have a 'normal relationship' with his wife Georgia, 38, and while they are still living under the same roof, they now have 'separate lives'. Both Danny and Maura have generally kept away from public events since the scandal, until her big red carpet return at May's TV BAFTAs, where she kept mum on the kiss. She wasn't at risk of any awkward reunions with Danny as he reportedly skipped the ceremony to avoid 'putting a foot wrong' with his wife. Danny previously issued a public apology to Georgia and their seven-year-old son Cooper, admitting he was 'deeply sorry' and vowing to deal with things privately. Sources previously claimed to MailOnline that despite their efforts, the couple are like 'passing ships' and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread. A source said: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes. 'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships. 'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile. 'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends.

D*** Pics, Orgies and KGB Honeytraps: Truth About the U.K.‘s Last Conservative Government
The reputation of the British Conservative party for being an unlikely redoubt of sex-mad libertines has been burnished after a series of lurid revelations by a senior lawmaker in The Times of London. Highlights include a member of parliament getting rescued at 4am from the clutches of 12 naked women in a brothel they had been taken to by KGB agents, and a special adviser to the government going to an orgy and 'taking a crap on another person's head.' The extraordinary revelations are contained in the unputdownable memoir of Simon Hart, who served as chief whip under the ill-starred former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who suffered a record defeat in the 2024 U.K. elections. Government whips are responsible for enforcing party discipline and, as such, are traditionally privy to jaw-dropping political gossip. Individual politicians also sometimes turn to whips as a last resort to extract them from sticky situations. Hart's book Ungovernable portrays a chaotic and ill-disciplined governing party, with individuals spiraling out of control as it approaches its inevitable doom. Hart oversaw a near record fifteen Conservative Members of Parliament resign, defect or have the whip suspended, including Matt Hancock, a senior lawmaker who was suspended for making an unauthorized appearance on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. Matt addresses the elephant in the room and answers the big questions dominating camp… #ImACeleb — I'm A Celebrity... (@imacelebrity) November 11, 2022 However it is the sexual peccadilloes of his colleagues which have inevitably attracted the most attention. In one incident, Hart recounts how a 'house employee' [as in the House of Commons] was fired after it emerged they had gone 'to a party dressed as [notorious sex offender] Jimmy Savile and ended up having sex with a blow-up doll.' On another occasion, one of Hart's team, described as a 'younger whip,' turns up to work 'with a broken rib, apparently the result of an energetic night with his new girlfriend.' Hart comments, 'Oh, to be young again!' Hart also gives an insight into how the party checks new candidates standing for election, saying that 'a fair few fail the vetting process' for sending 'd--- pictures.' He adds that one wannabe candidate claimed 'that a photo of his penis had been sent in error to a contact, rather than his doctor as intended.' The excuse was not believed and the person was not selected. He also describes how politicians are actively warned to be on the lookout for honeytraps, and says he received a security brief advising him and his team that on no account should they 'engage in a chat with any unusually beautiful Chinese women (or men, I guess).' In this context, one minister tells them, 'If you think you are punching above your weight, ask yourself why.' Prime Minister Sunak resigned on July 5, 2024 after leading the Conservative party to a historic defeat at the hands of Labour's Keir Starmer.
