I'm A Celeb's Richard Coles confirms future plans with GK Barry in five-word statement

In the most recent series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, ITV viewers saw McFly's Danny Jones crowned the King of the Jungle. Following close behind was Coleen Rooney, who was the runner-up, and Reverend Richard Coles, who finished third.

Despite not walking away with the crown, Richard came away from the show with an unlikely friendship with Loose Women star Grace 'GK' Barry. As their dynamic had viewers in hysterics a lot of the time, many called for them to have their own show in the outside world.

While appearing on Wednesday's instalment of Lorraine, Richard teased that fans could be getting what they've asked for Lorraine commented: "You were very much at the heart of that show and everybody came to you, just to talk to you because you're so easy to talk to.

"But you two, everybody was speculating, can you do something together?" Not mincing his words, Richard confirmed there was something in the works. "We are going to do something together," he said.

"We're actually having a meeting," he announced in a five-word statement. "Later today, and we're going to see. I'm taking her to the opera!

"We're going to explore our worlds, so I'm taking her to the opera and she's taking me to, shall we say, a spa day with some intimate grooming."

Unsure whether or not that was a good idea, Lorraine grimaced as she told Richard he was in for a shock. He replied: "She told me what it is and I thought it was a vuvuzela which you get in the World Cup, but it's a vajazzle."

Lorraine told Richard that whatever GK has in store for him, it'll be a whole new world for him to experience. She commented: "It'll be an interesting one!"

At the end of last year, viewers saw GK and Richard reunite on-screen when he appeared on Loose Women to discuss his time on the show.

Although the duo seem to have their own show in the works, fans are calling for them to appear on Celebrity Gogglebox. One person commented: "Your friendship with Richard was so sweet. You two definitely need to be on Celebrity Gogglebox. Please put him on your podcast."

Someone else begged: "You and the Rev need to go on Gogglebox”. Agreeing, one fan wrote: "Grace gave us some of the best conversations with Richard, I need a celeb gogglebox episode with them two as soon as I’m going to miss them."

Lorraine continues weekdays on ITV from 9am.
