ITV I'm A Celebrity's Richard Coles teases new TV stint with GK Barry in career announcement

Richard Coles, the well-known TV personality, has hinted at a potential new project with GK Barry after their time together in the Australian wilderness on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!

At 62, Richard developed a close friendship with GK, better known as Grace Keeling, while enduring the trials of this year's intense series. On Tuesday's edition of Loose Women, he seemed open to the idea of joining another challenging reality show with Grace.

During a reunion on the show with Loose Women regular Grace, presenter Charlene White asked if they had any plans for future collaborations. Richard responded, "Yeah, I think so; I mean, the SAS thing, you and me probably."

Grace, taken aback, exclaimed, "Wow! Can you imagine? "

To which Richard answered affirmatively, "Yes, I can imagine. What I would love to do is take some trips to some interesting places," He continued with a humourous twist, "Well, someone said I can take her to the opera, and she can take me for a vajazzle," reports the Mirror.

Social media platform X saw an influx of comments from fans who adored seeing the pair together on screen. One enthusiastic viewer posted: "Can't wait for Keeling's own show with Richard Coles as her sidekick. This is what ITV loves to see."

Another fan expressed amusement at Grace's wit, saying "GK Barry is so funny."

While another lauded Richard with the words, "Reverend Richard Coles, Saluted. Beautiful man."

Since they stepped out of the jungle, there's been a growing demand from viewers for more of Grace and Richard's on-screen camaraderie, with some even suggesting that the duo would be perfect for the next season of Celebrity Gogglebox on Channel 4.

While updating her fans on TikTok that she had returned to the UK after filming I'm A Celeb, fans quickly flooded the comment section with suggestions for the new role. One fan wrote, "Your friendship with Richard was so sweet. You two definitely need to be on Celebrity Gogglebox. Please put him on your podcast."

More comments came in, with one person writing: "You and the Rev need to go on Gogglebox”. Another social media user said: "Rev Richard for the podcast!"

While a third claimed: "You and Rev NEED a show together,” alongside the clapping emoji. With fans agreeing as one wrote: “Need a show with Rev called 'By The Grace of God.'"
