Internet sensation GK Barry has long referenced her sibling in quippy TikTok videos but keeps his private life under wraps.

Since shooting to fame in 2020, GK, real name Grace Keeling, has shared her family life with millions of devoted followers and even introduced the world to her parents in an episode of her Saving Grace podcast. But her brother Oli has mostly been referenced in the influencer's witty skits.

Ahead of her debut in the I'm A Celebrity....Get Me Out Of Here! jungle tonight, we look at the Youtuber's relationship with her older brother.

Oli is a creative producer based in New York City and has worked with impressive brands including Adidas, Lancôme and Vera Wang.

Raised by their mother Loretta and stepfather Andrew, GK has shared that she had a playful relationship with Oli when they were growing up.

Their humorous bond is reflected in GK's posts. Most recently, the TikTok creator shared an Instagram post about Oli's engagement and jokingly captioned it: "Brother's engaged, fuming he's back to being mum's favourite."

His fiancée, Anastasia, posted the engagement snap and shared a heartfelt caption with it. She wrote: "The hard launch of 9.17.24. I know my dad is looking down, so so happy that I get to spend the rest of my life with the man of my dreams. Also SO [shout out] to @kathryn_bentley_jewelry for the sickest ring - you did us good."

Ahead of GK's jungle debut, Anastasia recently shared an Instagram post from the official I'm A Celeb page, seemingly supporting her partner's sister.

The I'm A Celebrity contestant candidly posts stories of her upbringing with Oli. In a humorous clip from 2021, she revealed that he is their parents' favourite child.

She joked: "My brother could literally commit mass murder right? He could kill a priest. But somehow my parents will just be like 'Oh [that's just] Oli.' But if I do it. If I forget my keys once - when my parents are home to let me in - Jesus take the wheel. I would be hung, I would be sentenced to death."

GK light-heartedly added that although her parents deny the favouritism, she'll discover the truth in the will, saying, "It better be 50/50."

Before I'm A Celeb, GK Barry has already made several TV appearances, including on Loose Women and Love Island: Aftersun.
