I’m A Celeb Cast Falls Silent After Danny and Maura’s Kiss Scandal

The I’m A Celebrity cast has experienced a decline in communication following the kiss between Danny Jones and Maura Higgins. GK Barry noted that their group WhatsApp chat is not as vibrant as it once was. Meanwhile, GK is excited about her new role at BBC Radio 1, marking a bright turn after the jungle.

It seems the drama from the Australian jungle has made its way into the real world—yet again. Former I’m A Celebrity star GK Barry, otherwise known as Grace Keeling, shared that the group WhatsApp chatter among last year’s cast has hit a lull following the not-so-innocent kiss between Danny Jones and Maura Higgins. You might remember their surprise smooch at a BRIT Awards after party that left many shaking their heads and saying, “Really, lads?”

Following that kiss, Danny, who’s committed to podcaster Georgia Jones, stepped up and apologised, issuing a remorseful social media post. That’s one way to try to get back in the good books, right? Meanwhile, Maura’s silence has made her the mysterious figure in this love triangle—no word from her yet on the scandal.

Now, GK is sounding off about the state of the group’s chat, revealing the lively banter has fizzled out. “You can imagine it, it’s died down,” she remarked, probably much like a party after the clock strikes midnight. Though some members, like GK, have kept the chatter going with a few pals, overall, it seems the excitement has dwindled.

While chatting with Katie Price on her podcast, Grace noted that she’s still close with the Reverend Richard Coles and Dean McCullough, while others, not so much. “I still chat a bit with Melvin too,” she added, hinting at a few solid friendships amidst the chaos. Everyone was good pals once, but now it’s a bit like a former group project where only a couple of people actually do the work.

A quick flashback to April reveals the group chat was buzzing back then, with Dean, the ever-enthusiastic Radio 1 DJ, sharing the lively antics they were up to. That’s when he said the group was a riot, with offbeat photos swapping hands—like Coleen on the school run! Or the Reverend showing off his fancy dress attire. A nun, if you can believe it. Who knew jungle folk had such entertaining lives post-TV?

As for GK, she’s on quite the upswing since her jungle adventure. Recently landing a slot as a regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women and a presenter role at BBC Radio 1, she’s hitting all the right notes. Starting July 4, she’ll be on air every weekend, eager to connect with listeners and share some summer fun. “This is completely different from podcasting — I really can’t wait to engage with everyone live!” she exclaimed, embodying that radio spirit of excitement.

In the aftermath of Danny and Maura’s kiss, the camaraderie among the I’m A Celeb cast has noticeably quieted, leaving some members wondering what’s next. GK Barry has stated the group chat’s activity has lessened and friendships appear to be dwindling, but few are still keeping in touch. Amidst the drama, GK is clearly moving onward and upwards, making waves in the media scene.
