GK Barry’s mum Loretta has spoken out about her daughter’s sex chats with Rev Richard Coles in the I’m a Celebrity jungle.
Richard, 62, and Loose Women star GK, 25, have become this year’s surprise I’m a Celebrity friendship.
Viewers recently watched as GK – real name Grace – opened up to the former Strictly Come Dancing star about her sexuality.
Landing in Australia ahead of the first eviction on Friday night, Loretta spoke to The Sun about the unlikely pals.
She said: “For me, it’s Richard Coles and Grace. I think it’s bloomin’ brilliant, absolutely spot on.
“When I heard he was coming in, I actually thought, ‘That would be good’ – and look what’s happened.”
When asked about their frank conversations, Loretta added: “We want more!”
GK, who is currently in a relationship with Ella Rutherford, previously told Richard: “The thought of sleeping with a man again makes me want to claw my skin off.
“And I always thought why do I always lay there with the lights off and top on waiting for it to be over.
“[It’s] because I like women. It makes a lot of sense, took me 25 years but that’s where we are.”
Richard asked for clarification as he said: “Lights off, top off, waiting to be over?”
“Yeah, that was story of my life for a hot minute,” she stated back.
“I think that’s a rather common experience,” Richard jokingly replied.
During his time in the jungle Richard has opened up about losing his partner Rev David Coles to alcoholism in 2019.
The couple had been together for 12 years and we in a civil partnership.
Richard told Oti Mabuse: “I miss him… He’s just left a massive hole in my life and I’m living my life around that loss.”
