LOOSE Women’s Frankie Bridge clashed with TikTok star GK Barry live on air saying ‘that was a backhanded compliment’.
The 24-year-old appeared on the ITV show as part of today’s panel.
GK joined Denise Welch, 66, Kaye Adams, 61, and Frankie, 35, on the programme – and her co-stars continued to make jokes about how Frankie wasn’t the youngest panellist anymore.
The Loose Women were discussing career changes, and how GK had got into social media.
GK, real name Grace Eleanor Keeling, confessed: “I just fell into it…
“Do you know what though, I always wanted to be one of The Saturdays.
“When I grew up I got no GCSEs because I was like, ‘I’ll just be Frankie'”.
An unimpressed Frankie then pulled a face and said: “That felt like a backhanded compliment!”
GK shot to fame on social media during the coronavirus lockdown in 2020.
Over the years she’s become a huge internet sensation and now boasts 3.6m followers on TikTok.
She has her own podcast Saving Grace and is also a PrettyLittleThing ambassador.
Back in June it was revealed that she was in advanced talks to join Strictly.
A source said: “Grace has had two meetings with Strictly about appearing on the show.
“She has a huge following on social media and bosses think she would be perfect for the younger audience they try and draw in.
“Grace knows this is an opportunity to become more of a household name, even though she is already hugely popular online.
“She is super keen to get on board.”
