Biography

Originally known for her candid and hilarious approach to social media, GK Barry has become one of the most sought-after content creators in the UK across Gen-Z audiences and beyond. With her unique blend of relatable content and sharp wit, she has garnered a fiercely loyal following of over 6 million across all platforms.

Grace was one of the first digitally native talents to cross over into mainstream endeavours and has built an impressive career spanning radio, TV, publishing, podcasting, presenting and more. After a memorable stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, she became the youngest panellist in Loose Women history and has since joined Jimmy Carr and Jamali Maddix on Comedy Central’s Am I the A**hole? and the line-up of ITV’s Celebrity Sabotage. Her latest role sees her co-hosting ITV2’s Big Brother: The Group Chat with Kate Lawler. On the radio, she has made herself at home at BBC Radio 1, first presenting the weekend afternoon show and fronting her own run of daytime shows.

Her top-charting podcast, Saving Grace, has taken her on three sell-out tours and a Wembley live show. Now she has added author to her list of titles with her debut book, It’s Giving Life, published in September. Through her platforms, she has fostered a sense of community where her fans feel heard and understood, often encouraging them to embrace their true selves without fear of judgment.

TESTIMONIALS

Grace was an absolute highlight at the show and a delight to deal with. She owned the Podcasting stage, and we had to turn away attendees due to overcapacities. Her talk around the intricacies of shifting from a short form creator to the longer form and terrestrial worlds exemplified exactly the kind of honest and veritable creator conversations we want at SXSW.
