I’m a Celeb star GK Barry has revealed Miranda Hart as the inspiration for her comedy.
The Loose Women star and content creator is one of 10 contestants currently being doused in bugs in the I’m a Celeb jungle, and used some rare downtime in the camp to discuss her upbringing and sexuality.
Barry, who is speculated to be earning low five-figures for her participation in the show, told her campmates that she first discovered comedy through studying episodes of Hart’s hit BBC sitcom.
“I used to watch the boxsets of Miranda to learn how to be funny,” she said, adding that it wasn’t until she began cracking jokes that she overcame her insecurities as a teenager. “I was really lanky,” she said. “Buck teeth. Gap. Hairy arms. Greasy hair.”
