Everyone is saying the same thing about GK Barry and Reverend Richard Coles after tonight’s episode of I’m A Celebrity.
The 62-year-old joined the series as a late arrival alongside Maura Higgins last week, and finally joined the main camp on Sunday night after completing their secret mission.
Since joining the rest of the celebrities in main camp, Richard has formed an unlikely friendship with podcaster and social media star GK Barry – despite their 37 year age gap.
During tonight’s episode, Richard spoke to GK about juggling his sexuality and religion.
GK asked, “Did you find it quite difficult being gay and doing that job?” and Richard confessed, “No, not at all.”
“I’ve never given it a moment’s twinge of anxiety over whether God thought it was alright or not. Whether other people thought it was alright or not, well I’m happy to have that argument…”
He added of his sexuality: “Also, I was not the first. Sometimes I look at documents from the early church, or the church of the middle ages and I just think – so gay.”
GK admitted in the Bush Telegraph: “I came into this jungle, maybe not knowing who I would gel with or who I would be close with in here…
Aand never in a million years if you told me that I would be getting on best with a Reverend would I have believed you. But, he is honestly… I think he might be my favourite person in here.”
GK told Richard she used to be religious, and spoke about going to a religious camp when she was younger, where there were men telling her not to have sex before she was married.
She said that even at 13, she thought: “Well, that’s not gonna happen. I see my future and it involves scissoring now.”
In a hilarious moment, Richard then asked GK what “scissoring” was, and she explained that it was a “lesbian thing” and he was better off not knowing.
At the end of their conversation, GK asked Richard who’s the most interesting person he’s ever met, and he replied: “I think I’m looking at her.”
Viewers have since flocked to social media to brand GK and Richard their “new favourite duo”, and even called for them to be the next camp leaders.
