Loose Women: GK Barry discusses facing bullying at school
GK Barry, the well-known YouTube star, recently opened up about her challenging school days while appearing on ITV's Loose Women, sending a powerful message to past bullies.
Grace Keeling, better known as GK Barry online, joined the Loose Women panel this past Thursday to talk about the highs and lows of school life.
Alongside seasoned presenters, Kaye Adams, Denise Welch, and Frankie Bridge, Grace discussed whether popularity at school equates to a happier experience.
During the show, Grace candidly recounted how she wasn't one of the popular kids, despite trying to fit in with the cool crowd during her school years. Her witty personality was what helped her navigate those tough times, even if she felt she didn't fully blend with the more prominent groups.
In a moment that resonated with many viewers, GK Barry shared an empowering perspective, asserting: "The people that were ever horrible to me, I don't know what they're doing now, they're so irrelevant to me now. And that's amazing."

As audience members expressed their support with applause, the 24-year-old divulged the catalyst behind her recognisable humour: "I think the only reason that I became- some would argue- funny, was because I thought 'I've got to have something here. I need something!", reports the Mirror.
The fan response to her appearance on the show was overwhelmingly positive, with one admirer commenting: "I'm actually liking Grace, she's funny, relaxed and doesn't seem to take herself too seriously."
One admirer gushed: "Who the hell is the other young lady in the middle? I have never seen or heard of her before, she is a good-looking lass and I love her Essex voice, she will attract a lot of blokes watching loose women now."
