Before meeting Ella Rutherford, she had previously only dated men.

GK Barry, whose real name is Grace Keeling, told co-star Dean McCullough: "It was by accident I found Ella, through a mutual friend and then I really liked her the first day I met her but I’d never told my parents.

“I’d mentioned, ‘Oh I’m just going to see my friend Ella’ or ‘I’m staying round Ella’s’ so they’d heard her name.”

Speaking about a situation when her parents came down to her house to visit when Ella was there, they asked: “Who's Ella?” and she told them: “Oh. she’s my girlfriend”.

She added: “They just love her, they never had an issue with it.

"To be fair I feel like the closet may have been glass!

“They’ve always said whoever you end up with we do not care, boy or girl we don’t care, as long as they’re not a d*ck.”

The Sun's Jane Moore - who is a panellist on Loose Women like Grace - added: “All you ever want is for your kids to be happy, it doesn’t matter who it’s with.”
