I’m a Celeb’s GK Barry sends sweet message to girlfriend Ella Rutherford after ‘secret communication’ was revealed

BEING thousands of miles apart hasn’t stopped I’m a Celeb star GK Barry from finding adorable ways to stay connected with her girlfriend.

During a segment on I’m a Celeb: Unpacked last night, Joel Dommett read out a selection of questions sent in for GK Barry by members of the public.

One of them asked: "Do you miss eyelashes or your phone more?"

Fans of the couple know that 'eyelashes' is a secret code name GK uses for Ella Rutherford.

Without hesitation, the TikTok star replied: "My girlfriend – I miss her so much. I love you!"

Joel, seemingly unaware of the reference, chuckled and said: "Neither of the options, I like that."

However, Ella will no doubt know what her girlfriend meant and appreciate getting a shout out from the jungle.

Fans previously spotted another sweet tribute to Ella - GK’s necklace doesn’t have her own name on it but instead says eyelashes.

The nickname stems from Ella’s reputation for having the best fake eyelashes in town.

In the jungle, GK opened up to her campmates about her relationship, sharing how she met Ella through a mutual friend and instantly felt a connection.

"I really liked her the first day I met her," GK admitted.

Initially she introduced Ella to her parents as a friend, before revealing they were dating.

"They just love her, they never had an issue with it," she added.

Before entering the jungle, GK made sure to send a heartfelt gift to her other half.

Ella shared a snap of the bouquet complete with a sweet note on social media, confessing they brought her to tears.
