Social media star GK Barry is reportedly in "advanced" talks about taking part in Strictly Come Dancing.

Social media star Grace Keeling - better known as GK Barry - is reportedly in "advanced" talks about appearing on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

The 24-year-old started her social media career during lockdown and now boasts an audience of millions on YouTube and TikTok, while her podcast Saving Grace regularly attracts celebrity guests such as Rylan Clark and Ella Toone.

Strictly has a tendency to include a social media star in its lineup, with the likes of Saffron Barker and Joe Sugg having appeared in recent years, and according to The Sun, GK Barry is the producers' top choice this year.

"Grace has had two meetings with Strictly about appearing on the show," a source told the newspaper.

"She has a huge following on social media and bosses think she would be perfect for the younger audience they try and draw in.

"Grace knows this is an opportunity to become more of a household name, even though she is already hugely popular online. She is super keen to get on board."

The new series of Strictly is due to begin on BBC One in September.
