She then remembered one other prezzie, that was purchased with Ella in mind.
"The only other really expensive thing I've bought is an Xbox, to keep my girlfriend happy and to stop her moaning while I'm cooking dinner. Great investment. 10 out of 10," she said.
GK is among a host of stars to take part in Fabulous’ steamy new show.
In each episode, a reality star can ‘Spill or Chill’. They have to answer questions about relationships and sex that get progressively hotter as they sit baking in a sauna. But if they fail to ‘spill’ their secrets they will have to take the penalty of ‘chilling’ in a freezing cold plunge bath or bucket shower.

As well as talking about where she’s had cheeky snogs, TikToker Grace also opened up about the sweetest thing her girlfriend has ever done for her, why she prefers dating women to men, her bizarre ‘celebrity’ crush and why skiing is her dating ick.
I was really terrified to meet Ella
GK Barry
GK previously told Fabulous how apprehensive she was about telling her fans she was gay.
She said: “I was nervous to put it online because I had been talking about dating men and then it was like ‘actually I’m a lesbian so can you ignore what I said before’ you don’t know how people are going to react. But my audience is the girls and the gays.

“I know a lot of people are scared to come out to their parents. Luckily mine were lovely. My grandma is quite an old fashioned woman and has always said ‘when are you going to marry a rich man?’ But she heard me talk about Ella on Loose Women and she was alright with it.
“I've had so many messages saying ‘you gave me the confidence after 20 years to come out.’ The community is big if you are out and know about it but if you aren’t and can’t see people like yourself it can be hard.”
It was meeting Ella, who plays for Ipswich Town football club, that solidified Grace’s sexuality.
All in all, this is hell.

“I knew I was bi, but I was really scared to date a woman. It was territory I'd never been in. I was really terrified to meet Ella. We had a mutual friend. I looked at her Instagram and I thought, ‘look at the calves on that! There’s no way I’m letting her go.’ So I plucked up the courage and went on a date. It was the best decision ever. We have been inseparable since. We live together now. Sometimes she does drive me up the wall, but with love, of course.”
GK may have got up close and personal to creepy crawlies and rats in the jungle but she was less than thrilled facing the Fabulous challenge admitting: “I’m not happy about this. I don’t like cold water. I don’t like being too hot either. So all in all, this is hell.”
But will the social media star have to face the cold plunge?

The Saving Grace host also referred to herself as "wifey" adding further fuel to the rumour mill.
