But fans have rounded on Grace, 25, for how she dealt with the difficult subject matter and accused her of platforming “harmful behaviour” and a “disgrace to feminism".

Thousands have shared their concerns her 3.6million TikTok followers are largely under 20 - and questioned jungle bosses decision to sign her up for ITV’s family friend show.

One wrote online: “Her audience is 13-20 year old girls. Young and impressionable. This is not the message young girls should be hearing. We need to start de-platforming.”

Another added: “Gk Barry having bonnie blue on her pod and AGREEING with the harmful s*** she was saying is beyond disappointing. Do better babe.”

A third said: “GK Barry agreed with all Bonnie said and it's sickening. What was said is disturbing and has nout to do with feminism. The glorification of [sex work]  has put girls and young women in serious danger.”

And a fourth added: “Noooo Grace. You're so much better than this Grace.”

GK has become a regular on ITV’s Loose Women panel ahead of her stint on primetime show I’m A Celebrity.

Bonnie went on a tour of universities during Freshers Week, aiming to sleep with as many students as possible for free, as long as she could upload the footage to OnlyFans.

One clip from the podcast has gone viral, where Bonnie discusses sleeping with a father and son.

The adult star says: “When the son first saw me with his dad, I thought he was going to tell me off but he wasn’t, he was jealous and wanted to join in."

Laughing, Grace then goes on to question who was the better lover as Bonnie then revealed the man was cheating on his wife.
