I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here star\u00a0GK Barry<\/a>\u00a0has revealed she’s in hospital with her girlfriend Ella Rutherford. <\/p>\n

The social media<\/a> star, who was a fan favourite on the hit\u00a0ITV<\/a>\u00a0show, posted the scary news on her Instagram<\/a> story. <\/p>\n

The photo showed GK – real name Grace Keeling, 25 – sitting in a hospital waiting room chair and was captioned:’Currently in A&E with Ella, the emetophobia and germ phobia has been confirmed.’<\/p>\n

She continued: ‘Walked in to a woman throwing up and passing out. If I ever break a bone or do anything that needs me to attend A&E just let me die.’ <\/p>\n

While it’s clear that it’s Ella and not GK in hospital, it remains unclear what caused the pair to make the emergency visit. <\/p>\n

According to the NHS, emetophobia is a fear or anxiety of oneself vomiting or seeing other people vomit. It can be associated with a fear of losing control, or the feeling of being unable to escape from somewhere. <\/p>\n

GK has previously spoken about having this phobia, so the moment the couple experienced in A&E was likely extremely upsetting for GK.<\/p>\n

When the podcast host first arrived to take on\u00a0Ant McPartlin<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Declan Donnelly<\/a>\u2019s bushtucker trials in the jungle competition, alongside the likes of\u00a0Reverand Richard Coles<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Coleen Rooney<\/a>, she was quickly faced with her fear. <\/p>\n

She told fans online before arriving in the jungle that she was terrified of \u2018everything\u2019, adding: \u2018I haven\u2019t slept in a month. I am scared of the trials and I am genuinely scared of everything.<\/p>\n

\u2018The eating trial to me is the worst thing you can do to a human being.\u2019<\/p>\n

She explained further during an appearance on Loose Women, saying: \u2018Whether it\u2019s me being unwell or other people being unwell near me, actual vomit, I didn\u2019t realise that was a thing because no one actually likes vomit.\u2019<\/p>\n

She went on to say she went to see a professional because she was \u2018so scared of flying\u2019 and didn\u2019t know why, and she was told it was linked to the travel sickness she suffered from as a child.<\/p>\n

\u2018It used to make me panic when I would be sick because I didn\u2019t know what to do and now I just associate that panic with sick.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve had so many traumatic\u2026 someone threw up on me on a bus, I hope he\u2019s doing well in hell, nasty.<\/p>\n

 would struggle so much with getting on public transport, I would look at someone and if they were fidgeting, I\u2019d be like, \u201cThey\u2019re going to vomit\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n

She went on to say she couldn\u2019t use public transport or toilets, and was so scared of being ill.<\/p>\n

\u2018I absolutely would despise being around kids because they were unwell, or just carrying loads of germs.\u2019<\/p>\n
