Boasting a whopping 3.3 million followers on TikTok, GK Barry, real moniker Grace Keeling, has made a successful career out of the popular video streaming app.<\/p>\n

And now, the 24-year-old influencer is hoping to crack the TV industry, after a recent stint on Don't Look Down for Stand Up 2 Cancer, where she starred alongside names such as Paddy McGuinness, Kimberley Wyatt and Chris Hughes.<\/p>\n

Looking to make the move from social media to the small screen more permanent, Grace told OK!<\/b>: "I'd absolutely love to do more TV. I want to be Alan Carr but with breasts!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"His old talk show, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, is the vibe that I'd actually love. I think a presenting job like that is the ultimate end goal for me."<\/p>\n

Beginning her TikTok account in 2020, Grace quickly shot to fame shortly after posting a number of relatable videos, leading to her making the platform her full-time job and step down from working at Costa Coffee.<\/p>\n

Already on the right path, Grace hosts the podcast Saving Grace, where she has welcomed a multitude of celebrities, including Alison Hammond, Katie Price, Mark Wright and Madison Beer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She has also formed even more connections from her stint on Don't Look Down, which saw a group of celebrities head to the Alps to master the art of high-wire walking.<\/p>\n

The show has opened up Grace's audience from social media to mainstream TV, which comes with both positives and negatives. <\/p>\n

"Going on to the show, I went in blind and didn't get any tips, because I didn't really know anyone who had done a show like this before. I'm not sure whether that was a good or bad thing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I didn't realise, going in to it, how much hate you can get online from being on TV. You're reaching out to different audiences, whereas, before I was very comfortable with my teenage and young adult audience.<\/p>\n

"But now, it's a place where some older people are watching, and, they might not get my humour or like me. So I'm learning to deal with and not concentrate on that."<\/p>\n

Grace continued: "It can be difficult because I'll see people posting things like: 'This girl is so unfunny and is trying too hard', which really makes you second guess yourself. Because then I think: 'Am I not funny? Am I trying to o hard?, which can make you question things."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
