Loose Women panellist GK Barry has claimed that The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh "hated" her and Chloe Burrows when they met at this year's Soccer Aid for Unicef charity football match. She made the remarks on her podcast, Saving Grace, while chatting with guest Chloe Burrows about the event.
GK said: "Bradley Walsh hated me and Chloe. If there was a word for more than hated, it would be that." She recalled: "Do you remember we walked out and he was there and I went, 'I love The Chase' and he went 'get your boots on'. I was like… S**t."
Charity match awkward moments
Chloe joked: "Has anyone told him it's for charity? For a laugh? To raise money for Unicef? A really important cause?" GK bluntly added: "We're not in the Prem."
GK also shared a story about having to speak on microphones for a social media video, recalling that the ITV presenter screamed "Quick. Get them back on," which left her thinking "F***ing hell."
Viral moment and Loose Women future
GK went viral for missing a pass from Soccer Aid teammate Tom Grennan because she was busy doing a celebration dance on the pitch. The ball sailed past her moments after she was subbed on as a midfielder, and she was swiftly subbed off.
Away from the pitch, GK has been appearing on Loose Women. An ITV schedule shake-up means the show now airs just 30 weeks of the year, but GK vowed to stay for "as long as they want me". She said: "I love Loose Women. I always look forward to doing a show on there because it's always such good vibes. The women are hilarious. It is nice that we've still got a show on daytime TV that's just women-focused. You can't beat it."
Coleen Rooney's advice
The same year she joined Loose Women, GK took part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, where Coleen Rooney was runner-up to Danny Jones. GK came fifth. She said Coleen helped inspire her viral moment at Soccer Aid when they met at the training camp.
GK explained: "She came on the last day with the kids to see Wayne [who also played] so I cornered her and asked her for help because I wasn't very good at football. She didn't give me any tips but she did just say, 'Think of the bar afterwards.' I just thought, 'That's a great way to think about it.' And I did."
