I’m A Celeb's GK Barry strikes up most unlikely friendship

ok.co.uk:

I’m A Celebrity’s Reverend Richard Coles has only been in main camp for a matter of days thanks to being held in the Junkyard, but he’s already making friends and one of which is 25-year-old GK Barry.

During tonight’s episode (Monday 25 November) the pair got talking and began to bond over a shared experience. Speaking to Richard about juggling his sexuality and religion, GK asked him whether he finds it ‘difficult being gay’ and ‘doing that job?’.To which Richard confessed: “No, not at all.

I’ve never given it a moment’s twinge of anxiety over whether God thought it was alright or not. Whether other people thought it was alright or not, well I’m happy to have that argument…” As the pair continued to talk, Richard added: “Also, I was not the first.

Sometimes I look at documents from the early church, or the church of the middle ages and I just think - so gay.” In a private talk afterwards in the Bush Telegraph GK said: “I came into this jungle, maybe not knowing who I would gel with or who I would be close with in here and never in a million years if you told me that I would be getting on best with a reverend would I have believed you.
