Ant and Dec Tease GK Barry Over ‘Horseman Spider’ Blunder on I’m a Celebrity

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly poked fun at GK Barry on Instagram after a huntsman spider scuttled across their I’m a Celebrity set in Australia. The hosts shared a video with their 5.2 million followers, showing the large spider creeping across the wooden floor. The caption read: “A rare horseman spider on set #ImACeleb,” referencing GK Barry’s viral gaffe from Monday’s episode.

GK Barry, 25, mistakenly referred to a huntsman spider as a “horseman spider” during the show, leaving viewers in stitches. The social media influencer’s slip-up sparked a wave of amusement on X (formerly Twitter), with fans sharing their laughter over her error, reported by the Mirror.

However, Ant and Dec’s playful jab seemed lost on some Instagram users who missed or forgot GK’s earlier reference. While some corrected the hosts in the comments, others defended the duo. One fan clarified: “People not getting the joke – BUGGING me get it. GK called it a horseman they do know.”

In the jungle, GK’s encounter with the spider drew more online reactions. One user joked: “GK Barry calling the spider ‘a horseman’—hilarious!” Another added: “Thank God GK Barry is in this jungle; she’s comedy gold.”

The huntsman spider, known for hunting prey rather than spinning webs, made a surprise appearance on Ant and Dec’s presenting platform, located near the camp.

Meanwhile, GK Barry earned praise for her performance in the second Bushtucker Trial, “The Vile Volcano,” voted for by the public. She navigated a volcano-themed structure filled with caves, tunnels, and creepy crawlies to retrieve nine out of ten stars.

The trial was filled with snakes, spiders, rats, and other critters, but GK powered through amid screams and frequent swearing. Ant and Dec couldn’t help but laugh, commenting: “We’re going to need to bleep a lot of this!” Despite her fear, GK emerged victorious, earning meals for her campmates and proving her resilience in the face of jungle challenges.
