Saving Grace is a podcast presented by GK Barry. Launched in April 2022, [1] Barry launched the podcast at the suggestion of The Fellas Studios, who were looking to diversify into video podcasts; [1] her first guest was TikTok er Max Balegde. [2] Most episodes were recorded in a studio in Hackney in London, [1] though she started touring the podcast in early 2023; [3] this sold out in two minutes. A June episode featured her then-boyfriend. [1]
By October 2023, she had interviewed Jamie Laing, Mark Wright, Katie Price, Georgia Harrison, Rob Beckett, and Mae Muller; [4] by January, the podcast had 740,000 monthly listeners and Madison Beer and Alison Hammond had appeared. [1] Barry mounted a subsequent tour, The Size Matters Tour, in February 2024; [4] its guests included Gemma Collins, Price, and Hannah Elizabeth [2] and its venues included the London Palladium. [1] She also released an episode featuring Chunkz and Yung Filly that month, but later pulled it following multiple allegations of rape against the latter. [2]
In June 2024, Edison Research found that the podcast had the fifth largest weekly audience of any podcast in the UK during the first quarter of that year. [5] A 23 October 2024 episode featuring Bonnie Blue went viral following Barry being announced for the twenty-fourth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! shortly afterwards [6] and was subsequently pulled; [7] by the time her participation was announced, she had recorded over 100 episodes [8] and her guests had included Alan Carr, Louise Pentland, [9] and Ella Rutherford, Barry's girlfriend. [10] Among her campmates on I'm a Celebrity was future interviewee Richard Coles. [11] She then mounted a September 2025 tour, The Jungle Fever Tour, which took its name from that series's filming location. [12]
Barry ends episodes by asking her guests what they would do to "save Grace", Barry's real name, [13] and regularly asks guests about the intimate details of their sex lives. In January 2024, Dusty Baxter-Wright of Cosmopolitan attributed Barry's ability to do this to her openness with her own private life. [1] Barry stated in July 2025 that Rutherford was used to her discussing their sex life on the podcast. [14]
