GK Barry’s cheeky remarks about Tottenham Hotspur led to some eyebrow-raising drama last year! 🎠The internet star, also known as Grace Keeling, sparked controversy during the Women’s League Cup draw when she made a cheeky joke while pulling out a ball with Tottenham’s name on it. Her quip mirrored a popular anti-Spurs chant, causing enough of a stir that the Women’s Super League offered an apology to the club.
In case you missed it, this all unfolded while Grace, alongside her partner and Portsmouth player Ella Rutherford, was conducting the live draw on WSL Football’s TikTok page. A simple slip-up almost disrupted the draw, but an adjudicator confirmed the ball was pulled correctly in the end. No replay needed!
Grace is gearing up for even more TV time with her appearance on Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel on BBC One. She’s no stranger to the spotlight, having become a well-loved face on UK reality TV. Back in 2024, she even joined the panel of Loose Women, making history as its youngest panellist. Her on-screen adventures also include a stint on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
Amid the WSL debacle, Grace found herself backed by Loose Women co-star Denise Welch, who took to Instagram to defend her style. Denise quipped, “For goodness sake!!! Don’t book Grace then!!! It’s exactly what she does. She’s never going to be a regular football pundit!!” Grace knows how to keep things lively, that’s for sure!
Catch Grace on The Wheel and see what else she has up her sleeve. Her quick-wit and unapologetic personality make her the TV star we just can’t get enough of! 📺✨
