GK Barry has revealed her feud with Bradley Walsh and claimed he 'hated' her when they met at a charity event The podcaster and Loose Women star, 27, was peaking on her Saving Grace podcast this week with guest Chloe Burrows where she told how she first met him when they both did Soccer AidIt comes after earlier this month GK's BBC Radio 1 debut was panned by listeners who claimed her pre-recorded show should not have replaced Mollie King and Matt Edmondson.The social media influencer has been handed a two-hour BBC Radio 1 slot starting every Thursday at 1pm, replacing Mollie and Matt's usual live programme.GK – whose real name is Grace Eleanor Keeling – has previously acted as a relief presenter for the station in the last year and, while she has little live radio experience, her podcast Saving Grace is a massive hit with 545k subscribers. However, critics have argued since the announcement that GK's success as a podcast host doesn't necessarily mean she has the skills for radio.The GK Barry Show on BBC Radio 1 is apparently pre-recorded primarily to prevent accidental swearing live on air and to accommodate her busy schedule.After tuning into her first show when it aired, listeners shared their opinions across Instagram and X.They said: 'Why is she pre-recording it? No show in the daytime should be anything but live'; 'Justice for Matt and Mollie. We want them back on Thursdays'; 'Already had enough'; 'No chance of that happening anyway since it's pre-recorded which is madness';'Poor Matt and Mollie who are great reduced to a three day week to accommodate her'; 'I fear R1s demise... although I'm not the demographic for this station, if it wasn't for Greg/Jack/Pete Tony/ Matt it would be a rubbish listen';'Her show isn't even live... it's pre-recorded!'; 'Why on earth have you reduced Matt and Mollie down to a three day show for this? Literally the only show on weekdays worth listening to besides Greg.'A few people did defend GK, saying: 'All these negative comments if you don't like GK turn over, simple. I think she's doing well, her mum's laugh is contagious and Ella did well not to swear'; 'Love this new addition... love you GKB. Grace told listeners: 'Bradley Walsh HATED me and Chloe. If there was a word for more than hated, it would be that''Greattt content'; 'J'obsessed' alongside an array of laughing emojis. One person questioned why people were 'so sentimental' about radio, but others quickly fired back about how important certain shows can be. They said: 'Maybe because it plays a big part in their daily routine? I'd switch to Capital if they didn't have ad breaks. And Radio 2 isn't the same vibe'; 'What a weird and outrageous thing to say! Because it's a huge part of many people's lives day in and day out. That's why. People may not want another station.'People like BBC cos they don't have annoying adverts every two minutes. Radio 1 is hanging by a thread. Greg single-handedly holding it together'; 'Is that because she's pre-recorded and not live like every other daytime DJ?'; 'Be better off without her on Radio 1';'You wonder why people switch over to BBC Radio 2'; 'I'm so close to not listening anymore, I've listened to Radio 1 since I was 16 in my first ever job in 1986 and at 57 this weekend I think that it's just tripe now, the only show worth anything is Greg James I was going to wait til he retires but with Jeremiah and this absolute nonsense I really think I'm done. Signing out.'In a statement to the Daily Mail, a BBC Radio 1 representative said: 'GK Barry's first show attracted record numbers, demonstrating the strong connection she has already built with Radio 1 listeners. 'We know GK resonates with our young audience, and we look forward to hearing more of her distinctive voice on Radio 1.'Previously, the Loose Women panellist said of the gig: 'I am really excited to be back hosting a series of my own BBC Radio 1 shows from this September.'You'll be hearing my favourite songs, we'll be speaking with some really exciting guests and, as always, in true GK Barry style, I promise a lot of humour, chaos and embarrassing stories along the way!'
