Saving Grace is a podcast presented by English personalityGK Barry. Launched in April 2022, it had the fifth largest weekly audience of any podcast in Britain in the first quarter of 2024, and contains frequent discussion ofsex lives. An October 2024 episode featuring pornographic actressBonnie Blue went viral after she discussed who she had sex with. In addition, Barry has mounted three tours of the podcast since 2023.
Launched in April 2022, Barry launched the podcast at the suggestion ofThe Fellas Studios, who were looking to diversify into video podcasts; her first guest wasTikToker Max Balegde.[1][2] Most episodes were recorded inside a studio inHackney, London, though she started touring the podcast in early 2023; this sold out in two minutes.[1][3] A June episode featured her then-boyfriend.[1]
By October 2023, she had interviewedJamie Laing,Mark Wright,Katie Price,Georgia Harrison,Rob Beckett, andMae Muller;[4] by January, the podcast had 740,000 monthly listeners, having by then featuredMadison Beer andAlison Hammond.[1] Barry mounted a subsequent tour, The Size Matters Tour, in February 2024; its guests includedGemma Collins, Price, andHannah Elizabeth, and its venues included theLondon Palladium.[4][2][1] She also released an episode featuringChunkz andYung 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]
On 23 October 2024, the pornographic actressBonnie Blue appeared on the podcast.[6] During her episode, she discussed her niche of having sex with university students and recounted an occasion in which she had sex with a student and then his father. A clip of the latter went viral and was subsequently deleted. Blue attributed the criticism to the podcast's female audience and stated that the backlash Barry received should have been directed at her.[7] The episode also went viral shortly before Barry was announced forthe twenty-fourth series ofI'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!.[6] By the time her participation was announced, she had recorded over 100 episodes and her guests had includedAlan Carr,Louise Pentland, andElla Rutherford, Barry's girlfriend.[8][9][10] Among her campmates onI'm a Celebrity was future intervieweeRichard 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] In January 2024, Dusty Baxter-Wright ofCosmopolitan 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]
