Grace had no idea who the boxing World Champion, 63, is as they met for the first time on the ITV show.
The pair introduced themselves before Grace asked: ‘Oh you’re the original Barry, what do you do?’
Very humbly, Barry explained: ‘Well, I used to be professional boxer, now were talking many years ago, I used to be World Champion believe it or not.
Grace replied: ‘Oh cool, that was very humbly said, I would have started off with that.’
He added: ‘Back in 1985,’ prompting Grace, who was born in 1999, to reply, ‘Oh yeah I wasn’t even born’.
Fans quickly took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to say the podcast star is going to be really funny while others praised Barry for being a ‘legend’ and a ‘gentleman’.
‘Oh yeh I wasn’t born lol legend; Barry’s an absolute legend what a gentleman he is; I can’t she’s to funny; I like her already, she’s going to be funny’.
Grace broke down in tears after she was voted by the public to do the Vile Volcano Bushtucker Trial on Sunday’s launch episode of I’m A Celebrity.

The internet personality became emotional after discovering she would be facing the next trial just hours after arriving in the jungle and sparked fears she could end up quitting after admitting she ‘hates’ the show before taking part.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly arrived into the camp to tell the celebrities the results of the public vote.
They revealed GK, who’s real name is Grace Keeling, and Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough had received the most votes from the public.
GK immediately looked nervous and was heard saying: ‘Please be Dean,’ as they waited to hear who would be facing the trial.
As GK started to cry, the other campmates began to comfort her, particularly Loose Women star Jane Moore.
Viewers have speculated GK could find herself facing many of the trials this series given her reactions to the challenges so far.
Taking to X, they wrote: ‘That’s GK Barry doing all the trials this year’… ‘Every single viewer voting GK Barry for the next trial.’
‘GK Barry has just nominated for every trial’… ‘The British pubic voting for GK Barry to do every trial.’
