Barry Opens Up About Loss of His Daughter | I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2024

[@charchar1300]

Barry sharing his story, Danny running to comfort him, Tulisa and her words, the Camp crying with him - a true moment of humanity. This is a great group of people.

[@KaleemAkbar786]

😢

[@BernadetteOrourke-kt8wo]

😢😢I lost my daughtershe was 30

[@buyop9441]

They were all great but Tulisa was fabulous because she has been through, knows and recognises hardship. Tears feel from my eyes when he told this story firstly because it was so unexpected. I did not expect him to have such a story let alone tell it at a time when I don’t think he thought he would. Secondly, the pain he feels was palpable and that was very, very hard to watch and hear.

[@Dylan-y6n]

he is probably more upset that he got upset in front of a group of Z list celebrity nobodies. As a man when you cry you don't want all the cliche phrases 'we're here for you' , 'grieving is normal', especially when you dont even know them

[@buyop9441]

@ No, I doubt that. He lost an adult child, I doubt anything other than the loss came into his mind. The poor man was overcome with pain but also the fact that he finds it hard to talk about it and possibly process it too. It was not easy for the celebs either, but they did really well. Strangely, from the edit, the one who seemed most aloof was Colleen who’s been through similar. Possibly because she lives a life of sheer luxury (good for her) were the others are much more regular, day to day folk.

[@markhooper4532]

Bless his camp mates going to comfort him...My darling boy passed away in 1974 aged five...Still cry buckets of tears for him.

[@CarolRitchie-dt5wb]

I am so very sorry to hear of your massive loss. My brother's little boy is 5 and I worship the ground he walks on ❤

[@bigbouncybunda69]

Im so sorry angel you are so strong🩷

[@louissmith1393]

No parent should have to bury their child. Respect to Barry.

[@gursevsanghera7042]

I really feel for Barry I can't imagine want he going through losing his daughter I knew a couple who lost their 18 year old son to cancer and he told me that he and his wife see photos of their son there's always tears in their eyes unfortunately I lost my mother to cancer and she was only 64 years old and I lost my father's COVID 19 but he was 83 years old but had a good innings but he was still healthy

[@rosk.wilburn5847]

That's life

[@kateloren5135]

Was heartbroken to see Barry's grief.Lost my sister to Bowel Cancer aged 15 yrs, I was 9yrs old. Completely changed our family.I am now 61 yrs old and to this day still feel her loss. Soul destroying for parents to lose there child

[@LoganBruce-g8x]

😢❤

[@singstar56367]

God, broke my heart listening to that. He really needed to get that of his chest.. brave man for opening up!!! 😭😭

[@KaleemAkbar786]

😭

[@piphead]

What a wonderful man, just goes to show u never really know what someone is going through. Hope he gets all the support he needs 🙏

[@jamiehudson1772]

What an absolute man, farther. Stopped me in my tracks, can’t imagine his family’s pain. Thank you for sharing. God bless.

[@distorbia20]

This literally made me cry so bad. Gosh so sad. Hits you so much when you have kids too. 😢😢

[@maryhughes7929]

This is heartbreaking. His grief and pain came across the tv. Crying watching it. His camp mates really comforted him and said some beautiful comforting words to him. Sorry for your loss Barry I really am. God rest your daughter. 🙏🏼⭐️🕯

[@eddddd123]

I cried my eyes out when i saw Barry break down. I think most people did too watching it. I couldn't help it. I really felt his pain. Poor man. No parent should out live their child. My heart goes out to him, and all his family and anyone else has gone through this ❤

[@truckerfromreno]

That moment will be an inspiration to grieving fathers for a very long time. I have always admired Barry and my respect for him is now through the roof. God bless Barry and his family.

[@brandonhyde6985]

Ive never once cried watching im a celeb, nothing. This made me actually sob for a good 30 minutes, so much respect for this guy and his family, just wow.

[@maskedsingerhomie6891]

I can’t imagine going through anything like that. And then sharing it with the nation. He is so strong in more ways than one. It’s so important to see strong men be vulnerable with their emotions. I was truly heart broken hearing this. Cancer is awful and it can happen so fast. You feel a bit off one day and the next you’re in hospital. It’s so important to listen to your body and if something feels wrong see someone.

[@kajsabrinell7278]

As sad as this is, I love to see the men come up directly and comfort him is beautiful

[@Sing8241]

Beautiful ❤️ Man who's loved so much ❤️ I lost my sister 25years ago to leukaemia at age 26 😢I still cry for her we were so close 😢❤ feel you Barry 🙏🏼❤️

[@geordiechris121]

Tulisa's words of strength was needed for Barry.

[@gill9331]

This was heartbreaking i cried with them💔 ..Tulisa said some very comforting and meaningful words❤...Bless you heart Barry!

[@Spotlightgopz]

I don’t really like reality shows, I only caught this story on Instagram. Heart breaks for him, and I have a great, great deal of respect for a man to open up like that. It takes A LOT to be that open as a man.

[@bengilhooly3616]

Loved this moment. They’re were all like a family

[@lks6248]

I understand as one who lost my child nearly five years ago. You don’t get over it, you just learn to carry the tragedy with you.

[@dannytooley7530]

Am so sorry for your lost rip to your kid

[@DanielleLashaye]

I'm so sorry for your loss

[@Angel-jh4ok]

❤️❤️

[@Ben14102]

So sorry for your loss ❤

[@MrDonnelly1111]

So sorry for ur loss

[@LoganBruce-g8x]

You never get over loosing a child ❤️ Barry laying himself bare 😱😥

[@mariemac5347]

I wasn’t a fan of Tulisa but I’ve changed my mind! I love what she said and I hope her words help Barry to heal! God bless you Barry and Tulisa ❤

[@darraghkelly1744]

“There’s no rules to grieving, Barry.” Wise woman

[@wendybookboo639]

I feel his pain my son passed last year im so so sorry 😢 keep your beautiful memories you have close to you its the worse pain .❤❤❤

[@RichardBarnes-r4r]

That was genuinely heartbreaking to watch folks: Barry was one of my heroes as a kid growing up. Not just for his boxing skills and becoming World Champion but because he did more to unite both communities in Northern Ireland (he represented Ireland in the Olympics and Northern Ireland in the Commonwealth Games) during “The Troubles” at a time when no politician ever could so it was very sad to see him so overcome with grief. At the same time it was lovely to see all his campmates rally round him and show their support 💙 🥊

[@manweneedtotalk3257]

What a brave man How utterly heartbreaking Life can be so cruel What wonderful camp mates, so supportive

[@debbieking4128]

Always loved Barry, he’s a talented singer, tv personality as well as a boxing great. Heartbreaking, what a courageous and inspiring man.

[@reekog7943]

Real human moment❤ Love to Barry and everyone in the comments that have gone through this.❤

[@ThomasMullins-t8h]

That made me cry . That was Beautifull the way the Camp mates all Comforted Barry. God rest his Daughter.

[@bernardmcmahon351]

Be strong Barry for the rest of your family, I lost my daughter 3 years ago very suddenly she was 43 , got to be strong. Peace and big love to you Barry

[@RubyRedS1ippers]

I’m so unbelievably sorry sending love

[@deathonthedaily]

What a beautiful reflection of Barry's love for his daughter, and what a wonderful group holding space with such compassionate presence for him. Reminding us all that it's ok to not be ok, and to let our grief flow

[@josephlewis9237]

Bless him. It's horrible to lose a child. I know I don't have any children of my own, but, I can understand how he feels. A parent burrying a child is really heartbreaking.

[@MattJackson-s4z]

I’ve got a 2 year old daughter and I worry most days something will happen to her and just thinking about it makes me feel physically sick. Nobody can ever imagine the pain and the suffering. How can you go on in life after such a thing I wonder. This part made me cry a lot. Respect to this man and respect to all the camp mates.

[@ajsherwin6131]

My heart went out to him telling the story of how he lost his daughter poor barry duch a strong man being able to say it on live T.V

[@truckerfromreno]

Imagine how much that means to men going through a similar situation as Barry.

[@tensemurm5924]

​@@truckerfromreno Even just men going through difficult times, good to see a "masculine" man to express it and others being supportive of it. Needed more than ever these days

[@Lone_Star86]

Once you lose all your distractions ie mobile phone, social media and everything else, your sitting literally in a forest with the beauty of nature all around you you can finally begin to heal your deep wounds. How many people are grieving inside yet the distractions keeps us detached from ourselves. Its only when you have no tv, no phone then you can finally heal. Nature is the healer 🌿💚

[@buyop9441]

So well put, thank you.

[@thomasredmond1646]

So true , very wise words 💙🙏

[@ThomasMullins-t8h]

Absolutely 100 per cent true .

[@stevehaylett6948]

Proper man right there, sharing grief for the love he had for his daughter ❤ life care be so unfair x

[@QBR1234]

As a man with daughters wow, I can feel splitting pain at the thought of something happening to them and they are both here healthy. Never take them for granted.

[@Carla-fd9nc]

Alotta people crying watching so young ❤

[@craig0weston20]

Barry as really suffered loss in his life. Praying for your family 🙏

[@terri1916]

You will never get over losing a child. No matter how long ago it happened or age of the child. Kids don't go before parents shouldn't be like this. I fully understand how he feels. I been there

[@edwardmcgregor4358]

Respect to Barry all the way from Dublin Ireland

[@maureenfurmedge1917]

Poor barry watching him open up broke my heart the man is amazing god bless him

[@Sidecontrol1234]

Big respect for Barry sharing his story and being open about his feelings. If a hard man boxer can do it any man can.

[@sophieyoung14]

This was a vulnerable moment for Barry that he felt open enough to share. I think it’s lovely he’s continuing to share her name and story for people who don’t know. Alot of people try and not speak up as everyone grieves differently. We all got to witness such a beautiful moment, he spoke about his daughter with the positives and negatives of her life. I always seem to find that people who discipline contacted sports such as; boxing, judo, karate etc are the most calmest, kindest people, me myself is one of them. What a man he is 👏👏

[@lunaumbra]

Not a dry eye in the house. I love both Barry and Colleen who also lost her sis Rosie at a young age. Sending love and strength to them both. Lovely people, down and earth and ultimate Winners ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@michaelmuldowney8]

God love him. Hopefully the unique jungle experience helps him heal a little more. Really impressed with the empathy and sensitive honesty of those with him - particularly Tulisa.

[@Ment2ExcelDigital]

Absolutely heartbroken watching Barry last night x

[@kieranwhite6647]

Seeing an ex-professional boxer crying on national television is so important for young men to see

[@rickysmom809]

Exactly

[@patriciadowley6665]

Heartbreaking poor Barry and his family nobody should loose a child sending love and hugs❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇪

[@elizabethmarshall9249]

Think Coleen was thinking about her sister Rosie bless her

[@pearlkelly6337]

yeah she was

[@vishy]

Poor chap 😢 Rest in peace to his daughter. Clearly he loved her to the core.

[@tonytee9979]

What an emotional watch, but so lovely and genuine to see the others crowd around him with support. Being vulnerable does show strength to admit pain and talk about it to people. Tulisa’s words were really moving and does put a staple on the truth of grieving. This year I have to admit I am liking every single camp mate I think they all compliment each other nicely and gel well.

[@katiejaneofficially]

Barry to Win He is a treasure and we love him Did we all cry?

[@catherinethorpe3940]

Bless him it's so sad you never get over losing them it just gets a little easiser sending him love loving Tulisa 😘

[@jillmilnes7613]

No matter the age it's a club no-one wants to be in. I know too many people that have lost children.

[@jonfethers7608]

Ultimate respect to Barry and the rest of the team, peace and love and keep supporting each other. Walk a mile in someone’s shoes

[@redeye61]

God bless Barry ❤ Loosing a sibling is Heartbreaking, My sister passed away at 47 and she will always be with me' in my Heart ❤

[@carolshaw7904]

While he was telling his heartbreaking story I was crying and also thinking of Collen who lost her sister. ❤

[@farzadjahanfard]

No matter who you are how tough you are . Life will break you to pieces it happens to all of us the only thing matters is being nice and kind to each other when someone is Brocken ❤ what a man he is and god bless her soul ❤

[@tonykirk1966]

My heart goes out to you Barry, one father to another. It would have broken me 😢💔

[@ChampChamp2024]

You’d never forget losing a child, Barry can cry as much as he wants. A parent shouldn’t have to bury a child.

[@laurenoconnell1011]

My dad lost his sister to an Asthma attack when she was 25 whilst her husband was out having an affair and there was nobody to save her she was found dead in the kitchen. My grandparents never ever got over it mg grandad would never ever talk about her it's so sad. My dad visits her grave at Xmas but never talks about her it complete broke there hearts forever xx

[@Neo-oq3rx]

There isn’t any pain like losing a loved one especially a parent or a child at a young age. It shapes your whole life and you never get over it

[@jackharris4841]

That Made My Eyes Tears 😢

[@katie2295]

These are the Im a Celeb groups I love. These when everyone gets on, bar the odd argument from being hungry and tired

[@Straightshooterx71x]

Gutted for him and his family, legend of a man back in the day watched his fights they were so exciting ❤

[@lindakent8029]

Lost my brother to non hodgkins, bone marrow transplant gave him some extra time , still grieve for him❤️

[@mattcolley358]

Respect to barry here. I ve always said real men are not afraid to show there emotions. However tough you are

[@dannytooley7530]

Poor Barry rip his Beautiful girl

[@LAKKISS1]

God bless Barry what a remarkable human being sending strength and prayers

[@traceybrant9597]

I lost my brother 13 years ago but not to cancer , it was a bacterial infection in the aorta of the heart, he died suddenly aged 50 and the infection was only found during the autopsy . It totally wrecked me and i still get that ten ton truck moments of grief where I can't breathe through crying

[@thegoonerman]

I was 21 when my 3 year old daughter passed I’m 57 now and still cry over it. It never goes away as they say there is no time frame. Big man Hugz Barry

[@reneeantwi-boasiako3974]

@thegoonerman I'm so sorry 🙏🏿 ❤

[@alandelaney1482]

To be honest I've 2 girls and if I lost either I'd struggle to go on 😢

[@Bubblygum1133]

Bless you Barry, just heart breaking, 💔

[@claireedwards1179]

Omg this was so hard to watch god bless him I hope he wins this

[@itsonlysound]

Danika had so much ahead of her. She was a fantastic actress. I don't know if 'Can't Cope, Won't Cope' is still on the iPlayer but its a great example of her talent.

[@itsnothinglong1]

Such a shame to see someone so upset. You never wish this pain on anyone. No one ever expects to outlive your child and loose them. So sad.

[@SamCovington-fh7ek]

Your daughter will be proud of you Barry She'll be watching from the sky Life is so very cruel sometimes

[@joannastronach9107]

My mum lost our big sister , and she said the pain in your heart is unbearable 💔 😢 aww Barry 💔 😢

[@ccurrie9672]

You learn to live with it but the pain does not fade, if you think about it, it all comes back.

[@PaddyWhackginggang-u5i]

Jasus that was heartbreaking. We all know what it’s like to lose someone but a parent should never have to see their child die.

[@thomasfy4]

I found my gran who I lived with dead in bed. The trauma still hurts, I’ve had therapy but I could cry over it for hours.

[@brentpowell7889]

Terrible to lose a daughter & Son, family are everything ❤️.

Jesus thats done me in that

[@moadtouhami]

Yeah, big time - me too.

[@JohnnyCarroll-b8t]

My brother lost his son of 12 years on 2nd November 2024. Breaks my heart because he was like a little brother. Just know this Barry their's to much evidence out there now to suggest you won't meet your daughter again. I know I'm going to see my Nephew again. Just passing through this world until the real journey begins🙏

[@paulbonnyman3164]

Thats just ripped my heart out seeing that.

[@Emmalittlepengelly1690]

She was a wonderful actress. I didn't know she was his daughter and that she had died until very recent. She a had a very expressive face.

[@ChapmanPlays]

I know how there feeling on a scale I lost my brother but it definitely hit my parents hard😢

[@faystalker9851]

I felt for Barry my condolences to him daughter I never knew that.

[@Rayk76]

Legend 🇮🇪

[@birthing4blokes46]

Barry, what a man...moved by this on. Do wish some of the others would not offer advice...maybe just be with him.

[@harrythebookworm]

I felt your pain Barry. I have children and can’t imagine how you might have felt.

[@rickysmom809]

Love talisa❤ her words to barry are such facts!!

[@clairelangley9934]

I think this is the best line up ever

[@JordanCurley-2]

I couldn't agree more

[@stanbily9416]

Umm… Really? For me, it is one of the worst.

[@SexyxSeds]

@@stanbily9416how!?!?

[@charchar1300]

Truly the best

[@tracyjacob7091]

The line up is OK, but I rather see some arguments further down the line,none of this happy campers stuff

[@wolves1980]

Rip to your daughter god bless

[@janicesmith975]

Talking is the best remedy.

[@Southpoint2019]

Barry has a fighter mentality and will naturally have an abrasive durability. Something the people on this show can’t comprehend. But even family loss can’t be reckoned with. Jim watt another retired boxer from sky commentary lost 2 daughters

[@garyfautley9843]

Sorry Barry must’ve been horrible for you You was always a great warrior mate

[@LorraineAnderson-gp1ox]

Aw so sad barry is my grandads favourite boxer ❤
