Life and career[edit]

Georgia Louise Harrison was born on 12 December 1994 in the London Borough of Redbridge, London.[1][2] She grew up and struggled with undiagnosed ADHD, which got her expelled from school as a teenager.[3] Prior to appearing on reality television, she worked as a personal assistant.[4]

In 2014, Harrison joined the cast of the ITVBe reality series The Only Way Is Essex for the show's thirteenth series.[5] She was axed from the show after appearing in one series, which Harrison said was due to her being drunk whilst filming.[6][7] In 2017, she became a contestant on the third series of the ITV2 reality dating show Love Island.[8][9] She was the final "bombshell" to enter the series on Day 34 and was dumped twelve days later alongside Sam Gowland.[10] In 2018, she appeared on the 5Star series Celebrity Ghost Hunt.[11]

In 2019, Harrison competed in the MTV reality competition The Challenge: War of the Worlds, finishing in eighth place.[12][13] Later that year, she competed in the next series, The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2, and was eliminated in the tenth episode.[14][15] Whilst competing in the The Challenge, she met television personality Stephen Bear, whom she dated until July 2019.[16] In December 2020, Bear uploaded CCTV footage of the pair having sex to his OnlyFans account that was filmed without Harrison's consent. In 2023, he was sentenced to 21 months in prison after being found guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.[17] Harrison was awarded £207,900 in compensation damages and subsequently recalled her experience of becoming a victim of revenge porn in an ITV2 documentary, Revenge Porn: Georgia vs Bear.[18][19][20] Harrison also appeared on the first series of Celebrity Ex on the Beach and is set to appear on the sixth series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.[21][22]

In October 2023, Harrison appeared on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.[23] In an interview with The Sun, she revealed she had been in talks with the Labour Party over the possibility of her standing to be a Member of Parliament in a constituency in Essex.[24] In 2024, Harrison appeared as a contestant on the spin-off series Love Island: All-Stars.[25]
