FORMER Love Island star Georgia Harrison has been left red-faced after finding out what fellow Celeb SAS contestant Ovie Soko really thinks about her.
Since leaving the gruelling competition, Love Island star Ovie Soko, 33, has accused Georgia Harrison, 29, of “playing up for the cameras” during Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins and singled her out as the only co-star he didn’t bond with on the Channel 4 show.
Now, the former Towie star has opened up about their relationship on the Access All Areas podcast with Bobby Norris, 38, after he asked the Essex native what she thought of Ovie’s negative comments.
Georgia admitted: “I hadn’t really seen that… you’ve just told me… but I did feel that he held that opinion of me because of ways he acted towards the end.
“For me, I flew out there with him and I felt like I got along really well with him on the way out there. To be honest, I liked him throughout the whole experience.
“I genuinely didn’t realise that he didn’t like me until the last day and even then, looking back, I thought maybe it was just because the situation was starting to get a bit of a struggle for him. I felt that maybe he was just using that as an out but apparently he just genuinely doesn’t like me.”
The basketball player told The Sun: “I didn’t go on SAS to have drama moments, I went on SAS for a personal journey.
“I didn’t know whether that was Georgia Harrison’s full goal, at times it just felt like she played up for the cameras.
“Everyone understood we’re here to give it a good crack, we are here to help each other.
“I felt like everyone got that on the show besides her.”
Georgia had some tough moments on the programme and spoke to Chief Instructor Billy Billingham and Foxy (Jason Fox) about the trauma she faced over the Stephen Bear revenge porn court case. She said: “When you go through something like that you really do lose a lot of your self-esteem. I felt violated, I felt ashamed, I felt embarrassed.”
A tearful Georgia continued: “In the time that that went on my best friend died and my ex-boyfriend died so over that two years it’s just been a lot of just trying to get through things.
“It’s been like two years of just trying to barely just on with things and just be strong enough to just be remotely happy and achieve the things that I need to achieve, just get by.
“A lot of it I had to be strong really quickly because I had to be strong to get to the court case. I had to put a lot of my grieving to the side.”
Georgia continued: “It’s nice actually just to be here for a few days and not have someone go, ‘Are you OK?’ I’ve got so much more in my character than that.
“This is the perfect way to rip me out of what’s been two years of struggle.”
