'I'M LOYAL'
How Georgia Steel went from desperate TV wannabe with 11 shows under her belt to top the Love Island All Stars rich list
Watch our exclusive video to see Georgia's acting attempt, as well as her 2011 Nickelodeon appearance
MANY of us will recognise Georgia Steel - who first found fame on Love Island for her iconic "loyal" catchphrase.
She was thrown back into the spotlight this year when she entered the All Stars villa in South Africa and rocked the boat with her affection for Callum Jones, Tom Clare, and Toby Aromolaran.

Georgia and Toby only finished in fourth spot, but according to a new study, she has topped the Love Island All Stars Instagram rich list, potentially making £11,400 per Instagram post.
Online casino website looked at the potential earnings each Love Island All Stars finalist can make from one sponsored Instagram post and one sponsored Instagram story, and found that Georgia can make the most cash on Instagram.
While the 25-year-old has over 1.6 million followers on Instagram, she also has an engagement rate of 1.8%, the fourth highest rate in the show.
Georgia first appeared on our screens on the fourth series of the iconic ITV2 reality series in 2018.

That time she finished in eighth place alongside Sam Bird, after being eliminated on day 47.
However the pair did not stay coupled up for long with rumours she had cheated - which Georgia denied.
Since then she has done a variety of TV shows, including Celebs Go Dating before heading back into the villa for a second attempt to find love.
Georgia has also been on Nickelodeon and CBBC - years before she strutted her stuff in a bikini.

Georgia Steel ‘reveals’ Love Island feud as she snubs finalists after leaving the villa
Camp Orange UK
14
Our loyal babe has been climbing the ladder of TV stardom since she was in school.
We first saw her on our screens when she was just 13 years old, in 2011.
Georgia’s first attempt at fame was through her role on a Nickelodeon show - Camp Orange UK.
The show was a bit like I’m A Celeb but for regular kids, filmed out in Australia.
During the reality game show, Georgia was part of Team Yorky Corkies, after her Yorkshire roots, in which friends teamed up to take on the ultimate “bush” challenge.
Georgia teamed up with her bestie Elsie Cussons and they took on a range of challenges, including creepy night treasure hunts, obstacle races, and living among goats in the Australian campsite.
We saw the youngster crying on the show when she found out she’d been chosen to take part.
And unlike her "loyal" catchphrase, the younger attempted to get herself a catchphrase to make her the most memorable of the competitors - but sadly this didn't quite go to plan.
In an awkward clip, Georgia told her mate she was going to "slash it," meaning "smash it," which led to a hilarious confusion between the duo.
She said: "We’re gonna slash it”, to which Elsie turned to her and asked: "What does slash mean?"
To this, Georgia replied: "It means gonna like, do it, good."
All At Sea
14
Not only was Georgia on Nickelodeon, but in 2013, when she was 15, she went on a CBBC show.
Georgia appeared on All At Sea, a children’s sitcom, for her first shot at acting.
The series revolved around the chaotic misadventures of the Enright family, who had recently moved to Scarborough to run a BnB by the sea.
In the series, Georgia played the role of Amanda Bryce and in a resurfaced scene from the show, a young Georgia could be seen discussing relationships and love with her young co-star.
Standing by some railings next to the sea, a young-looking Georgia said: "It's amazing you know, we've only been going out for two weeks. It feels like years."
As her pal struggled on her roller blades and mumbled a reply, Georgia's character added: "When it's right, it's right you know? Sorry, of course you don't."
MTV Cribs
14
After Georgia’s big Love Island break in 2018, the next year saw Georgia’s TV appearances come in thick and fast - including showing off her pad on MTV Cribs.
Georgia starred on the iconic show when she was just 21, giving an exclusive insight into her farm-based childhood.
After taking the crew around her lavish countryside family home, Georgia left fans cringing after she showcased her hot pink bedroom and claimed: “This is where the magic happens - just don't tell my mum and dad.”
In her pink bedroom, we saw pink bedding, a pink sofa, pink accessories, pink blankets, a pink rug, and a pink light fixture.
Not only this, but in a similar fashion to the iconic Saltburn mansion tour, we saw Georgia run into a huge games room, fit with a red swing.
Celebs Go Dating
14
After Georgia’s failed attempt at love following her first Love Island appearance, we saw her look for Mr Right during her time on Celebs Go Dating.
But on the show dating expert Paul C Brunson gave her a telling off after a string of dates gave her negative feedback.
Georgia was invited to the agency to chat to the experts about what was going wrong.
She was given her overall feedback from a date, in which she was told she didn’t listen, as Anna explained: “We are consistently starting to get bad feedback. This really does ring alarm bells for us.”
But while Georgia sat back and laughed at the comments, Paul then chimed in and claimed: “This feedback that we’re getting, what it tells us is that you, Georgia, are self absorbed.”
He also added: "You’re not showing up as the Georgia we see on the couch, on these dates. It’s fraudulent. You put on this facade. Like ‘I’m Georgia Steel!’.”
Celebs On The Ranch
14
Also in 2019 we saw Georgia on Celebs On The Ranch - a show that does pretty much exactly what it says on the tin - it takes a bunch of celebrities, usually reality stars, who are used to luxury and fine living, and shoves them on a ranch to work.
But during her time on the ranch, Georgia was called out for being “infuriating” as she screamed during tasks.
In one episode, she stepped off the coach and screamed at her fellow cast members: “I want a pony! Where’s my pony?”.
Following this, she then screamed “pony” for the entire episode, until Made In Chelsea star Victoria Baker-Harber shouted at her and begged her to stop.
Celebrity Coach Trip
14
2019 was definitely a very busy year for Georgia, as she also appeared on the series of Celebrity Coach Trip too.
Georgia starred alongside her Love Island pal Alexandra Cane, but came to blows during a vote-off with 90s pop sisters Cleopatra and Yonah Higgins.
The duo became locked in a war of words, as Georgia piped up: "This is getting too much. You keep targeting me."
Cleopatra then claimed: "Yesterday you were extremely rude to my sister. Extremely rude. Please don’t try it with us."
But the confrontation soon ended in tears, as Georgia broke down and was consoled by Alexandra.
Celebrity Antiques Road Trip
14
Not only did Georgia dabble with dating shows, but she also appeared on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip too - yes, you heard that correctly.
In series nine, episode nine, we saw Georgia alongside another Love Island star, Wes Nelson, as they coupled up with experts Izzie Balmer and Phil Serrell on the hunt for antiques in Yorkshire, before an auction in North Shields.
The episode saw the reality stars battling it out for the Road Trip crown, after they were given £400 and a classic car to travel Yorkshire and find some bargains to then sell at auction.
At the time, fans couldn't believe what they were seeing but the pair got rave reviews, saying they were well suited to the show, as one Twitter user wrote: “I don't usually endorse reality TV stars [but] Wes Nelson and Georgia Steel are down to earth.”
Ex On The Beach: Peak of Love
14
Not only was she on a coach trip and showing off her pad in 2019, but she also starred on Ex On The Beach: Peak of Love too.
During this time, on the US spinoff of Ex On The Beach, Georgia met Ibiza Weekender star Callum Izzard.
Not only did we see the pair get close, as they fell “very much in love”, but at the time, it was reported that Callum proposed to Georgia on the set of the US show.
A TV insider told The Sun that Callum asked her to marry him at the end of filming after meeting on the show.
Following their return to the UK, Callum soon moved into Georgia’s Essex home - but despite their promising beginning, after seven months, the couple decided to call it quits.
Dinner Date
14
After another failed attempt at finding The One, in 2021, Georgia starred on series 11, episode 14, of Dinner Date.
The reality star was given five menus, each put together by a potential blind date.
She then sat down for dinner with three of them, before choosing who she wanted to go out with at the end.
