Georgina WILL reunite with BB lover Jackson BUT they’ll be no hanky panky… as weight gain has left her too insecure to get naked
The fiery bronde talks exclusively to The Sun Online
WITH just days to go before Big Brother comes to an end and one person who is counting down the hours is former housemate Georgina Leigh Cantwell who can’t wait to be reunited with love interest Jackson Blyton.
While the 26-year-old agrees that absence makes the heart grows fonder, she insists that he won’t be seeing her naked any time soon as she claims her stint in the BB house resulted in her putting on a stone.
She told The Sun Online: “When I was in the house all I did was eat bread and as a result put on over a stone. I feel really uncomfortable about my figure right now.
“Even when I was in the house, I didn’t want Jackson to ever see me naked, so I kept my body covered.
“That’s why you never saw me in a bikini! The other girls in there are really small so I felt even more insecure.”
The former Taking New York star claims she has gone up two dress sizes and has never felt as insecure about her body as she does now.
She bemoaned: “I look huge on TV, like I’ve ate all the pies. The camera really does add 10lbs. I feel really insecure since I’ve left the house.
“The comment that bothers me most when people meet me is ‘oh you look smaller in real life’ Oh great! So I look like a whale on TV.
“I have now got myself a personal trainer and I will be changing my physique up real soon! Four weeks I’ve given him, so watch this space.”
Regardless of her body fears Georgina says she has been at a loose end without Jackson in her life and can’t wait to be reunited with him once he is also out of the Big Brother house.
The bronde gushed: “I have missed him SO much, I can’t wait to see him.
“I have been counting down the days. It’s so weird how close you get to someone in that environment.
She added: “I miss the morning cups of tea he’d bring me. I always woke up with a smile on my face with one of those on the bedside table.
“I really miss when he would say ‘itching for a bitching?’ because he could see my face turn and my attitude turn, and he would stop me snapping on some housemates.”

Some viewers were very vocal in their belief online that Georgina had treated the 24-year-old badly during her time in the house.
Addressing this, she said: “I do have some regrets about the way I treated Jackson, but he gave it to me as much as I did him.
It definitely wasn’t one-sided. It’s a shame it came across so horrific on screen because in reality I had many more smiles with him than I did upset moments.”
She continued: “I probably acted out a little because of how insecure I am about men. I’ve had some pretty empty and brutal past relationships.
However she feels that things could be different with Jackson given the chance.
She explained: “I just had an immediate connection. There’s something about him that you can’t help but love.
“Everyone loves him. He just really wants to make me happy, he’s always said about me – that I make him want to be a better person, and I make him want to change.”
Although Georgina has high hopes about a future with Jackson, there’s just one obstacle in their way - his meddling ex Maille Doyle, who has been less than kind about her on social media.
Georgina sighed: “I wish she wouldn’t judge me on 47 minutes of edited footage.
“It has upset me, as I don’t think any woman wants to get involved with someone who has an ex so closely connected.”
However for the sake of her relationship with Jackson and the mother of his child, Georgina says she is willing to offer an olive branch.
She said: “I would like to meet her for afternoon tea or something. I think she would change her mind if she met me.
“Of course, it’s just an ex thing, she’ll never be happy with anyone he dates, even if it was Pippa Middleton.”
One of the reasons she is so keen to placate Maille is so Jackson will be able to continue to see his son Kash regularly when they are together.
Georgina lamented: “Kash is a big part of Jackson’s life and I would love to meet him, but I understand it’s a joint decision between him and Maille about when I can.
“One day I want to be a mum myself, whether it will happen or not is a different story.”
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
The live final airs Tuesday (July 26).
