Georgia Harrison was 24 hours from death after stress of sex tape leak sparked shocking health emergency
GEORGIA Harrison has revealed she was just 24 hours away from dying after the stress of a sex tape leak led to a health emergency.
Almost two years ago to the day, the Love Island star was hospitalised with sepsis after a cyst on her ovary burst and became infected.
The illness struck four months after vile Stephen Bear, 32, posted secretly filmed CCTV footage of the pair having sex on OnlyFans without Georgia's consent.
On Tuesday, Bear was found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
In an exclusive interview, Georgia says of her health battle: “I was alone in Dubai at the time and I could not see my family because of the pandemic.
“I fell ill through the stress, I was locking myself away and barely sleeping.

“Stress can cause cysts to burst and I believe the effect this had on me led to me almost losing my life.
“The doctors told me I was lucky to be alive.”
At the same time Georgia was in hospital, Bear was also in Dubai on holiday.
She adds: “It was awful for my family knowing I was dangerously ill in hospital and he was drinking cocktails on the beach just miles away from me.
“That was so painful for them.”
Unrepentant Bear, who made £40,000 out of putting the video on X-rated website Only Fans, will be sentenced on January 31.
