Since first appearing on our screens back in 2013, Goggleboxhas become a national treasure and one of the biggest shows on telly. Georgia Bell joined the show back in 2018 along with her bestie Abbie Lynn, and although it was four years into the show's running, they have quickly become fan favourites, providing hilarious antics every week.

But as we only get a brief glimpse into her life on the show you may have found yourself wanting to know a bit more about Georgia. Well, fear not we've got you sorted.

Here'e everything you need to know about Georgia Bell, one half of the ICONIC Gogglebox duo from Durham.

Who is Georgia Bell?

Georgia Bell is a hairdresser and reality TV star from Durham. She first achieved fame when she joined the hit Channel 4 reality TV show Gogglebox back in 2018.

She joined the show with her bestie Abbie and together they became one of the funniest duos on the show, although the comedy is often unintentional.

The duo are perhaps best known for their hilarious faux pas, including Georgia’s infamous admission that she’d never heard of Israel earlier this year.

"Where's Israel? I've never heard of Israel," she exclaimed while discussing which countries had been added to the green list for travel.

"You've got to be taking the p-ss," Abbie replied, even though she wasn’t too sure herself.

"Israel? It's something to do with Jesus," she added.

Another of their most iconic moments was the time that Abbie thought you could only get genital warts on your feet...

What is Georgia Bell's job outside the show?

According to her Instagram bio, Georgia Bell is a hairdresser.

How old is Georgia Bell?

Georgia is currently 22 years old.

Does Georgia Bell have a boyfriend?

Georgia has a boyfriend named Josh who chooses not to appear on the show. Her dog, Vinnie, makes the occasional appearance on the show, however, making up for Josh's absence.

Is Georgia Bell pregnant?

Georgia Bell has announced she’s pregnant with her first child. In January of 2022, Georgia announced on Instagram that she and her boyfriend Josh Newby were expecting.

The sweet snap included a baby scan which was framed with the words, "Baby Newby due July 2022," as well as a pair of baby booties and a rabbit cuddly toy.

The picture also included a babygrow which had the words, "And then there were four," printed on it, referring to Georgia and Josh’s growing family which already includes their pet pooch, a Staffordshire bull terrier called Vinnie.

The babygrow also features three hearts and a paw print to represent each member of the family. ADORBS.

Georgia’s pregnancy announcement came just a few months after her co-star Pete Sandiford welcomed a baby boy with his wife Paige Yeomans.

The much-loved telly star, who is related to children's TV legends The Chuckle Brothers, revealed Paige had given birth while appearing on the red carpet at the National Television Awards in September as he said, "It's a bit overwhelming, got it all going on at the moment!"

Pete told the Mirror, "He's a cool little lad, takes after his mum not me! I’ve been up all night, I slept on the train here - got suitcases under my eyes, you just got me at a good time now."

His sister Sophie added, "I’m a very proud auntie. I’m obsessed with him. I just keep saying, 'Can I hold him? Can I feed him?'"

What happened with Mariah Carey?

One of the biggest moments for Abbie and Georgia came when clip of them went viral in 2020. While watching Mariah's Magical Christmas Special, Abbie said, "2020 has been saved by Mariah Carey."

Georgia replied, "And that’s all it took."

The pair were likely beyond shocked when Mariah retweeted the clip, writing, "Love this!!"

Abbie and Georgia responded, "Aw wow! we absolutely loved the show! We hope you have an amazing Christmas @MariahCarey".

Wow, talk about an unexpected crossover. Here's hoping they have stayed in contact and invited Mariah to join them on their Gogglebox sofa...

The rest of the family are still thick as thieves, as Scarlett's recent tribute to her dad Mark proves. After Scarlett gained celeb status, the whole family were axed, leaving Scarlett gutted – but they're certainly enjoying her celeb status, with "secret" little sister Ava making pals with Joe Swash's son Harry, and glitzy parties galore.

However, things eventually turned pretty sour between the two, and earlier this year Chris gave an interview with The Mirror where he claimed Stephen had "bullied" him off the show."A year on, I've finally had the courage to stand up to a bully and start to tell the story of how @Stephenwebb71 forced of off @C4Gogglebox and how it's affected my mental health since," he tweeted, adding that he'd received no mental health aftercare, which is an "industry-wide failing".He's found his happy ever after, though, wit a new husband.
