Love Island's Georgia Steel has been left 'too terrified to sleep and fearing for her life' after claiming to have had 'tens of thousands of pounds' stolen from her bank accounts; worrying her conman ex-boyfriend Medi Abalimba is to blame.
The Celebs on the Ranch star noticed a 'huge sum of money' missing from her accounts; and with her fraudster ex reportedly nowhere to be seen she's revealed an 'ongoing investigation' is under way to find the culprit.

Speaking to The Sun Online's Big Interview, Georgia said: "It's an ongoing investigation with the police at the moment."
Georgia, who was under the impression she was dating a wealthy American called Miguel until press contacted her, added that she had no idea about Medi's criminal past. She explained: "We went to the birthday party and he met all of my family and friends. I was introducing him as my boyfriend.
"My parents really believed he was this man who was looking after me. I'm 21 and a young girl to be living in a city on her own."
Revealing that she decided to confront Medi while he was in bed next to her, she said: "He told me he had to change his name when he got out of prison because he didn't want it to affect him.
"He told me he'd done bad things but that he really liked me and wanted to change.
"Because I'm a good person, if I see a broken person or a person upset, I really like to fix it.
"I thought I could fix him and accept his past and everything. But I didn't understand how bad his past was.
"I had no idea of how capable he was, because I would never be with someone who could hurt people like that. The stories kept coming out and things kept getting worse."
The following day, Georgia logged into her bank account to discover that 'tens of thousands of pounds' had gone missing.
"I went on my online banking and I noticed a drastic amount had just gone. I was in my flat and I've never been in a situation like that in my life.
"I was physically sick. I sat on my sofa and thought I was going to faint."

Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer: SPLIT

When Georgia confronted Medi over this missing money, he claimed it was nothing to do with him; with the relationship not ending until Georgia's mum gave her an ultimatum.
"I put my glass of wine down and just got up and left. That was the point when I knew it couldn’t go on.
Explaining why she stayed in the relationship despite her concerns over him, Georgia said: "I was very much in love and I don’t fall easily at all.
"He made me feel safe. He was always dressed head-to-toe in designer labels. He could speak five languages and he had this reputation that made everyone very respectful of him.
"I'm devastated and I'm fearing for my life. I don’t want anyone to go through what I have. I feel like this is going to affect me for life. Looking back I feel stupid, but at the time it's like being hypnotised.
"I think it has definitely happened for a reason, it's going to make me grow up very quick."
Metropolitan Police confirmed to The Sun that officers were investigating an allegation of fraud.
