It's undeniable that Love Island has given us countless icons, one of which being the loyal babe herself, Georgia Steel.

Georgia appeared on Love Island 2018, and she is without a doubt one of the most memorable contestants from her season.

But we haven't seen the last of Georgia as she'll soon be back on our screens competing in the first ever Love Island All Stars. Fans of Georgia will know that it hasn't been that long since she last stepped foot in the villa - she recently appeared on Love Island Games which aired in the US.

Before you tune in, here's a helpful refresher on everything you need to know about Georgia Steel.

When was Georgia Steel on Love Island?

Georgia appeared on season 4 of Love Island back in 2018. She left on day 47 alongside then-boyfriend, Sam Bird.

Who was Georgia Steel coupled up with?

Georgia is best remembered for her brutal Casa Amor recoupling, who could forget her iconic ponytail flip after Josh Denzel re-entered the villa with Kaz Crossley? Her response has gone down in Love Island history, not to mention it spawning her catchphrase (did you know she’s loyal, babes?).

She then went on an infamous date with Jack Fowler before eventually coupling up with Sam Bird.

What happened with Georgia Steel and Sam Bird?

Georgia and Sam seemed loved up in the villa until a shock twist blocked them from coupling up together. After a stressful deliberation, Georgia and Sam chose to leave the show together. They beat all the odds and actually stayed together for three months which is quite a long time for some Islanders.

However, weeks after moving in together, it appeared that Georgia wasn't so "loyal" after allbecause Sam announced they had split and confessed it was due to her ex-boyfriend.

And despite going round to her ex-boyfriend's house and spending the night, Georgia insisted that she slept in another room and nothing happened.

Fast forward a couple of months and they had an explosive showdown during the Love Island reunion episode where Georgia continued to insist she was "loyal".

Will Georgia Steel appear on Love Island All Stars?

The news is out - Georgia will be appearing on Love Island for a third time. Georgia will be joined by fellow Love Island icons like the precious Liberty Poole from Love Island 2021 and the OG Hannah Elizabeth from Love Island 2015. So far, Georgia is the only Islander from her season set to return.

Love Island All Stars begins airing on Monday 15 January.

What is Georgia Steel doing now?

Since leave the villa, Georgia has become an ambassador for Fashion Nova as well as the British Dyslexia Association.

She has appeared on multiple reality shows including Celebs Go Dating, Ex on the Beach’s spin-off Peak of Love, and Love Island Games. Thankfully, she's not sick of reality shows yet, and she's joined the Love Island All Stars line-up alongside Love Island Games bestie Toby Aromolaran and many other fan favourites.

Where is Georgia Steel from?

York, hun.

How old is Georgia Steel?

Georgia was born on 28 March, 1998, making her 25 years old and an Aries.

What happened with Georgia Steel and Callum Izzard?

Georgia dated Ibiza Weekender's Callum Izzard for seven months back in 2020 and they even got engaged after a one-month whirlwind romance. Following their break-up, Callum had some less than complimentary things to say about his ex.

He revealed to PODGHOST, “I’ll be honest, I’m just a clever person and she’s not. Imagine trying to talk to somebody, imagine trying to argue with somebody, conversate with somebody who doesn’t compete on your level intellectually.”

Don’t you just hate when someone is too stupid to ‘conversate’ with you?

He went on to say, “After a while it starts to fade, the looks aren’t there anymore and I can’t do it, man. Add that with living together with someone in a confined thing because we’re in lockdown.

“I hate running but I was going on hour, two hour long runs every day just to get out of the house. One day, she goes, ‘Can I come on the runs?’ I was like, ‘F--k no!’”

Harsh.

Does Georgia Steel know Michael Griffiths?

Although she has never publicly forgiven Josh, Georgia did join forces with a different Love Island ‘villain’ who had his own disastrous Casa Amor recoupling - she appeared in a Subway campaign with Michael Griffiths.

Michael is best known for his treatment of Amber Gill who went on to win Love Island season 5 with Irish bombshell Greg O’Shea. While Amber stayed loyal like Georgia did, Michael returned to the villa with Joanna Chimonides, prompting a less than thrilled response from Twitter.

Even Michael’s own twitter tweeted, "Throwing away £50k like..." with a gif of a man tossing money in the air.

Are Georgia Steel and Dani Dyer still friends?

Dani Dyer and Georgia grew close during their season but the pair are rarely spotted together, with the last sighting being summer of 2021.

However they still follow each other on Instagram and Georgia commented under Dani's baby news announcement so we reckon they're still pals.

What did Georgia Steel say about Shaq Muhammad?

During the winter season of Love Island, Georgia appeared on Aftersun where she caused a bit of controversy by mispronouncing Shaq Muhammad’s name.

Georgia told host Maya Jama that her favourite couple is ‘Tanya and Zack,’ and then followed up her blunder by saying, “I pronounce Zack because I always get it wrong. So, I just say Zack but I know that's obviously not his real name.”

Many fans found it disrespectful and compared the incident with her intentionally calling Kaz ‘Kez’ during her season.

One fan tweeted, "Georgia Steel mispronouncing Shaq's name was definitely on purpose. It's really not rocket science. It's a one syllable 4 letter name."

Another added, "Sorry did Georgia just say she says Zack instead of Shaq because it's easier to say??? No please...??? I know Maya was giving the side eye."

What is Georgia Steel's Instagram?

Georgia’s Instagram handle is @geesteelxwhere she mainly posts Fashion Nova collabs.
