We will always have a soft spot for Love Island's Georgia Steel. We know she ruffled a few feathers during her All Stars 2024 stint, but let's get real for a sec: without the ruffling of feathers, Love Island we would not watch.
The Love Island 2018, Love Island Games and Love Island: All Stars Islander brought the drama across the board, not to mention timeless soundbites like, 'I'm loyal', and 'I'm grateful for my natural long hair', and thus, has earned her spot in the Love Island Hall of Fame.
Alas, her appearance on the first All Stars resulted in a fair amount of online backlash (we've said it time and time again, but here it is again: it's Love Island, chill) and as such, the loyal babe has taken a minor step away from the spotlight and an even greater step away from the toxic bubble that is reality TV over the last year and half.
Saying that, she's still influencing like an absolute boss and dating a footballer, so she's not totally lost her showbiz sparkle. But from a brief glance of her Instagram grid, it's crystal clear that Georgia has chosen wellness over wildness these days.
And her latest career pivot confirms that. Georgia recently took to her Instagram grid to announce that she is now a qualified Pilates instructor.
Sharing a snap of her certificate and her trademark natural long hair, the Love Island star wrote, 'Pinch me!!!! Can’t quite believe I’m a qualified Pilates instructor 😭🤍✨🩰🤸🏼💫
'The most incredible day yesterday celebrating with family. Feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now. 🤍🤍🤍🤍.'
Not Georgia introducing us to emojis we never knew existed...
Naturally, her Love Island girlies were quick to congratulate the bendy queen.
Joanna Chimonides commented, 'Congratulations my angel girl!! Forever proud of you!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️', while Dani Dyer wrote, 'Well done baby ❤️❤️❤️', followed by Georgia Harrison adding, 'Makes a lot of sense! X'.
And it really does to be fair. Nice one, G.
What happened to Georgia Steel on Love Island: All Stars?
Georgia had a turbulent time on All Stars 2024. She famously reunited with Toby Aromolaran during the season, giving their relationship another chance after their previous history on Love Island Games; however, they experienced a rocky journey and eventually broke up shortly after the show ended. She also grew close to Callum Jones and Tom Clare in the South African villa.
Georgia faced severe online trolling during and after the show. She described feeling like 'the most hated woman in the country' and expressed shock at the hatred directed toward her.
The backlash stemmed from her controversial actions in the villa, including accusations of dishonesty during Movie Night, and clashes with fellow Islanders, notably Molly Smith over Callum.
