Georgia Steel has revealed that her family and friends received ‘death threats’ after her stint on Love Island All Stars.
The reality star, 25, appeared on the South Africa series last month, where she finished in fourth place with ex boyfriend Toby Aromolaran.
Her time on the show was turbulent, and she revealed after leaving the villa that she had been subjected to ‘vile trolls’ and ‘death threats’, causing her to briefly leave social media.
On Sunday, Georgia spoke to Sky News about how the online trolling affected her, and claimed her friends and family had also been targeted.
‘You don’t really know how to process that if I’m honest, you’re quite scared, you don’t know if the whole world hates you,’ she said.
‘My family and my friends, they had death threats. My mum got messages “How could you raise a girl like this?”
‘Yeah, which is awful, because like in reality… I just want to make the people that support and love me proud.’
Georgia then challenged the trolls over their actions, asking if they would dare say those things to a person’s face – and whether they had considered that their comments could be the thing to ‘tip someone over the edge’.
The influencer split from her Love Island beau Toby earlier this month, less than a month after the pair reached the final of the All Stars series together.
It was revealed that Toby had been the one to end the relationship, which had ‘blindsided’ Georgia.
Weeks before, Georgia had taken a break from social media following the backlash she received during her time on the ITV2 show.
