Love Island’s most controversial All Star quits social media after ‘cruel trolling and death threats’
LOVE Island’s most controversial All Star has quit social media after receiving ‘cruel trolling and death threats’.
The 25-year-old faced constant criticism since leaving the villa earlier this month.
Georgia Steel is the only contestant from the All Stars series who hasn’t shared anything on social media since the show ended.
A source told MailOnline: “Georgia felt like she needed to take a bit of an extended social detox. She was really quite shocked when she heard about the trolling she received while she was in the villa and wants to keep offline for a bit.
“It was a really horrible experience for her friends and family having to see such nasty comments and hate on her feed.
“She is really happy and in such a good place with Toby. She also knows she has had a lot of support online and is grateful.”
On All stars, Georgia was first coupled up with Toby Aromolaran who she’d had history with but he wasn’t 100% sure on her and wanted to keep his options open leaving Georgia to couple up with Callum Jones.
Although she seemed to be smitten with Callum, when Tom entered the villa as a bombshell, Georgia seemed to be drawn to him due to their history.
Secret chats she had with the boys were then exposed during the PDA awards.
The reality star was nominated by the public as the ‘snakiest’ contestant and a secret clip between her and Tom was shown.
In the video, she and Tom were seen having a deep and meaningful chat where Tom asked her if she would rather be with him or Callum.
She then said it would be him, despite saying something different to Callum.
Georgia’s family hit out against trolls after posting a statement to Instagram.
The statement read: “Love Island is an amazing TV show and we have loved watching this series as much as everybody else.
“The last few episodes have been difficult for us to watch, but what’s far worse is the hate Georgia is receiving online.
“It’s a TV show and everyone has their opinions, please remember it’s not real life!
“Sending vile threats and nasty messages and comments is totally unacceptable. Trolling is not OK.
“Georgia is a daughter, granddaughter, sister and friend, and these hurtful comments will not only devastate her when she leaves the villa, but have deeply hurt those around her.
“For the messages of love, support and kindness we see you and we thank you!”
