Georgia Steel says she's flooded with 'intense death threats' after Love Island
Terrified Georgia Steel says sickening threats since returning from South Africa have left her scared to leave the house.
The Love Island beauty is stepping back from social media because she can no longer cope with the cruel trolling after even more nasty messages were sent. During the All Star series, she was involved in a so-called love square with Callum Jones, 27, Toby Aromolaran, 24, and Tom Clare, 24.
Georgia and Toby decided to give it a go after catching each other's eye and the couple went on to finish in fourth place but since going back on the reality show, things have got out of hand. Her social media team were reduced to calling out "vile threats" across the platforms when she was in the villa and last month and shared a statement on her official Instagram account on her behalf.
Now she has spoken about the trauma and said: "I felt like the most hated woman in the country. I had no clue it would be that bad. I’m 25 and I wanted to meet the right person for me, and the only way to do that was to get to know people - I don’t see the boys receiving the hate that I did.

It’s all really confusing and hard for me to get my head around." She also admitted to The Sun that she had a "gut feeling" that she was going to receive backlash after the drama-filled PDA Awards. The episode saw clips of Georgia chatting with Toby, despite getting to know Callum, leading to a row in the villa. She said she now feels "anxious" when she leaves the house and is always wondering if anyone is going to say anything to her.

Her appearance on the show provoked several grim messages and she is the only Islander to have not posted since the end of the series in South Africa on February 19. Despite Georgia and Toby still going strong, she has decided to leave social media for a while and clear her head after being bombarded with taunts.
"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," a source told MailOnline. "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."
Those sending awful messages should probably be directed to new research, which has ranked the 10 most successful contestants who were dumped from the villa. It revealed Georgia has come out on top and, according to BestBettingSites.com, she is worth an estimated £3.2million and has an impressive Instagram following of two million.
After appearing on the fourth series of the ITV2 reality show, Georgia returned to Love Island Games and All Stars. She's also starred on Celebs on the Ranch, Celebs Go Dating and Ex on the Beach. She has collaborated with big online fashion brands including Missy Empire and I Saw It First. After Georgia, in second place is Jack Fowler with an estimated net worth of £2.9million.
