Love Island star Georgia Harrison reveals abusive ex boyfriend ‘spat in her face and pushed her out of moving car’

LOVE Island star Georgia Harrison has revealed shocking details of the abuse she suffered in a previous relationship, including being spat on and pushed out of a moving car.

In an emotional interview on We Need To Talk with Paul C Brunson on Tuesday, the 30-year-old reality star said an early relationship left her deeply traumatised, both emotionally and physically.

“He’d like hold me face down on a bed, where he’d spit in my face,” she recalled.

“He once kicked me out of a moving car, was moving slow, but it was still really traumatic.

“I was really bruised from the experience.”

The abuse extended to emotional manipulation and verbal degradation, Georgia said.

“The emotional abuse would be because he knew I’d never been naked with other men and stuff like that.

“He’d always say, ‘you might think you’re good-looking with your clothes on and all boys do, but actually you’re disgusting, like naked.’

“Anything you can imagine that you could say to someone, he would say to me.

“And I would then start to believe it,” she added. 

“I would get in trouble for speaking to certain people, going certain places.

“I just felt completely and utterly trapped. Those abusive relationships, they shape how you see yourself. 

“And it’s really hard to ever shake that off.”

Paul asked how Georgia how she broke free from that abusive relationship.

She replied: “It was really hard but eventually I moved away… thats when I started to realise that with the right support around me and being away from that person.

“I could slowly build myself up because actually in that relationship I felt isolated, I felt like if I ever spoke to any of my friends they were always a problem or I felt like I would get in trouble for speaking to certain people, going to certain places.

“I just felt completely and utterly trapped.”

Georgia, who is now expecting her first child with boyfriend Jack Stacey, 33, said she found it difficult to accept the love and stability of her new relationship after years of trauma.

She met Jack on a dating app last summer and described their pregnancy as a “beautiful surprise.”

“I don’t reckon it was until like probably 3 or 4 months in that I actually believed he was going to stick around.

“I was just so damaged by my other relationship experiences,” she said.

“I was convinced that after a few months I was just going to be lovebombed and this couldn’t be as good as it really was that actually it was.

“I don’t think it was until I was pregnant I was like there’s no way he’s ever going anywhere now. But he can still go though.”

Overcome with emotion, Georgia broke down in tears while speaking about Jack’s impact on her life.

“I just love him so much. Like I can’t, I can’t put into words how much he’s changed my life,” she said. 

“He’s changed me completely as a person. He’s made me love myself in ways I never thought I could. And he supports me through everything.

“I waited my whole life for someone to treat me the way he treats me. I just feel like happy all the time. I feel like more motivated. I feel more proud of myself.”

Georgia has been awarded an MBE for her work in online safety and cybercrime awareness after her own experience with intimate image abuse.

Britain’s best affordable car revealed as ‘fashionable and popular’ SUV that ‘give you everything you need’

BRITAIN’S best affordable car has just been revealed – and it’s a stylish, rugged SUV that proves budget-friendly doesn’t have to mean boring.

The Dacia Duster has taken the title of Best Value Car at the 2025 Autocar Awards, impressing judges with its bold looks, practicality, and unbeatable price tag.

Praised as both “fashionable and popular”, the Duster is winning over British drivers by delivering “everything you need” – and nothing you don’t.

Autocar’s expert panel said the SUV stood out in a market full of rising prices, thanks to its smart design, solid build and great value.

It might not be the cheapest car on sale – or even the cheapest Dacia – but it offers more for your money than many rivals.

Editor Mark Tisshaw said: “The Dacia Duster capitalises on the seemingly obvious idea of offering buyers everything they need, nothing they don’t, and just enough of the things they want.”

Far from a bare-bones motor, the Duster has a chunky, confident look with big wheels and an upright stance that leans into its off-roader image.

Inside, the dashboard and windscreen design even give off a hint of Land Rover Defender.

It comes in four trims – Essential, Expression, Journey and Extreme – with prices starting from just £19,380.

There are also three powertrains to choose from, including a hybrid, plus a proper 4×4 option for those needing real off-road ability.

Autocar’s judges were especially impressed by the Duster’s practicality and generous standard kit.

Features like touchscreen infotainment, parking sensors, and air-con come as standard on many models – a rarity at this price point.

Dacia’s UK Brand Director, Luke Broad, said: “Every time the Duster wins an award, it’s not just for its incredible value for money, but also for its style and practical design.

We give customers everything they need, and nothing they don’t, at the very best price.”

For drivers who want something tough, roomy and affordable, the Duster is a rare find.

The 4×4 version adds 217mm of ground clearance and a clever Terrain Control system with five modes to handle anything from muddy tracks to icy roads.

Since launching in the UK in 2013, Dacia has sold over 260,000 cars, with the Duster being one of the brand’s biggest hits.

It’s now the best-selling SUV to private buyers in Europe since 2018 – and one of the most trusted names in value motoring.

In a world of rising car prices and overly complicated tech, the Dacia Duster keeps things simple – but never basic.

And with the 2025 Best Value Car award under its belt, it’s official: Britain’s top affordable SUV really does give you everything you need.

‘We are so back’ – Arsenal fans in meltdown after learning club’s transfer plan for Eberechi Eze

CRYSTAL PALACE forward Eberechi Eze has emerged as a key target for Arsenal this transfer window – but the Gunners will not stop at just one addition to their attack.

Mikel Arteta is looking to bolster his squad following three consecutive second-place finishes in the Premier League.

The Gunners are expected to announce the arrivals of Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga in the coming days, with Christian Norgaard also set to join from Brentford.

But now they have directed attention towards attacking reinforcements.

Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres are understood to be two priority targets for the No9 position.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid ace Rodrygo has also been linked.

It emerged last week that Eze was another name being discussed by the Arsenal hierarchy.

The Athletic has reported that he is high on the club’s wishlist.

Arsenal chiefs are yet to make contact with Crystal Palace over a potential deal, but they are giving “serious consideration” to the idea of moving for him.

Eze has a release clause worth £60million plus add-ons in his contract, but Arsenal would look to negotiate for a slightly lower fee.

It has also been revealed that interest in Eze is separate to the club’s pursuit of a winger and a striker.

Fans of the Gunners have been sent into a frenzy as a result, with one person taking to X to write: “We are so back.”

Another said: “Imagine if Berta gives actually delivers an AM along with LW & ST.”

A third commented: “This would be an epic signing for Arsenal.”

While a fourth wrote: “My club is finally acting like the big club it is, now go get Gyokeres, Rodrygo, and Eze.”

Arsenal kick off their Premier League campaign with a trip to Old Trafford on August 17 to face Manchester United.

Love Island fakery row as viewers point out ‘proof’ Heart Rate Challenge is FIXED

LOVE Island’s sexiest ever Heart Rate Challenge sent hearts racing last night.

The infamous heart rate challenge made it’s return to the Love Island villa once again.

As part of the task, either the boys or the girls wear heart rate monitors as they are sat by the fire pit.

The Islanders then take their turns to dance on the opposite sex with either a strip tease or another sexy routine.

At the end of the challenge, the couple that raises the heart rates the most wins the challenge.

But as always, it’s a test of whether each contestant’s heart rate will be raised by the partner they are coupled up with or by another islander.

Now, after watching last night’s challenge eagle-eyed fans have spotted a major clue that it was fixed. 

Many were quick to realise that there was no heart rate monitor to be found on any of the islanders. 

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) fans expressed their confusion, one user said: “Still trying to find the heart rate monitor on them?  #loveisland”

Another added: “Mind you did anyone actually see a heart rate monitor on either of them????”

“And it’s another year we ask – does the mic double up as a heart rate monitor???” penned a third.

“Not one heart rate monitor in sight btw, Shakira don’t fall for this bait,” commented a fourth. 

An ITV insider shut down the speculation however, telling us:  “The Islanders definitely wear heart rate monitors and they can be seen on the likes of Harry and Ben in last night’s episode.”

22 year-old Shakira Khan was left dumbfounded after her partner, Harry Cooksley’s heart rate rose the most for love rival Helena with the pair exchanging raunchy comments throughout the challenge.

Helena left the boys reeling when she made a beeline for footballer Harry.

Kneeling on the floor, she suggestively sucked his finger as the boys were practically screaming.

Helena then whispered in Harry’s ear “I want to f*** you.”

He immediately told Tommy to pass it on to the boys afterwards, leaving Dejon is open-mouthed.

During his go, Harry whispered “do you still want to f*** me” in Helena’s ear.

Spain hol chaos latest after fuming locals threaten to BLOCK busy airport amid protest mayhem & ‘tourist go home’ alert

SPANISH union bosses have issued an update after threatening to launch strikes in hotels across the Balearic Islands this month.

The unions threatened to blockade Majorca’s Palma airport and launch protests across popular tourist attractions in a major escalation to a dispute over pay for hotel staff.

And hotels, restaurants and clubs in the Balearic Islands were gearing up to be hit by walkouts as some 180,000 workers threatened a strike.

The unions announcement yesterday of chaos-causing demos in airport arrivals and departures led to last-minute talks with employer representatives and a 13.5 pay increase offer union bosses accepted.

And, just hours after threatening to blockade the airport on July 10, union bosses confirmed they have called off the Balearic Islands hotel strike that was due to affect Irish holidaymakers.

UGT Balears, one of the two main unions behind the planned walkout over five days in July, confirmed overnight: “The strike in the hotel and catering sector has been called off following the pre-agreement between us and hotel bosses for the new collective agreement.

“Salary increase of 13.5 per cent in three years, the largest increase in the history of the Balearic Islands.”

The Majorca Hotel Business Federation confirmed around the same time: “An agreement in principle has been reached and the UGT has agreed to desist from the strikes it had announced and cancel them.”

Second union CCOO is now expected to come on board along with employer representatives in the bar-restaurant and nightclub sectors which would also have been affected by strikes although to a lesser degree.

The final agreement sealing the eleventh-hour deal is expected to be signed next week.

The airport blockade threat is thought to have been key to the decision of unions and hotel employer representatives in Majorca to start negotiating again after the breakdown of talks and strike announcements last Thursday.

The UGT announced around midday yesterday a demonstration at Palma airport would take place on the first day of planned strike action on July 10 “in both the departures and arrivals areas.”

It added in a statement: “The aim is to ‘block these accesses’ to the Balearic capital’s aerodrome.”

It also announced demonstrations in other key tourists areas including Magaluf for the same day.

Walkouts involving an expected 180,000 hotel and catering sector workers in Majorca, Ibiza and Menorca had also been announced for July 18, 19, 25 and 31.

The salary rise over three years will see workers get six per cent extra this year, four per cent next and 3.5 per cent in 2027.

Last week an eleventh-hour deal was announced to avert the threat of hotel strike action in Tenerife and three of the other Canary Islands in the Atlantic archipelago.

The lifting of the strike threat in the Balearic Islands is not expected to impact on actions planned for this summer by groups protesting against over-tourism.

A massive anti-tourist demonstration took place in Palma on June 15, with government officials saying 8,000 people took part but organisers putting the number at 30,000.

Around 100 noisy activists banging drums surrounded upmarket eatery Cappuccino Borne next to a McDonald’s in the centre of Palma after their protest finished.

Protestors swarmed a table of dining tourists and chanted “go home” and “go to hell“.

Police moved in to ease tension as the demonstrators held up cardboard posters reading: “As You Come, I Have To Go.”

The protestors also chanted ‘’The Streets Will Always Be Ours’, Go Home’ in English and ‘No Balconing’ in a reference to the young tourists who have traditionally been blamed by islanders for the dangerous practice of jumping from Magaluf hotel balconies into their swimming pools or trying to climb between balconies while under the influence of drink and drugs.

The Balearics Islands Government vice-president Antoni Costa said afterwards their behaviour had been “unacceptable.”
