What did I miss?
Georgia Harrison has revealed that Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has come at the perfect time following her revenge porn scandal.
Last year the TV star’s ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear was found guilty of sharing intimate videos of him and Harrison on OnlyFans and sentenced to 21 months in prison. She will now be put to the test in the Channel 4 series, which will see stars take part in an intensive training programme for those preparing to join Britain’s elite special forces.
During an emotional chat on the latest episode, she said she wanted to test how strong she could be, and that the show was her “time to show that I’m much bigger than what happened to me.”
What, how and why?
Love Island star Harrison spoke about his feelings during the tense episode which saw celebrities abseil down a dam and fall headfirst from a platform into water in the dark.
At one point, she said of her experience: “When you go through something like this, it really takes a toll on your self-esteem. I felt violated, embarrassed and embarrassed.”

“I felt like I had diminished my self-worth. I saw myself as damaged goods. I feel like now is my time to show that I am much more than what happened to me.”
Harrison was invited into a discussion with the production staff, including chief instructor Billy Billingham and Foxy (Jason Fox), where he described his experiences interacting with Bear.
“My best friend died during that time, my ex-boyfriend died, so those two years were just about trying to get through it all,” she said through tears. “Two years of just trying to get through it, trying to be strong enough to be happy, accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and get by.

“A lot of that had to happen quickly, because I had to be strong to go to trial. I had to put aside a lot of my grief.”
Harrison told staff, “It’s actually nice to be here for a few days and not have someone ask me, ‘Are you OK?’ There’s a lot more to my personality than that.”
“This is the perfect way to release me from two years of struggle.”

When a team member pointed out that the course couldn’t have come at a better time for Star, she agreed: “It certainly did.”
