After a year of challenges, obstacles and hurt, it’s no wonder Georgia Steel worships the sanctuary she calls home. The Love Island star has gone through a public break-up and suffered horrendous backlash – including death threats – after appearing on the All Stars version of the show back in January. But, thankfully now she’s in a much more settled place – and a big part of that is thanks to her three storey, four-bedroom house in Yorkshire.
“My home is now my little safe space,” she exclusively tells OK! when we take a tour around her gorgeous abode. “I love having the girls around but I can be finicky about boys.” For 26-year-old Georgia – who calls herself a “controversial character” – creating a tranquil haven where she can block out the noise is a non-negotiable.
And, after first purchasing the property back in 2021, she’s finally made it her home...
“I was 19 when I first did Love Island [in 2018] and I said from day one that my goal was to get on the property ladder. I had rented before but I knew I always wanted that stability. Plus, it’s a new build and I’m a bit of a germaphobe – I loved that no one had ever sat on my toilet seat before! “At first I was looking at London but my parents sat me down and s uggested I look at York.
It’s where I grew up and I feel comfortable here, I can go about my daily life without any anxiety. People don’t really come up to me here. I’m not too far from my family, which was important after.
