EXCLUSIVE Georgia Harrison to be awarded an MBE after campaigning on tackling violence against women following ex Stephen Bear's imprisonment
Georgia Harrison will be awarded an MBE for her campaigning efforts on tackling violence against women and girls. MailOnline can reveal the former Love Island star, 30, discovered she had made the King's Birthday Honours list a few weeks ago and is set to officially receive the accolade during the royal's annual celebrations later this month. The reality favourite turned documentary maker, who's currently expecting her first baby, is being recognised after dedicating her career to raising awareness of 'revenge porn' and issues surrounding consent, with the overall aim of improving online safety. In 2020, Celebrity Big Brother 's Stephen Bear shared explicit footage of Georgia on his OnlyFans profile without her consent and after successfully taking him to court, the Love Island: All Stars contestant was granted record damages of £207,900, the highest ever sum awarded in an image abuse case. Stephen, 35, famed for his appearances on TV show Ex on the Beach, was found guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films, and was handed a 22-month prison sentence in 2022. After serving just half of his prison time, Stephen was released in January, but Georgia continues to campaign for women and girls following the painful 'violation' of her privacy. The former Love Island star discovered she had made the King's Birthday Honours list a few weeks ago and is set to officially receive the accolade during the royal's annual celebrations A source told MailOnline: 'Georgia is incredibly proud to receive such an honour. 'She has been campaigning and working hard for many years now, to be recognised for her efforts means everything to her. 'Georgia will continue to raise awareness, hopefully this will be the beginning of more improvements for women and girls and their fight for online safety.' The TV star has been at the centre of two ITV documentaries, Revenge Porn, and Porn, Power, Profit, which explored both her own personal experience and how predators make money from the industry. Georgia has spoken out about how she felt 'ashamed', 'violated', and 'used' after the recording of her having sex with Stephen went viral including on an endless list of porn websites. Speaking in Revenge Porn, Essex-born Georgia said: 'Two years ago, my life changed forever when CCTV footage of me having sex with Stephen Bear went viral. He filmed and shared it without my consent then tried to deny it was me… 'I think I expected some form of empathy, remorse, maybe that he would realise what he had done… what a slap in the face that on top of everything, he thought he could lie his way publicly through this.' On her decision to waive her right to anonymity, Georgia said ahead of speaking in court: 'Hopefully one day, girls can look at me and think 'She went in there and done it, she was strong. We can do it.' In 2023, Georgia attended a meeting at No 10 among other celebrities to discuss online abuse with Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan. Georgia was one of the voices that helped to establish the Online Safety Act 2023, which aims to make the internet safer for users by placing new duties on service providers. During the recorded meeting, Georgia explained how there needs to be more in place for victims of online crimes as well as support for those going through the legal process. She said: 'So many victims give up during the process because it is just too much for them, or they are not sure if they are doing or saying the right thing. Sometimes they feel like they are getting victim blamed slightly 'If they just had someone to lean on during the process they would not feel so much like they have to withdraw, they would have an inner strength in them, and they would have advice on what to do and what to say along the timeline of events.'

Pregnant Georgia Harrison reveals she has a 'whole new drive' to change the world for the better - after announcing she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jack Stacey
Georgia Harrison revealed she has a 'whole new drive' to change the world for the better - just weeks after announcing she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jack Stacey. The former Love Island star, 30, explained in a new interview that she wants to make the world a better environment for her unborn baby to grow up in by continuing her campaigning on the issue of revenge porn. Georgia told OK! Magazine: 'I initially thought of my little sisters and brother when I was campaigning – hoping to make things different for them. 'Now, I have this whole new drive – I want the world to be a better place because I'm bringing my own child into it.' The reality TV star met Jack, 33, on a dating app last summer and described her pregnancy as a 'beautiful surprise'. Georgia said: 'We both definitely wanted children, but we didn't quite plan on it this soon, we might've tried to have a fun summer beforehand! But once we'd taken it in, we realised this was the right time. The star added that It's 'amazing to have the gift of being pregnant', as so many people struggle for a long time and for some, the dream never comes true. Georgia also explained to the publication that she was hesitant before starting her relationship with City worker Jack after her former partner Stephen Bear, 35, shared a private video of them on the internet without her consent. The Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star explained that she was quite 'pessimistic' about love in general after the ordeal. However, she wanted to make an effort to meet someone. Now, she has her partner Jack who treats her well and the pair are expecting their first child together. Elsewhere in the interview, Georgia was particularly emotional about telling her mother, Nicola, that she was expecting. The star said that her mum has watched her 'go through everything' and has always reassured her that everything will be okay and that she would finally meet someone and get her 'happy ending'. So, Georgia added that her mother seeing her at this happy stage in life is 'such a relief for her'. The stunner announced her happy news via Instagram last month after a whirlwind ten-month romance with Jack. She told followers: 'We've been keeping a secret! Me and Jack are having a baby! Due November 2025, we can't wait to welcome this little one into the world and embrace all the joy and love he or she will bring. 'I still can't believe I've finally got everything I ever wanted and I couldn't be more grateful… And just like that 2 are about to become 3.' Georgia opened up about the pregnancy in an interview with Ok! Magazine and The Daily Mirror. She told the publication: 'When you know, you know. I know it's cringey but that's definitely how we feel. Anyone who knows us knows how strong we are, and how happy we make each other. 'We both definitely wanted children, and while some may say it feels too soon, we know that this is amazing news and we couldn't be happier.' Georgia added: 'If we're lucky enough to be able to have kids, why not have them sooner rather than later?' She explained that the couple have 'lived' and 'partied' so much, that they're ready to settle down and start their family. Georgia and Jack met on a dating app ten months ago and are now living together in Essex as they prepare to become parents. In the interview, she revealed that it was the first time she had ever used a dating app, and Jack had never seen any of her shows prior to their first date. In January, Georgia revealed her hunky boyfriend on Instagram for the first time, sharing a gallery of loved-up snaps of the pair on holiday in Columbia. The reality TV star revealed in October that she had sparked up a relationship with someone who is not in the public eye. Previously Georgia, who found love again eight months after dating Anton Danyluk on Love Island All Stars, had kept her new man's identity covered as she posed for photos hiding his face. Discussing her new man, she previously told The Sun that he is 'out of the public eye', explaining: 'It's really refreshing and he's very grounded.' 'It's not something I've been shouting from the rooftops yet but it's going really, really well, and I'm really enjoying my time with him.' Adding that she feels she can be 'completely and utterly myself' when she's around him, Georgia concluded: 'For the first time in a while, I've met someone that I do think is a really good person and I enjoy being around.' The reality star previously dated Celebrity Big Brother winner Stephen Bear, but was left devastated after he secretly filmed them during an intimate moment and shared the video online. After being found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photos and films, Georgia's ex Bear was sentenced to 21 months in prison in March 2023. He was released in January.
