Georgia Kousoulou has spoken out to address rumours that she and boyfriend Tommy Mallet have fallen out with their TOWIE co-star Liam ‘Gatsby’ Blackwell after fans noticed that he was absent from their pregnancy announcement during the 2020 Christmas special and didn’t congratulate them following the arrival of their son Brody in May.

Georgia and Tommy were such close friends with Gatsby that she referred to him as “family” and once told him, “I love you unconditionally,” however it seems they’re no longer on speaking terms.

Chatting exclusively to Closer ahead of the release of her new show Georgia & Tommy: Baby Steps, the reality star admitted she was reluctant to discuss her relationship with Gatsby as she wanted to avoid “drama”.

She told us, “I’m not going to comment on that one just because I feel like I’m in a really good headspace.

“All that drama from years ago… I’m the new me now. I don’t talk about that sh*t no more.”

“I never said that I was leaving permanently. I just left to go on maternity and have my baby. I’m on maternity now so I don’t know when I’ll be back on, but I’ll definitely be back on there somewhere.

“Right now I’m just enjoying the chill bubble. You can’t get these moments back. I don’t want to rush in.”

Still, the much-loved couple are back on our screens VERY soon with their new show and Georgia told us it “made sense” to document them taking the next step in their relationship.
