Georgia Steel has hinted that not everything was as it seemed during her relationship with fellow Love Islander Sam Bird

Georgia is currently taking part in the sixth series of Celebs Go Dating along with Pete Wicksand Kerry Katona, but said that finding love on the show that made her famous wasn’t a priority.

The comments were part of an interview with The Sun, where Georgia explained that she was pressured into staying with Sam after filming ended.

“It wasn’t working, we were different people, but I really thought, ‘Oh my God, people are only going to like me if we’re together’ because that’s what you’re renowned for," she said.

"I was guided. That is what happens when you come out. I definitely felt like that.”

At the time, rumours were rife that the relationship had ended because Georgia – who coined the catch phrase “I’m loyal” during her time on the ITV show – had cheated on Sam with a recent ex.

“The relationship ended after Georgia was accused of being unfaithful, after she met up with her ex,” a source told The Sun.

“But Georgia insists she hasn't been disloyal at all and has told Sam that nothing actually happened. She did meet up with her ex because she still had loads of his stuff and wanted to give it back,” the insider added.

“They ended up having a bit of a heart to heart, with Georgia admitting things weren't going very well with Sam and she ended up staying the night - but in the spare bedroom."
