Georgia Harrison fronts ITV sexual abuse documentary
Asked about the biggest challenge in making the documentary, she said: "I would say obviously the hardest part for me was having to see how widespread my video still is."I have a lot of people messaging me all the time, sending me clips of it. It's always something in the back of my mind, but having to really face head on exactly where it is and how many places it's in was a real struggle for me."The only way for it to be impossible for not only my video but any victim of image-based sexual abuse's video not to be online in the future is for there to be more awareness and for the government and higher-up companies within the internet to get together and face it head on."For me, I know it wasn't the easiest thing to do, it was the best thing I can do for my future and other women's future."In 2023, the previous Conservative government passed the Online Safety Act, requiring social media companies to protect users from harmful content.But last month, the Labour government's technology secretary Peter Kyle described UK laws on internet safety as "very uneven" and "unsatisfactory".The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) has been approached for comment.
Harrison, who has appeared on The Only Way is Essex and Love Island, also said she was regularly contacted by mothers whose children have been affected by fake videos created with artificial intelligence."It is the same feeling of humiliation, a violation of literally being de-clothed without your consent," she said."It's unconsented image-based abuse. Just because it's fake, doesn't mean it doesn't evoke the same emotion within the victim it affects."Harrison hopes "raising awareness" of these issues can "hopefully" mean "change within the internet, so in the future not just me but any person who has been a victim of revenge porn won't have to wake up every day wondering if it's still out there".
As part of her two-part series, Harrison met victims, a representative from a porn site and journalists.She said: "I have so much faith that eventually we will live in a world where unconsented imagery is far harder to share, especially on the normal web."Harrison has also spoken to MPs on the Women and Equalities Committee and at the Labour Party Conference about her experience.Bear was found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.He was released in January 2024 after serving about half his sentence in custody.Georgia Harrison: Porn, Power, Profit airs on 18 and 19 February at 21:00 GMT on ITV2 and ITVX

Harry says to Shakira: 'I have really tried with her [Helena], but we [Shakira and Harry] had like a week and it was, for me, the feelings were obviously way stronger and still are. 'I'm sorry I never like tried again. I really thought the door was just, like, slammed.' Shakira replies: 'Do you want some home truths… it's obviously the way you go about it and the steps you take in between to come to these conclusions obviously hurt people along the way. 'It's all well and good you saying 'hold my hands up guys, sorry' but you still hurt people.' Shakira adds: 'And it's a pattern' to which Harry says: 'Look, I'm either leaving here alone or with you.' After watching compromising clips of Harry during The Grafties, Conor dished some brutal truths to Harry as he gave him a harsh warning as he continues to entertain both Helena and Shakira. 'Is it just the thing of, you want what you can't have?' he asked him in the scenes yet to air, before issuing a poignant warning. 'You know by flirting with her [Shakira] what you're doing, you're prodding her, what is that for?' he went on. 'Just think about what you want… You'll end up with nobody.'

Love Island's Indiyah Polack in tears over Dami Hope's message on three-year anniversary
Love Island couple Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope are celebrating their three-year anniversary after falling for each other on the ITV2 show Love Island star Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope are celebrating their three-year anniversary after falling for each other on the ITV2 dating programme. The gorgeous TV personality took to her Instagram Stories to reveal the bouquet of flowers he bought for her on their special day. Along with red and white roses, Dami wrote her a sweet card that read: "Just wanted to steal a moment before the clock hits noon and remind you that, every day with you feels like the best kind of adventure. Thank you for filling my life with laughter, love, and all the fun in between. Here's to three years of endless memories and forever more, wifey." She also filmed a video of the two sitting in the car, reminiscing about the day he asked her to be his girlfriend three years ago. The MOBO Awards presenter also posted a selfie with Dami, adding in the caption: "Three years with my baby." Indiyah returned to the bouquet of flowers and filmed a short video for fans, telling them she 'just woke up with crust in her eyes' and was immediately gifted the flowers. "I was really happy with these this morning. Thank you so much! I love being with you - here's to many more amazing years," the star wrote. Indiyah gave fans a glimpse into their relationship, revealing their a lot of the time they spend together is 'doing lots of improv' and having fun. She posted a clip of the two pretending to be cowboys and said: "When people ask what we've been up to for three years. Lots of improv. Not a sane cell in sight btw." Earlier this year, the season eight star revealed she was diagnosed with ADHD, and she admitted she was fearful of how it could affect her career. As written on the NHS website, ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and is "a condition that affects people's behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse." Indiyah revealed she hadn't wanted to open up about it publicly in case it affected her career. She spoke to Shayna Marie and Zeze Millz on Hot Girl Talks on Capital XTRA: "There's a lot of things that have happened with me like mentally. "As a black woman, I had been shy to disclose, so recently I have been diagnosed with ADHD. And that was something I was very up in the air about talking about." She went on : "Because I didn't want that to be a factor of my career, or the factor of whether I get booked for jobs, or just a factor in everything. "Because I feel like being a black woman, we have a lot of things already against us. So, to go and chuck in another thing, it is just something I'd rather not tell them about."

Woman with 'world's biggest lips' reveals what she looked like before surgery
A woman who claims to have the 'world's biggest lips' has revealed what she looked like before undergoing dramatic surgery and getting copious amounts of lip filler. Andrea Ivanova from Bulgaria regularly hits the headlines due to her enhanced appearance, which has seen her fork out an estimated $27,000 on lip filler alone after starting her transformation in 2018. The 27-year-old has previously admitted she struggles to find love because of her bold look, but it hasn't stopped her from achieving her goal of having the most exagerrated lips and cheeks in the world. Now, Andrea has revealed what she looked like before altering her face via cosmetic enhancements. In her 'before' photos, a youthful Andrea can be seen with regular proportioned lips. But since undergoing her enhancement journey, she has become scarcely recognizable. Her long list of treatments included chin shaping, enlargement and lengthening; jaw shaping and lip augmentation; as well as cheekbone enhancement - all at once. She's previously spoken about how she likes to stand out from the crowd with her unique look. 'I like exaggerated things like huge lips, a face with many fillers, heavy and eccentric make-up. 'I don't like boring ordinary appearances and I am a fan of huge shapes and eccentric beauties. Natural beauty is boring to me so I decided to change my appearance radically.' The social media influencer has spoken openly about having had six procedures done in a single day as an 'experiment' - even though her usual doctor refused to do it. 'My doctor was afraid to inject more hyaluronic acid into my lips, but I was adamant that I wanted more, and I will not stop. 'I wanted to do six procedures at once. Until now, I always did these on different areas of the face on different days.' Andrea had previously only ever had a maximum of three needles in her face at the same time. 'But this time, I wanted to experiment with myself to see how many injections and [amounts of filler] would affect my body,' she said. She even had to seek out a doctor in Germany to do the procedures, which went ahead in February last year, as her usual surgeon simply refused. And even though Andrea was excited about the experience, she confessed it had been extremely painful. 'I have pain all over my face right now and my jaw and chin hurt a lot,' she said at the time. 'It's hard for me to smile because of the pain in my cheekbones and there's a pulling sensation over my face.' But Andrea insisted the feeling was normal after treatment because the 'filler hadn't settled into place'. Although she finds eating difficult, Andrea is adamant her lips 'don't hurt'. She added: 'I only feel a slight discomfort, but that's where I have the most amount of filler and where I've had injections the most amount of times. The more filler there is, the less the area hurts.' Despite the pain, Andrea doesn't have any plans to slow down or reduce her voluptuous look. The former philosophy student planned to go to Germany to visit the same surgeon, as her usual doctor is skeptical about going forward with her transformation.' But now even the German medical practitioner has revealed their concerns. 'I had no fears about having so many injections at once because I trust my doctor and they are a great professional in cosmetic surgery,' Andrea said. 'But they are afraid I'll get necrosis and have to have the tissue surgically removed from my lips if I carry on. 'There are risks involved, such as inflammation, and raised body temperature, especially with so much at once.' 'I have facial swelling and bruising right now, which is normal due to the many needles, but I think in a few days, I'll recover.' She continued: 'You shouldn't judge people for their looks. It's their taste and no one has the right to be offended because of it. 'I think I'm going to carry on doing multiple injections in one day going forward, as it makes me very happy.'
