And if he hadn’t been confronted enough by his exes, he enjoyed a stint on Celebrity Ex on the Beach earlier this year. But Georgia didn’t meet the man of her dreams, which encouraged her to hit the Love Island villa for the second time in Love Island All Stars, earlier this year. 

The romance soon fizzled out afterwards and Willerton, who won the title of Miss Universe Great Britain said she found it difficult.Her 2014 stint on Splash! won her praise for her zero-f***s-given attitude to diving, although her brief spell that same year in the I’m A Celebrity jungle was slightly less celebrated.

The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.

The pair came runners-up during the final in March – and while it seemed like they were close on the show, it appeared to have fizzled out shortly after.
