I just think you're wasting time and in that amount of time I could be getting a proper connection elsewhere. Yeah, you're going to be blocking me from seeing my husband. Exactly. There we go. Hi guys, welcome back to Tea at 4. In this episode today, we have a really important chat with Love Island's Georgia Steel. In between 2022 and 2023, Georgia was scammed by ex-footballer Medi Alabimba. He duped her into giving him 32,000 pounds to fund his luxury lifestyle. The serial scammer had already been in prison for fraud before he met Georgia, and is now back in prison for breaching the conditions of his licence. After having this experience, Georgia is joining us to chat about how to stay safe in the online dating world and what red flags we should look out for.

It's a great listen, peeps. Hope you enjoy. Hi guys, welcome back to T-It-4. I'm Lauren. And I'm Christy and this is the podcast where we talk all things that normally stay in the group chat. However, today we have a very special guest. We do and do it. Please, can we introduce Georgia Steele?

Woo! Thank you. Georgia, we're so excited to have you on. I'm so excited to be here. I'm a bit nervous. No. Let's get cracking. Let's get cracking.

Yes. So, Georgia, yes, we do know you from Love Island, but today you're here on a very special cause. Yeah. Would you care to explain to the audience why that is? So with it being fresh as week, I've just done a campaign about being safe online, knowing how to look for the warning signs of scams and scammers

and how to remain safe, still have fun, still put yourself out there, but just maybe some things to look out for to make sure you're safe. Yeah, why would you say the need for this kind of guidance for online scams is more important now than ever, other years? I think it's so popular now. Like, I think it's about 50% of, well, I know it's 49% of freshers do get scammed, which is wild. That's half of them.

And obviously I got scound when I was, I think, 2021, it's all a blur to me now, but a similar age. And it can be really damaging. And I just think you need to put awareness out there. I think it's super important. And from my experience, I kind of want to help others if I can. 100%. Would you mind sharing a little bit about that experience for people that might not know? No, of course.

I mean, I did a documentary on Netflix. So if you want to have more depth, then definitely watch that. but I met someone and yeah I was scammed completely had no idea about it and yeah we got photographed and that's how it all came out basically I had no idea I'd I'd known him for a couple of weeks and yeah it was just a crazy whirlwind like even just asking about it I don't even remember because I think it's like human instinct when you go through trauma you do kind of forget it your brain forgets it yeah so it's really difficult for me to kind of of remember it off the cuff.

So I would definitely recommend the documentary. And that's not me just saying, going to watch the, that's just giving you more awareness of my experience with what I went through. So obviously this campaign that you're doing at the moment, it's to kind of see the warning signs, the red flags to split out for online scam

or like romance fraud. Yeah. Would you be able to share a bit more about what that is? Yeah, so I've partnered with Tinder to basically spread awareness to pause when you're online. Obviously, Tinder, is a place where people can connect and some amazing romances

start from Tinder so I think it's incredible but I just think you have to really be careful especially during Fresh's Week because you're young and you're targeted and yeah Tinder just want to get the message out there really which I think is so important hence why I'm behind the whole campaign as well yeah yeah it's got really clever acronyms

hello I'm up into school acronyms to be fair it's like so the P is pay nothing right? Obviously, don't share any of your money. A is avoid pressure. Yeah. Massive one, because I feel like a lot of people get into that situation. Yeah.

But in the news so largely this year, it was like that lady that got scound out of £800,000 by the AI Brad Pitt. Yeah. Like, it's crazy. And it's like emotional as well. Yeah. Like emotional pressure, which is really hard to do it with, I think. 100%.

You unmask inconsistencies. So that's kind of like, If you're seeing anything that's a bit red flaggy, a bit that you're questioning, just pull yourself away from it and pause. That's going back to the first one as well. Amazing. S screenshot? Yeah.

Anything that you feel that is a bit off, you don't feel is right, then you need to screenshot it and report it straight to the app. And Tinder will obviously follow it up and take more depth in the report. Amazing. And then the last one is E, escalate offline slowly. Obviously, if you're going to be. going to meet someone that you've met from an app that is the next step in a relationship and tinder is a relationship app right where you want to build a connection but i feel like you really need to be

a hundred percent sure you need to meet in public maybe take a friend um especially if you're young as well i think yeah you've got to be really careful with them things you hear some horrendous stories that happens so um yeah just really make sure you're 110 percent not even 100 percent 110% I think until you meet anyone that you've met online. Yeah. I do kind of agree because I just imagine fresh as week, you're so excited, you're getting into uni, away from your parents and like your friends as well because you're in that midst of that, oh my God, I'm meeting somebody new.

They all kind of like push you to like, let's go, let's go and do it. But it's great that Tinder have this like, the, is it pause? Five words? Five words, five letters. That's it. Five letters to kind of get you like slow down. Even though yes, it's a great new experience, but just reflect, analyze and assess the situation. that you're in before you know get into something like you might regret i mean i think freshes is such

an amazing time like people really look forward to freshers and still have fun still connect with people online but just pause like just take a step back don't get too wrapped up in things don't get too emotional to things and just yeah have a breather and then evaluate if it feels right carry on if it doesn't take a step back screenshot and report yeah i think it's actually a really good point to make Like I, you could even apply this for other things. Like when I was a fresher, I remember almost getting scammed into like my uni accommodation. Something about like that time of life where you were just maybe a little bit more susceptible than usual to like, not scams, but like being taken advantage of. Totally.

And it's young and naive to the world. And I think this campaign is definitely so important with doing that. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but people maybe sometimes have like a visual of. people that get into these kind of traps, like the kind of victims to that. You have been on Love Island, like you've, you, a very successful woman, woman. What would you say to the people that say, like, oh, only a certain type of person gets caught in these kind of online situations? Well, firstly, thank you.

A scammer is a predator, and if you're scammed, you're a victim. And I feel like sometimes, if that is the case, that's just the way it is. Like you cannot help it. I agree with the fact that when you're 20, 21, you are maybe more naive, you're more receptive to having these certain things happen. But I don't think that's something you want to change about yourself. I think it's nice to be open and to trust people.

It's just learning not everyone out there is trustworthy. And just being a bit more vigilant of that. In your kind of personal story, what was the telling moment? Because a lot of these people will be going through this kind of process and you don't always want to accept or admit defeat that like, oh my God, I fucked up. Totally. I think for a long, long time, even before I did my documentary and a lot of press about it, the reason I did all that was because I really healed from my experience.

Because the first two years, I was so embarrassed that I found it really, really difficult to accept the fact that it kind of happened to me and that I really thought it was my fault for a long time. And then obviously, through the healing and everything, you kind of discover that it's not just you, I had no way of getting out of that situation. Like, it's not my fault that I met someone and he was a scammer. Like, what am I going to do? You just don't know these things. And they're so sophisticated now that you're literally going to have no idea. So this is why the campaign is so important because anything, anything that you think is triggering, anything that doesn't seem right,

any emotional pressure, anything, you just have to really quit, quit while you're ahead. I guess this talk is about things that happen online. Yeah. Obviously there are red flags also in real life as well. Yeah. Was there anything in your personal experience or through learning through other personal experiences like what are the signs?

I think obviously I'd just come off the show and I was 19 and my life was so hectic at that point that maybe I was more vulnerable. I was living in London on my own at the time. I was so young. I was, my whole life had changed. So I think I probably wasn't as aware to the, to the red flags that I would be, maybe now. But that's no excuse for saying that it was my fault at all.

I said, it definitely wasn't. And there was nothing at the time that made me feel that anything was off until the pepperazzi took a photo of was walking down the street. I had no idea. And still was in disbelief where I'd probably say a couple of months after it. after it happened. So, yeah, no signs at all. But I think online, it's,

you can really maybe see them a bit quicker because the language would be off. The phrasing might be difficult to like comprehend. And I just think, yeah, it would be, from the documentaries I've seen and read about online, I just think, yeah, there's more that you can go off than in person. Because in person,

an actor. So it's like... It takes a special type of person to be able to do this. I think what scares me now is like because we're in the currency of like AI now as well it's just like anybody can be anyone online. Like you can find any information on anybody online as well. You can create profiles, you can create like a character or a person and you can literally just play this out. I've got things like chat GPT.

I could be like create, let me write me a story about a rich billionaire LFSA for instance and I can play into that character. Do you know what I mean? So it's like, I love that there's like campaigns that are out there to kind of emphasize this. Like moving with the time. Yeah, I love that there's companies here moving with the times and making sure that people are safe online. But it just goes to think about the times that I've been on dating apps, have I been catfitched? Or has anybody I've spoken to being a bit like, hmm, it's a bit weird or have I taken it back?

I don't know. I hate to say it, but I think so much of, so many of us have been catfish. You know that trend on TikTok at the moment It's like rare aesthetic? Rare aesthetic, what's that? It's just a silly little thing at the moment It's like the morning after you go to school and you've just spent the whole night talking to a stranger online

You call your boyfriend Like when I was younger I had so many different Twitter boyfriends I don't know who they were I don't think they were even real But like why was that normalised back then I've got Austin Butler's agent in my DMs on TikTok asking if I want to go out of him because he chose me but like if you

if you like I don't know if it catches you in maybe a vulnerable moment or just like or if it generally does look so believable which it does like you can get drug right under that kind of oh 100% so Christy was saying earlier we were having a conversation about this like what do you do

when you are kind of protecting yourself you said voice notes voice notes yeah if a guy if I was talking something online if they don't send a voice note I know you're fake I am convinced that you're fake Because I do feel like if you really want to like speak to somebody, you want to, you just want to know more about them.

So why don't know, what better way than let me hear your voice. See, I'm shy. Really? I find that really shy. I mean, I would later down the line, but at the beginning or I'd be far too shy. Not you would just say, hey, how are you? How'd be like, I'd probably stood that. I said, I kept practicing the first voice note I said.

Don't get me wrong. Like, after a good six, seven tries, play it back. Oh, that doesn't sound right. Go again. But I need to, I need to hear it. Yeah. If I don't hear you leave me, I will leave you on red, you will marinate on the corner until I'm like, let me continue the conversation.

That'll be my goal to. No voice note, no, no, no date. I know. I do like that. I hate. Yeah, the voice note, they can voice note me, but me voice note in there. Really? Scares me.

What about you, Lauren, what were yours? What would my, I love a reverse image search. What's that? Like, so if I get someone's photo, I'm reverse image searching it on Google to find where it's come from. So how do you reverse it? How do you reverse it? So just on Google lens, it's amazing. Oh, I've never ever used that.

Georgia, you should get involved. I'd absolutely expose myself in one of these episodes. I saw a guy in like Battersea Park and I was like, oh, you look familiar. I took a picture of him on the slide. This is not good. I don't recommend. I put it into this Google lens and I found everything from like his hinge profile. No, you're joking.

Like wedding photos on a person's portfolio. That is, wait a minute. So he was married but had hinge. No, no. He had, he wasn't married. I just said. I thought I recognized him and I was just like, God, where do I know him from? And it showed up every single thing online of his face.

And it was everything from. That is crazy. Wow. Oh, you can put that in chat, GBT, yeah. Like, who is this? Definitely. Probably, or just get their names and find them on LinkedIn. I mean, if you see me stalking your LinkedIn, just, just me confirm that you're a real person.

Do you know what? Isn't it crazy that we've got to do stuff like this now? Yeah. It's scary. but it's also amazing we have the tools to be able to do that. Because like back in day, oh, it was so scary. What was that like coming out of Love Island? Were you like trying to go more to people in real life

or were you having a go on the apps? What was the line? God, I didn't have time for the apps. No? No. Just having them left right asena. I think I was just doing show after show at that point. So it was just like, if I meet someone on a show, great.

That was literally the situation for me back then. God, I love that. And I guess when you are meeting people in real life, you're less inclined to want to search them up maybe or did you still have your wits about you the same i don't think i was so i didn't even know that was a thing i wish i did yeah i would i've never searched anyone up have you not how no i mean not i have their names yeah not the photos yeah i thought that was just an american thing like google image drop it they're going up the fbi oh i have no i've really googled oh i've done research on names yeah yeah um but yeah i'd love to do the image thing

I feel like a detective. I feel like there's something in being a public figure and like you say going on Love Island does it make you scared about sharing so much about yourself that people can use as like little details as in to... Totally. Because I find that on dating apps. I don't want to give so much away that like it has someone telling me

what I want to hear rather than what they actually want to actively ask me. Yeah. No, totally. I feel for me I really had to put up, like obviously my social media I really want to connect with my followers I think that's so important and I want to be genuine

and I want to give back because without them I wouldn't wouldn't be where I am but I think it's also really important to keep some of your private life to yourself and like to your close people to your close family your close friends and I do like it that way

I share what I want to share I connect as much as I can without being too emotionally involved yeah you described a little bit about like maybe the shame that you felt around that. In these situations where people might be caught under a guise of like romance fraud or just generally being decepted by someone, what would you say is like a good way to go about it?

Like did you share with friends? Did you? I'm very lucky. I have a very strong family unit and obviously I was in London at the time on my own and after it happened I believe I went. That time is such like a blow. for me now but um i went back to my family in north yorkshire and i was with them i think for at least a month just come into terms of things because yeah it was it was a really confusing time and i was so shameful yeah i just i was with my family to be honest um my mum my dad and my brother and yeah we just fixed it all together but amazing yeah that support system yeah i guess in things like i assume this was a

money situation. Yeah. In terms of your confidence, did you, how soon after this did you go back into dating? Definitely took a while. If I could remember rightly, actually, I think I went straight back on a show quite soon after, yeah, which I don't think was a good idea. But again, I was so young at the time. I had a new management, like, I didn't know what was going on really.

And I was just saying, I was just, I felt more like I was getting told to do things. things rather than choosing things that I probably aligned with more and I didn't really have the confidence to say no because this was a whole new experience for me so I think I did a show straight after actually and yeah I mean I was just back on the back on the hamster wheel quite quickly to be honest I don't think until to I don't think until COVID I really dealt with it because that's when you couldn't go out couldn't do anything I couldn't go to events I couldn't do my shoes Like there was nothing for me to do except stay at home and like deal with all the demons

of like coming off a reality show which was obviously amazing but also there is things to deal with from that especially being so young obviously my experience with the scam I think yeah there was a lot for me to kind of unravel so it wasn't until COVID that I really really dealt with it on a deep level straight after I think I took a month off

and then was back on it really and I needed a bit longer than that ideally for sure I was going to answer do you feel like a question for both of everybody here actually do you feel like we can generally as people avoid being scammed I feel like just the everyday thing

because no thinking like like this in regards to like when you're going out you could get scammed off like a couple of quid buying this like nobody is people are genuine but how genuine are people actually do you know what I'm trying to say it's a really good question I mean obviously I think it's important to get the information out there

to try and educate young people on it as much as we can because it's becoming so much more popular now with people getting scammed. But I also believe could I have done anything in my situation? No, I think if it was going to happen to me it was going to happen to me. I mean, I use it to a positive now.

It happened to me so I can spread awareness and try and help other people and I will use my following for that. But yeah, I think that's a really tricky question. I think we can educate as much as we can and try and get people's knowledge like experienced as much as we can but I don't know whether we can swerve it

if we're being targeted if I'm totally honest and I would say I hate to say it but it's like even a bigger thing for women like online dating safety and things like that I have definitely felt out of my depth so many times like would you say for people that are like dating online

they should be talking to them for a specific period before they meet or because there's a different rhetorical line. People are like, oh, you know, sex and sissy it. Just go meet them. Just go like hash it all out. Like don't do the talking beforehand. Like there's so many different narratives we see online.

I'm a weird one. I don't really trust online dating too tough. I've only done it twice. But with me, it's like I'll see the person. Yeah. I'll see online. And then try to see them in real life somewhere at a party. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm like that. I'm an observer. I like to, you know. A natural setting. She'll set in. Okay, cool. So I saw you online. That's your profile.

Right, cool. Let me see you in a set in. I'll just be like a little fly in the world. We'll see you flesh. Let me see the flesh in the real life. And then maybe from there I could be like, okay, cool. I can have the confidence and go ahead and be like start a conversation. Whereas going in the dark, I'm a bit like, whoa, because you could be anyone.

Like I could even be like, oh yeah, I'm 5'4.11, but I'm bleeding. I've had that before. I'm 5'11 and a guy said he was 6 foot. He was 5'8. Oh, God. It was the saddest day I've ever been on. Yeah. There's nothing wrong with that.

Don't lie, yeah. You know, what is the point in? No, I get it. I get it, I get it. But I think that must cause you more anxiety because like, then surely when you meet them, they're going to be like, you're not what you said you were online. I don't know. But, I mean, I think there's really good positives to like Tinder and dating apps

because for me, I'm in a very feminine job. Like the influencing and the modeling, I'm surrounded mostly by women. Yeah. So realistically, if I was to meet a guy like how would I? Like it's not like years ago

where you'd meet in a coffee shop or meet at a dance I mean I'd love to go back to then time meeting at a dance who may have this dance I'd be like I'd be like absolutely

let's bring that back yeah I would love that I mean that's a world that I live in but unfortunately that's not the case now so I mean I think there's massive massive positives but there's negatives with everything

and we just have to be aware really yeah so we put the topic of online dating safety to our listeners and we've got a couple of bits they would like advice for oh i love this so um i've been chatting to this guy on tinder for a month now and we haven't met up yet he sends voice notes oh and promises he wants to meet soon but says it's a bad time for him i think he's telling the truth but after so long it seems odd how can i be sure that he's legit this is quite a common people say this don't they i think action speaks louder than words and he's all words and it's like i haven't got time for that no and if you're really a priority in his life he would come and see you and he will make something happen just saying

okay no it's true i do feel like i hate when people drag things about if you're really serious about something you'll get it done so i feel like he should make the effort to go and meet her and get to know each other do you know what i mean i mean i don't know i feel like she shouldn't even be talking to him if if they plan to meet up and then he said oh it's bad timing okay fair enough let that one slide second time no I'm sorry you're wasting my time yeah I'd say a cutoff point for me is two weeks but for some of my friends like if it's like a week they're like oh no it's too much it's too long like we shouldn't be talking for a week like what I wouldn't mind two or three weeks of just chatting before we meet two or three weeks two or three weeks of

change I love a pen pal how are you what's your name what you do today what you're Like, repeat. Not like that. Like getting to know each other. Like, do you have any pets? Oh, come on. In the first three days, I should. You should know enough.

No, but it's like, it's like situational things. Like, oh, what have you been up to this Friday? I'm going to see friends. Oh, he's got a nice social life. Do you know, you just get a little context clues, I think, if you're talking for that amount of time. Yeah. And time is money.

I've got time to go on a date if it's not a vibe. Yeah. True. I don't know. Two weeks. Yeah. But if there's like, actually, if there's not like an end point that they seem like you say, really genuine or an intentional about seeing me for, no.

Yeah, I agree. I do think it depends on circumstance. So like if you're like working or you're away or whatever. Yeah. I get that and you're chatting still like maybe not constantly every day but like just to check in to make sure you're there. So then when the time comes when you're both like in the UK, for example, you can meet up or whatever. Yeah. But I think if you've made plans to see him and then he's then gone he's busy.

bye. I'm sorry but I'm cold. No, I rate that. I just think you're wasting time and in that amount of time I could be getting a proper connection elsewhere. You could be blocking me from seeing my husband. Exactly.

There we go. Thank you. That's Christy. You're welcome. Right. Next one we've got, please English be on my side. There's this guy I've been messaging online. He's super charming and funny,

but he gets annoyed if I don't reply within a few hours. Even though we've never met. He's already called He's already started calling me babe And saying we'll definitely be together soon Is that sweet or is it a bit too intense this early on? Red flag, big, frat, red flag, red flag

Screech up. Screenshot, the book! What do you mean if I don't reply within a few hours? Oh my God, that is possessive. Yeah. I always say let the text marinate a bit I hate replying back straight away. Do you know what I mean?

Let the seasoning coming through a bit You know, like, think about what I say. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, you don't want to act on impulse. But that's like in everything. Like if you're angry, you don't want to like say things you regret or like, you give it a minute. Let it marinate. Pause.

Yeah. Pause. We don't owe him anything. No, we don't. Not our replies. I don't like that. That's really all. And that's going to get worse.

Yeah. So quit while you're at him. He's already started calling me babe and saying we'll definitely, we'll definitely be together soon. Oh, I don't like that. No. I think for me is that he gets the way she said, he. gets annoyed if I don't reply. I don't think you should be annoyed that early on.

You're still getting to know the person. So in this scenario, if we're giving constructive advice rather than boy bye, how would you navigate this? Like, would you, would you, would you, report? Sorry, I really, I really don't want to interrupt you, but I'm sorry, you screenshot and your report. 100%. But like, if people were in the case of like, oh, I feel like I should say to him, I want to

cut this off, like, would you say, no, just. Screenshot report. I just don't think you don't need to say anything. You don't owe them anything. No. Like you've never met. Like you don't even know if they're real. They might be AI generated.

Let's just screenshot and report. Absolutely. And if you get that bad stomach feeling, gut feeling, that's almost like a teller, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. I really don't like that. I hope she's okay.

You do. I was talking to someone on a dating app and he suggested meeting up, but instead of a coffee or a pub, he wants me to come straight to his flat. I don't know if I'm over. reacting but it feels dodgy to go to a stranger's place for the first meet my friends are telling me to live a little am i right to be worried oh you bite on your order i'm like trying to

hold it in you know no babe i feel like the especially this is the first time in a public space where people can see you share your not share your locations with your friends and yeah safe safety first i don't go to your house no i just don't think it's gentleman like at all like a gentleman takes a lady out preach I'm sorry but I'm not coming around your house there's very strange there's just no effort there firstly and also I just feel that's a bit scary

because as soon as you step into someone's space like they're the one in control in that instant and when you don't know each other do you really want to give someone the full control I think it's a bit scary yeah I feel like the fact that she sent the message in it's basically her also thinking that she's not sure about it.

So the fact that you've had to ask for advice on that, that basically is telling her as well, I don't think you should do it. I do get her friends live a little, but that's not the type of living we want to be doing. No. Go to a pub. Go to a pub.

And live a little. There you go, Queen Vic if you want. Yeah. Don't go around to his house. No. But also, you're setting yourself up for like, I don't know, I think you start how you mean to go on. Is every day going to be just going on to his house?

Very true. That's a good one. I'm sorry, but no. I don't like that. I feel like she should believe that she's worth it. more than that. I love that. Laura for the people in the back. Now we're going to go into a segment where we've got some facts, stats and fiction from

Tinder. So let's get into it. So new research from Tinder reveals over a third of students and graduates say they trust new people quickly. What percentage of those people admitted to letting their guard down in their first year? What percent? Oh my God. I bet that's high. I'm going to go with 50. Yeah, because Jordan just say more than half of a third year. You did say 49. You said 49. You said 49. You've got the same stuff. 49 people get scammed as freshers. That is wild, isn't it? Yeah, that's a lot.

So, like, say for you and your best friend are going to freshers, wanting who's going to get scammed. Crazy. I can believe that. There were definitely like events and stuff, actually. I bought fake wristbands. But then again, because it's like freshers,

you want to make new friends as well, so you're like, yeah, oh my God, you're just happy, right? I'm saying 57. I'll say 60. I'm 50. 32%. Oh, okay. Okay, that's good.

That's not too bad. I've more faith in the freshers. Okay, so when it comes to dating, what percentage of 18 to 24 year olds admitted that they overlook red flags for the plot? Oh, right, girls, you've got to admit back in the day it is fun to have a bit of drama. Yeah, I remember.

We need a bit of toxic, right? Toxic, I used to love the toxicness. Is that terrible? That's what evil isn't that? I don't love it. No, I liked, like, the drama, like, terrible. Now, absolutely not. I'm horizontal.

Yeah. But I did like the plot. Really? A bit of bad boys. Yeah, I think that's high. I think it's going to be a high percentage. Yeah. For the plot, for the drum, for the, oh my God, did you hear about this?

Yeah. Because your girls would be like, what's the update? Yeah. It's true. It's true. You don't want to be the one that's like, oh yeah, we're fine. Like, you wanted to have a bit of substance. You may have more.

We had a completely different unique experiences. I was, I was eating donuts. I didn't go out. No, I need a bit of drama. Yeah, I get that. I had drama going on. Drama, drama. Okay, so we think quite high.

Yeah. Peep's looking for a plot, maybe 60% again. I also think at Fretcher's, you're not looking for your long time partner, are you? It is fun. Yeah. I'm going to say 78. I'm going to say 66. 23%.

Oh! We're been really bad. They're better than us. Yeah. This might be a new generate. I think this is Gen Z being really sensible. Oh no, this is true. You have to think Gen Z, yeah.

You know, this generation of being deemed generation sensible because they're not going out as much, they're not drinking as much. So it's actually a really positive thing that we're being more, we're, not me, there being more. I mean, wellness is such a thing. Yeah. Like, I think I was on TikTok the other day

and there's like 12 year old girls doing like full skincare routines. Yeah. I mean, it's wild. I didn't even know what a moisturiser was. No, just come back, baby wipe, go to bed. Keeps. Closerty.

Yeah. Isn't it well? How things have changed. So, I mean. Well, that's good. Yeah, really good. What was it? 23%?

Yeah. Big up to them. What percentage of 18 to 24 year olds admitted to overlooking red flags because they fancied them too much to care? So you've got to think when we were that age, if we fancied someone, would we have overlooked it the red flag?

Absolutely. Yeah. My brain wasn't fully formed until 25. I don't know. I got a bit strict. Did you? Yeah, red flag out. But that may because of my experience.

Well, that makes sense. My experience happened when I was about 20. Yeah. So after that I was. Oh no, I think it would be, I remember my, I stayed and it was a red flag. I was a very big red flag. I was like, but he's the love of my life. We'll do that.

You really fancied him then. Oh, I thought I was going to marry this boy. Oh, gosh. I think it's quite high. Because first love, everybody loves that kind of first love type of shenanigan, you know? It is. It's just you're clouded by a smoke of. Exactly.

actually nothing back in the day the irony of it at the moment you're thinking oh my God they are the love of my life and then you get post uni or something clarity and it's I think this was 50 yeah half yeah I'll go with that as well 50

come on 41 okay I'm still quite high yeah that is quite high I'm just quite close but maybe that's because of what I've been to but I'm quite cold yeah guys don't ignore the red flags

yeah A suit, run-word flag out And it's never going to get better Like, once something bad, it doesn't get better. Yeah. Go back to pause, yeah? Yeah, exactly. Thank you.

Pause, Tinder. Well, we have loved having you on today, Georgia. Oh, actually, one more thing. I'm going to ask this. So, every time we've had a special little celebrity guest onto the podcast, we've asked them what their rose, thorn and banana is. Okay.

Do you know what that is? Can you expand? Yes, okay. So basically a rose is like a peak of your career. Yeah. A thorn is like, we're calling it like a learning curve or something that made you think, oh, okay, but I've learned from that. Yeah.

And then a banana is something unexpected. So what would you say is your peak? When I did a catwalk for an amazing brand called Funky Monot based in the Netherlands, I love doing my modelling and my shoots and everything. So yeah, that was like a real peak because I'm only five foot three. never thought I'd do a catwalk so that was incredible that's amazing yeah it was amazing experience um my thing I've learned from was definitely my situation with being scammed I think I learned a lot from that but spinning it on a positive I think it happened to me so I can kind of spread awareness about

it and use my platform to help other people yeah um and what was the last one the banana last one was something unexpected okay um hmm I mean I got a cat food deal the other day with my cat, which is really random. That is sick, though. Yeah. So I'm like obsessed with my cat, Oscar. Love. And I've just got another kitten.

And what's their name? He's called Phil. Oh, I love that. Oh my God, I'm obsessed with him. Amazing. He's just amazing. But yeah, I got a deal with cat food, which I thought was the most random deal I've ever had,

but I've really enjoyed it. And that was like incredible deal. Like, insane. Oscar had his little. little filming sin. Yeah, he was on camera, everything. So that was a banana time. That is probably the best answer we've ever had for.

Yeah. Oh, I'm glad. And that just came off the spot. That's good. Incredible. Well, I'm also cat lady, so I rate that. And I'll be checking out whatever you're selling. It's really good cat food, to be honest. Love that.

Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Thank you.
