Georgia Harrison, who graced the Love Island villa in 2017, is beaming with joy as she dives back into the dating scene, declaring herself the "happiest" she's ever been.
"I've been dating for a long time. I'm coming up to 30 and I'm in a new relationship, but I've got a lot of experience with dating, and I think it's something that you actually get better with over time and you get more and more confident with it," Georgia recently revealed.
She continued, emphasizing the personal contentment found in her current relationship: "I think I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. I'm in a relationship at the moment and I'm really confident in it." Yet this Love Island alumnus doesn't shy away from imparting wisdom gleaned from her dating endeavours. Among the most pivotal lessons she's learned, Georgia advises embracing one's genuine self, a stance that may not always please everyone but leads to true self-empowerment.
"The number one most important thing is just be authentically yourself. This is why I love Tinder so much, they're really trying to empower women to understand how to step into your authenticity and how to have the confidence to get there. When you do that, you're the most attractive version of you," she reflected, reports OK!.

You might think, 'this person isn't really for me' or they might think, 'she isn't really for me'. You have to remember that there are so many people in the world and take it with a pinch of salt."
With Tinder working with NO MORE to encourage open communication among young people when dating, Georgia is keen to use her platform to help people across the world and it's safe to say that she has become a figure that young women look up to, whether that's for dating advice or beyond - though it's not something she could ever have dreamed of.
"I could not have imagined I would end up in the situation that I'm in now. When I go back to walking into TOWIE in a bodycon dress, so ropey, not even with a bra on for my microphone because I didn't know that was a thing, to now I'm nearly 30 years old and I'm regularly invited into Downing Street," she admits.
"It's not a situation that I planned and I do feel like what I'm doing now is a very big role that I have to take a lot of responsibility in because it has given me so many female followers and a lot of it's about empowerment. I couldn't be more grateful, but I definitely wouldn't have seen myself in this position ten years ago."
