Love Island All Stars’ Georgia Harrison reveals the shock deal-breaker she has when it comes to finding a man as she sparks up flirty chat with Chris Taylor
Love Island All Stars contestant Georgia Harrison has revealed the one deal-breaker she has when it comes to finding romance with a man.
The reality star, 29, originally took part in series three of Love Island in 2017 but is looking for love once again in the All Stars version of the show.
In Monday’s launch episode of the programme, she will be seen having a flirty chat with Chris Taylor, 33, and revealing the one important thing she looks for in a man – fame.
While Georgia insists she does not need a partner who is well known, she admits she wants someone who will be comfortable attending glitzy events with her such as star-studded premieres.
And, with Chris having already appeared on Love Island series five in 2019 and popping up in last year’s hit Barbie movie, he certainly has Georgia’s required credentials with his experience in the spotlight.

According to The Sun, Georgia tells Chris: ‘I don’t need to be with someone who is necessarily famous but they have to be willing to be connected to me because I’d love to have someone I can go on the red carpets with.’
He replies: ‘Would you not prefer to have a boyfriend who is not in that at all?’
Georgia continues: ‘Well, no because I’ve done that and it wasn’t good.’
Chris adds: ‘They terrify me (red carpets). I get weird.’
Georgia jokingly claps back: ‘Oh, shut up. You love it. We saw you at the Barbie premiere.’
On Monday, for the first time singletons from previous seasons will return to the villa as they continue their quest to find their dream partner.
Host Maya Jama is returning to present the show in South Africa, while the social media ban is also being lifted.
Last year, ITV bosses banned the stars’ loved ones from handling their accounts to ‘to shield them from the adverse effects of social media’.

However, Maya revealed on This Morning earlier this month, that the rule has been changed this season, meaning the contestants’ friends and families can post on their behalf.
Another change coming this winter is that there will be no Aftersun spin-off show, with a new interview segment instead.
Maya will now speak to the contestants immediately after they are dumped in a brand new set next to the villa, in order to capture their ‘raw emotion’ in the moment.
Speaking about the change, Maya said: ‘With this new exit interview format, I feel like you’ll get the raw emotion. I’m really excited about that actually.
‘I’ll be there as soon as they get out there will be no time for them to think about it we just go straight into the questions. I’m not a tough presenter. But I’ll ask the questions that people want to know.’
In a bid to make the show even more exciting and unique, producers have teased even more twists and shock moments.
The biggest surprise shake-up is that Casa Amor has been axed for the first time in seven years.
The second villa has been a highlight of the recent series of the show, seeing the boys and girls separated into two villas with a new group of bombshells to tempt them away from each other.

The All Stars series has been reduced to five weeks long, instead of the usual eight, meaning the Casa Amor twist has been dropped as there’s not enough time.
Executive producer Mike Spencer told The Mirror: ‘Casa Amor, as we know and love it, doesn’t really work for a five week run because you need time to bed in, get to know each other, see if they are for you and if you want to switch it up.
‘I think you don’t need the element of bringing a massive influx of new islanders in. That is good for an eight week run but you don’t need it for this. This is going to be more intense and people will fall for each other quicker.’
He also revealed that this series will have lots of other twists instead, to ensure the Love Island veterans don’t know what’s coming.
He said: ‘We have got to be reactive. These islanders have done it all before so we have to be one step ahead of them. This give us the chance to shake it up and bring new islanders into the mix in new ways.’
Mike then teased: ‘We have four hidden single beds in the lounge, so make of that what you will.’
There will also be changes made to the biggest episodes – the launch night and the grand final – with no reunion show either.
Mike said: ‘It’s fair to say episode one has some really fresh format. It’s different. We know the background of what each person has been going in since their series so we thought about that when we were putting this together.
‘We’re not going to do the challenge stage either that will be rested this season – but the ‘in villa’ tasks will continue.
‘This is a great time to test things and test the format. The show has been on for ten series we’ve tried to evolve it, especially the last couple of series.
‘Shock twists worked for the audience last series and we’re looking what else we can do. The final we are also going to tweak. We won’t have a reunion show. So the final will answer the questions from fans and retell the stories of the series.’
The show legends returning this year so far are confirmed to be Liberty Poole, Georgia Harrison, Chris Taylor, Hannah Elizabeth, Kaz Kamwi, Georgia Steel, Anton Danyluk, Demi Jones, Luis Morrison, Toby Aromolaran, Mitchel Taylor and Jake Cornish.
The first series of Love Island All Stars kicks off on Monday evening at 9pm on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX.
LOVE ISLAND ALL STARS: MEET THE CAST
Liberty Poole
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m a lot more confident in who I am and sure about exactly what I want from a relationship. I just want to have fun and meet a lovely boy.
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? It’s always going to be awkward isn’t it, it’s always going to be weird seeing someone that you’ve been with getting with someone else. I wish my exes nothing but the best. I’m going to be focused on my own journey.
Kaz Kamwi
AGE: 29
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? To be totally honest, I actually really want to find love.
I had a great time last series but I want to have an even better time.
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve previously dated from the show? The thing is, I’m a bad b*tch so I will handle it with as much grace as I can.
Georgia Harrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!
Demi Jones
AGE: 25
SERIES: 6
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I lost a lot of confidence with my health issues over the last couple of years but I’ve been smashing the gym this year, finding my confidence again and I’ve got it back. So, let’s find a man!
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since? It will be interesting to see if old flames get reignited. Naturally with Love Island paths are very much crossed and believe me, I have some paths!
Hannah Elizabeth
AGE: 33
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I’d get again. I’m not very good at finding love but I had a ball the first time, so I’m going to have a ball again.
You got engaged on the show last time, do you think wedding bells could be on the cards again this time round? Absolutely not, not in the Villa no. Maybe when I get out, but I’d need to give it a bit of time.
Georgia Steel
AGE: 25
SERIES: 4
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.
Jake Cornish
AGE: 26
SERIES: 7
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? Well there is only one and that’s Liberty. We never ended with any bad blood between us and everything happens for a reason. We just become two different people in the end.
What will you do differently this time round? When it comes to people’s opinions, I don’t sit on the fence anymore. That is my way of life now, so I will take that into the Villa.
Toby Aromolaran
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? If I’m Single and Love Island is an opportunity for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?!
You were in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa? I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.
Chris Taylor
AGE: 33
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit – I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me!
How did the Barbie Movie come about? I was invited to an afterparty by Margot Robbie and then ended up at an after party with her. I started to panic and make conversation with her, just having really stupid chats. All I can assume is that my silly chat made an impression on Margot Robbie. 18 months later I got an email from Warner Brothers asking do you want to try out for this role as Ken – it was a tumble dryer of emotions.
Luis Morrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the famous Love Island Villa? It was the best experience of my life. I found love in the Villa before and who knows if I can find love in there again?
What will you do differently this time round?
I’m a lot older and wiser, so I know what I am getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan at all – I am an open book so I will go with the flow and see what happens.
Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.
Mitchel Taylor
AGE: 27
SERIES: 10
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I think I went in with my heart on my sleeve the first time and got hurt and this time I am just going in to enjoy myself and if a connection happens, a connection happens.
In the summer you were given the name ‘Messy Mitch’, and a name that you have taken on as your own, can we expect more of the same in the series? I’ll be honest, I don’t really plan on being ‘Messy Mitch’. It just depends on what day of the week it is. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and what you see is what you get. I am very honest and very opinionated and I think that’s what people like me for. If I don’t agree with something, I’m not going to hold it back.
