Georgia Harrison halts filming of new ITV documentary in emotional moment
Georgia Harrison pauses filming of her latest ITV2 documentary in an emotional moment as she admits "I am scared".
The Love Island star returns to television screens this week with a two-part series exploring the lucrative world of the online porn business following on from her previous documentary, Revenge Porn: Georgia vs Bear.
Her decision to create this documentary stems from her own traumatic experience as a victim of image-based sexual abuse. An ex-boyfriend of hers secretly recorded an intimate moment without her consent and later sold the footage online.

With the global porn industry worth an estimated $1 billion globally, Georgia takes a deep dive into how this hugely profitable industry works and seeks to uncover just how far her own illegal video has spread, and who might be profiting from it.
The incident, which went viral due to both of them being in the public eye, led to a landmark court case in the UK. She was determined to seek justice, so Georgia took her ex-partner to court and won, marking one of the UK’s most high-profile cases of image-based sexual abuse.
Her legal victory played a crucial role in influencing legislative changes and strengthening protections against these types of crimes. Georgia is now an advocate for women’s rights and uses her platform to raise awareness and push for change.
In one scene set to air tonight (February 18), Georgia says: "Since the video went viral I contacted every major porn site to get it taken down but it's a game of whack-a-mole.
"It really does scare me knowing that I'm potentially going to have to discover this again and watch it back, that moment changed me forever. Having to re-live that and re-watch that, I am scared."
Georgia then searching for the sex tape online and makes a discovery. She adds: "That's embarrassing to be honest. These men are sitting at home watching this.."
After a moment of reflection, she turns to the camera and says: "I don't know if we should stop for a second" before getting up and walking away from the laptop to get some fresh air.
Georgia continues: "I think I just forgot how bad it is. It was a complete and utter violation of me as a person, as a human being, as a woman. This man is literally on the sex offenders register but it's still there. How am I ever going to get that off?"
Georgia Harrison: Porn, Power and Profit airs Tuesday, February 18 and Wednesday, February 19 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
