Come across some abuse of Georgia on Facebook saying her and giovanni are a fake couple. Seems like she gets a lot of hate now, it may have something to do with her ex, but that's not an excuse for people on social media to be as vile as they are. To me it's a load of trolls who haven't got anything better to do with their time and probably aren't the slightest bit interested in the show or are mega obsessed with Jay and Peter.

Please don't bring Jay or Peter's fans into this.

The reason she gets so much stick is because she made a big song and dance about how offensive the rumours about her Giovanni were when she had a boyfriend, went on and on about how they were more like a brother and sister and then the minute the series finishes dumps the boyfriend and shacks up with Gio.

I don't think it's fake, but I do think its one of convenience (for her) and will last as long as media interest in them as a couple does. Come the autumn when rumours about a new celebrity and the professional start swirling about most probably.

I really wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure that it's absolutely nothing new and doesn't bother her in the slightest.

Agreed, and I wouldn't blame it on any particular sets of fans either.

I absolutely agree - Jay fans are always very kind to and about Georgia !
... and are too busy following and appreciating Jay and Aliona to bother with leaving nasty messages on Twitter or elsewhere !

I have never come across Peter's fans but I am sure they don't hold a grudge against other Strictly celeb contestants either.

Tall Paul I find your post a bit odd because really the abuse that GG got on Social Media has completely died down now - and it was never overwhelming.

As is the nature of the beast Georgia got all the flack and Gio very little.
Initially and still occasionally fans of Sean Ward were very vocal in their displeasure but as he and Georgia had only been going out for seven months, were not engaged, not married and no children were involved it was none of their business.
There were and still are nasty remarks under stories in the Daily Fail (as there are under any story about anyone) and sadly from a few of the usual suspects in this forum ( these are for the most part fanatical Helen and Anita fans that still cannot accept the fact their celebs didn't make the final and seem to get pleasure by insulting Georgia as she did )

It used to drive people wild that during the tour the paparazzi photographed GG practically every day - not surprising as they were a hot hews item and being in the Strictly hotels they knew where to find them - some small minded and rather naive people thought that GG were walking together to the Arenas on purpose to be photographed - although if you look at sequences of these you can see that Georgia is very unhappy when she realises she is being papped - she disliked it so much she walked backwards to get away from one photographer so he couldn't snap her and she walked into the tour bus and had to be taken to hospital.
However when Gio was with her he seemed to keep her calm.
They were accused of seeking publicity and yet I wonder if these critics have noticed that since the tour ended GG have managed to avoid being papped unless they are attending some event.

Some people also accused them of not being in a proper relationship as you say - I assume they have now concluded that people who spend 24/7 together except for a few days here and there when they are working apart - who have visited each others parents and seem to be heavily committed are in a perfectly normal relationship.
Although one forum member seems to think people can only be in a loving relationship if you are never seen together and never mention your other half - which is frankly bizarre.

The internet trolls neatly divide into two - one half predict Georgia will run off any minute with a new man as she has form ( 3 boyfriends in her 25 years is after all very promiscuous - not )
The other half predict Giovanni will run off with his next dance partner - he has only ever appeared to have 'run off' with one dance partner before and that was Georgia so time will tell !
One lady on this forum posted that she would give the relationship six months - they seem to be coming up for their six month anniversary so if she is right they will be breaking up in the next week or so - it seems very, very unlikely !
We will never know on what scientific evidence she based this opinion - but perhaps it was just spite after all !

Trolls are ever with us on Social Media - what a sad, unfulfilled and mean spirited bunch they must be to get pleasure out of being hurtful to people they don't know and have done them no harm.

Personally, I think fans of other celebrities have better things to do than slag off Georgia
In fact, I take great offence that you accuse the fans of two named celebrities based on no evidence whatsoever.

As a fan of one of those named, I can honestly say whatever Georgia gets up to or is reported in the papers or wherever, is of no interest to me nor any of my fellow fans whatsoever and I certainly wouldn't waste time commenting on it (until now of course )

Of course, the OP could just be posting deliberately inflammatory statements from under their rickety bridge, in which case DS Mods will deal with this appropriately

A not very kind and exaggerated summing up - she gave one interview saying the rumours were offensive - and she once said they were like brother and sister when describing their relationship - so a 'big song and dance' and she 'went on and on' would seem to be coming on a bit strong !

How exactly is this relationship a convenience for Georgia ?
... and why do you think it will last as long as the media interest does ?
Very insightful - I think you are confusing them with people from Geordie Shore or Towie !

Not all fans obviously - just a few unfortunately of which you are certainly not one

Sandy, I saw the title of this thread & arrived expectng to write one of my usual long impassioned posts in defence of Georgia but in actual fact you have said absolutely everything in this post that needs to be said!! Just brilliant, thank you!!


Oh and Vodka drinka, as I recall it was you who started the whole 'GG relationship is nothing but a publicity stunt' thread so I am guessing that 'I don't think it's a fake' is probably the nearest we're going to get from you to a retraction of that thread title!!
With this in mind & the fact that, even though the tour finidhed almost four months ago anf there is absolutely no positive publicity or commercial gain to be taken from it in any way, the GG relationship is very clearly stronger than ever, please forgive me if I don't set a massive amount of store by your opinion on the subject!! I prefer to use the evidence of my own eyes whch tell me that here are two young people who couldn't be any more in love & couldn't be a better match for each other!!

Attention seeking were the words I used, not fake And I stand by that, they were massively attention seeking at the time.

Of all the Strictly celebrity/pro relationships the only ones still together are Flavia and Jimmy. Most of them just fizzle out once they realise they don't actually have very much in common.

I think Pasha and Rachel are still together.

They are, that must be quite a while now. As are Kristina and Ben, in fact their baby must be imminent!

Indeed the only really short term relationship was Ali and Brian all the others lasted a fair period.

Whose to say how long the GG one will last

Pretty much sums it up for me. The fact that she banged on about her ex being her rock was one thing but the implicit hinting that he was an abuser when he became an inconvenience was really deeply unpleasant. None of that excuses the vile trolls and their abuse of course but she is a tough cookie and probably knows it comes with the territory.

Not much worse then actual abuse of course mental or physical its the same and nobody really knows how that relationship ended expect that it ended badly.

Will be so glad when we have some confirmed celebs for this year. Something new to get self righteous over and squabble about - although these threads always go the same way, whoever they are nominally about.

New pros would do.

Ha, ha, yes indeed!!!!

Hopefully there'll be a pro line up soon to keep folks going.

Totally agree! I shouldn't think this one will last long in any case.

Yep suits me, the same old argumemts based on nothing more than people's opinions with no facts involved, going round in endless circles do get somewhat tedious!!

Oh, the arguements will be the same but the name changes a diversion, at least.

exactly

Great post, Sandy - clipped only for space purposes. Agreed with all you said.

BIB. I have never seen a written, or heard, an interview given by Georgia in which she 'hinted' that he (her ex) was an abuser. By all accounts there were witnesses on the night of the 'alleged' attack namely Katie Derham and her husband. Please correct me if I am wrong but has there ever been a denial from Katie and her husband that they were involved that night or, even more telling, has there ever been a denial from her ex.
If the allegations were untrue I think her ex should sack his PR people for not killing the story dead as soon as it appeared, after all this would be classed as slander/liable of the worst kind, but nothing from either. Nothing excuses vile trolls.


Sandy. Agreed with everything you so eloquently said. 😉
