Georgia admitted she was previously ‘scared’ for the shows brutal boxing match challenge and to prepare she fought a man in her local gym.
Sharing a video of herself in the ring, Georgia showed off her impressive boxing skills as she threw punches against her male opponent before also receiving some.
She wrote: ‘I turned up to the gym and @target_fitness (who is ex military and not normal whatsoever in the best way possible) had recruited a man to fight me because he knew how scared I was of that happening on the course. I had GMB in the morning and was not at all up for it’.
Georgia shared photos during her outdoor training sessions where she army crawling through duck poo, box jumped, swam fully clothed in the Norfolk sea and ran with her giant pack on her back.
The reality star was also taught how to ‘monkey bar’ and revealed her blistered hands after doing so.
Leading up to the gruelling series, Georgia’s trainer surprised her by ‘plonking her straight into rapids’ to build up her swimming strength.
She continued: ‘Training with Gee at @no1fitnessretreats G and a lot of the trainers have military backgrounds which meant not just in the weeks leading up to the course but actually over the years of going there I really adapted the mindset and understanding I needed as well as my physical strength during my time here.
‘@target_fitness told me to meet him at the rapids then told me I wouldn’t be getting a kayak and plonked me straight in to get my swimming strength/ability up.’

Experts gushed the pair had ‘outshone the men’ as they were the last two standing following gruelling weeks of SAS winter warfare training.
Georgia told The Mirror: ‘[The experience] made me a lot stronger and it was almost like an actual turning point in my life to really overcome all the trauma and challenge I’ve been through the year before’.

‘I’m like “Right this is my time to come back fighting, come back stringer and move into a whole new era of my life”‘.
She went on: ‘I’ve definitely felt a shift in my energy, my vibration, my ability to handle things’.
On August 2, 2020, Georgia and Bear, 34, had sex in his garden, he secretly filmed on his home CCTV. He went on to leak the footage online and make money from selling the clip.
After Georgia reported her ex to the police she took embarked on the emotional court case which resulted in Stephen being imprisoned for 10 and a half months.
He was found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photos and films.
Georgia and Lani were joined in the final four by Bianca Gascoigne and fellow boxer Anthony Ogogo, who sadly fell at the last hurdle and failed to pass the course, with the model quitting just 10-minutes before the end of the interrogation.
The final challenge left Georgia ‘hallucinating’ after she was locked in a dog cage and doused in ice cold water.
Following the win, fans rushed to X writing: ‘Lani Daniels and Georgia Harrison, two kick- ass women! Well done to the both of them! Absolutely brilliant’: ‘Brilliant, fair play to both Georgia and Lani, incredible effort’: ‘Girl power, well done!’.
After her win Georgia told the experts : ‘I can’t believe it was me and you. Thank you, that was brutal, you lot are sick.’
While Lani admitted: ‘I think my downfall is that I’ve never really believed in myself. This was my time to shine and there’s nothing that is going to stop me.’
Before trainer Jason Fox beamed: ‘I think this has taught me that women are f****** tough. They’re resilient and they’ve outshone the men.’

The final saw the final four tasked with memorising a cover story and hide a fictional mission from a specialist interrogations team, while enduring questioning and punishment.
Ahead of the final Georgia opened up about the final challenge and branded it the ‘hardest day of her life’.
Telling The Sun: ‘I really did think that the interrogation was going to be easy, because I would watch it on TV and think, ‘If that was me, I wouldn’t be shaking on the floor’, but I really underestimated it.
‘I was thinking that I could meditate through it, but it’s just so, so tough. You get disorientated so much that you don’t know how long it’s been, who you’re with or if it’s even real any more.
‘You lose all understanding of your surroundings. I was definitely hallucinating. It’s awful, excruciatingly hard, degrading, demoralising and one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life.’
