‘And I think if anyone ever wants to downplay the emotional impact it has on someone, when you become aware, for example, that video is live, then try taking that kind of phone call and hearing that.
‘You were completely and utterly distressed. It was horrific. I’ll remember that forever. It was absolutely awful.’

She said: ‘I mean, look, for me, I always just want the best outcomes for all souls in all situations. Like if he could learn the error of his ways and hopefully rehabilitate himself, then hats off to him.
‘And I hope that is what he manages to do. It’s just whether or not he’ll do that. I think mum’s more apprehensive than me. I mean, I’ve got a restraining order.’
Meanwhile her mum explained: ‘Yeah, I just feel like he never took, he never acknowledged what he done was wrong.
‘Even on the day of sentencing, he was still thinking he’s done nothing wrong. I feel like he needs to acknowledge what he’s done is wrong and hopefully change.

The pair were joined by panellists Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha, Jane Moore as the star prepares to launch her debut book ‘Taking Back My Power’.
Describing her emotions at that point in time, Georgia, who received the Activist award at the Glamour of the Year Awards last week, told the panel: ‘Just like really, really scattered and I just felt so violated, so let down. I felt like, less worthy as a human being after that happening.
‘I just felt like, not only had he really taken advantage of me, but I also felt like the online platforms were also taking advantage of me.
‘Like they were monetising off of it and my name. When you put in a search engine, it immediately said ‘Georgia Harrison sex tape’ and it was leading all these people to porn channels… and there was nothing I could do about it.’
Opening up on their efforts to take the video down themselves, Georgia said: ‘We didn’t know how big it was yet… It was literally everywhere.’
The star also discussed her decision to go to the police and the positive experience she had.
‘The police took it seriously from the get-go but I know not all victims have the same experience in terms of the police but they didn’t judge me at all.
‘I think for a lot of women they might have an initial discussion and then sometimes they feel like they’re getting blamed and they don’t follow it up with the police because of that. But luckily, my experience was brilliant with the police.’
