She caused division on the ITV show after becoming embroiled in a love affair with Toby, Callum Jones, 27, and Tom, 24, and admitted she has feelings for them all.
Her attempts to woo former flame Tom caused the biggest stir, after she discussed how she liked the footballer despite his pairing with Molly Smith.
Regarding the negative reactions, she said: ‘I don’t see the boys receiving the same hate that I do. It’s actually mainly women who make fun of me and I didn’t expect that. It’s all very confusing and difficult for me to figure out.’
Georgia also spoke about her fear of leaving home due to the hate she received and the fear that she could be abused on the streets.

Speaking about her worries, the troubled star said: ‘I feel anxious when I leave the house. I always think: will someone say something to me?’
“I am determined to still live my life and I know that I signed up to be in the public eye. I know that I am controversial and that I will never please everyone, but I did not expect this to be so intense would be ‘.
Earlier this week a source told MailOnline: ‘Georgia felt like she needed an extensive social detox. She was actually quite shocked when she heard about the trolling she received while she was in the villa and wants to stay offline for a while.
“It was truly a horrible experience for her friends and family to see such nasty comments and hate on her feed.
‘She is very happy and in such a good place with Toby. She also knows she has had a lot of support online and is grateful.”
A Georgia spokeswoman said: ‘Georgia is enjoying a short break from social media and will be back very soon.’
