Georgia Harrison has revealed her 'struggle' at discovering just how 'widespread' her leaked sex tape with now convicted sex offender Stephen Bear is.
The Love Island star, 30, discusses the video in her new ITV documentary Georgia Harrison: Porn, Power, Profit which takes a look at the revenge porn industry and also investigates the ever-expanding Deep Fake porn world.
Stephen, a former Celebrity Big Brother winner, served half of a 21-month prison sentence and was then ordered to pay the £22,305 that prosecutors estimated that he earned from illegally sharing the footage on OnlyFans.
Now Georgia has taken on the difficult task of tracking down the places where the leaked video still exists as part of her upcoming programme.
She described the experience, saying: 'What we really wanted to do was get to the bottom of who is behind the posting of image-based sexual abuse that's still out there.
'The first part involves me having to really look into where my video still is which is obviously a really tough thing to do, but by doing that we could then decipher how many different sites it was on.

'Then this gave us a way of following the video, figuring out who is actually behind the money and who is advertising next to this image-based sexual abuse.'
She added: 'I would say obviously the hardest part for me was having to see how widespread my video still is.
'I have a lot of people messaging me all the time, sending me clips of it, it's always something in the back of my mind, but having to really face head-on exactly where it is and how many places it's in was a real struggle for me.
'To overcome that, I always remind myself that sometimes when you have a problem, the only way you can face it is head-on.
'The only way for it to be impossible for not only my video but any victim of image-based sexual abuse's video not to be online in the future is for there to be more awareness and for the government and higher-up companies within the internet to get together and face it head-on.
'For me, I know it wasn't the easiest thing to do, it was the best thing I can do for my future and other women's future.'
During the filming of the documentary, Georgia spoke to porn site creators, a Pornhub representative and private investigators to delve into both branches of the industry.
The TV personality also explained how she recovered from her ordeal.

'I overcame that by having such a strong family, such an amazing partner and amazing friends,' she said.
'They are just so supportive in every way of everything that I do and they just make it so much easier for me to really look at things from an outward perspective and to really let go of a lot of shame which naturally does arise for victims throughout the rest of their lives.'
Georgia, who waived her right to anonymity as she campaigned for stricter laws around revenge porn, told the Proceeds of Crime hearing at the time: 'I had to live in fear that this was going to come out and my family were going to know about it.
'It was just like the worst feeling you can ever possibly imagine. I felt violated, I felt embarrassed - I hated myself for a really long time.'
Stephen, from Loughton, Essex, was sentenced to 21 months in March 2023 after a jury found him guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) previously told how Stephen has shown 'a complete lack of remorse'.
Ahead of his sentencing, he posed for selfies outside court and sang Lady In Red to a reporter wearing a red coat. He also arrived for hearings, supported by his father, in lavish outfits and a Rolls Royce.
As he was jailed, he waved from the dock and said: 'Have a good evening. Enjoy the weekend everyone.'

In March last year, he was ordered to pay £22,305 to retrieve the money he made by sharing the sex tape on OnlyFans. He was also ordered to pay £5,000 in compensation to Georgia.
Chelmsford Crown Court confirmed the £22,305 was paid in full on May 8 last year.
It comes after Georgia said she was awarded £207,900 damages following a High Court case but that Stephen had paid 'not one penny' of it.
The Big Brother winner sold his home in Loughton while he was in prison to pay his legal bills.
