Georgia Harrison has revealed she vowed she would 'never quit' Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins as she declared that being crowned champion was 'the proudest she's ever felt of herself.'

The former Love Island star, 29, completed the gruelling course in a nail-biting finale that hit screens last week, overcoming an intense final showdown that included being caged and doused in ice water.

Speaking to MailOnline at Monday's Pride Of Britain Awards, Georgia shared that she originally vowed she'd never pull out of the course, and believed the only reasons she'd leave the show were either due to injury, or from 'biting back' at the instructors.

Reflecting on her win, Georgia said: 'Honestly is just feels amazing, obviously I've known for like a year and a half that I've won it, but watching it back, it was like a really really amazing moment, for my friends, my family and to be honest it's the most proud I've ever felt of myself, it was a good time in my life.

'I knew I would do everything I could to the best of my ability, I knew I wouldn't quit but I thought potentially I'd just bite back and get thrown off, or I would get injured but I knew that wouldn't quit so that's all that really mattered for me.'

Asked what she learned from the experience, Georgia added: 'I think I just learned how mentally strong I am, I know I basically give things a good go, I know how mentally strong I am. 

'I learned how meditation gave me the tools I needed to succeed in that role. I just think I'd appreciated it more than I've ever had before because it's stronger than anything that you can imagine, in my opinion.'

Georgia also reflected on her stint on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year, which saw her briefly go onto date Anton Danyluk.

Asked whether she'd ever return to the famous villa, she said: 'It was really fun, Love Island is always fun for anyone who gets involved in it,' before adding she'd 'definitely consider returning to the show.'

Following her reality TV stints this year, Georgia shared that she's now focusing on investigative documentaries, and has two in the works on the impacts of deep-fakes, and the porn industry.

She added: 'I've been here there and everywhere but it's been amazing. I want to do stuff to empower females and also to change legislation within the UK. I have to step up to that role.' 

Georgia also put on a show-stopping display in a dramatic yellow sheer gown as she posed for snaps on the red carpet.

The star's look boasted a voluminous bottom and a fitted top to highlight her incredible figure.

The annual Pride Of Britain Awards returned for its 25th year, with Ashley Banjo and Carol Vorderman back as co-hosts. The ceremony will be broadcast on ITV on Thursday.

Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks were on hand to host the red carpet, while GK Barry presented online content at her very own bar during the event. 

Taking place since 1999, the ceremony honours the achievements of truly remarkable people from across the UK and all walks of life - nominated by members of the public.

After a shortlist has been produced from the thousands of entries, winners are chosen by the Pride of Britain judging panel.

Ahead of the ceremony, The King and the Prime Minister Keir Starmer led tributes to the nation's unsung heroes.

The King called them 'the very best' of us, while Sir Keir said, 'They embody everything that is great about Britain'.

King Charles' words were included in a letter to King's Trust Young Achiever winner Molly Leonard, whose grandmother shed tears of pride as she read it to her.

In addition to praising Molly, he wrote: 'On this 25th anniversary of the Pride of Britain Awards, I send my warmest admiration to all of this year's winners. You each represent the very best in our society.'

The Prime Minister told winners: 'Britain is proud of you. For a quarter of a century, the Pride of Britain awards have celebrated the people who embody everything that is great about Britain. 

'These are people from all walks of life, but they all have one thing in common. They're heroes.

'They may not be the cape-wearing superheroes we normally think of – in fact, they look just like the rest of us. But they do have something that makes them very special indeed. Bravery, determination, generosity, empathy and huge spirit.

'They have the power to touch our hearts, to make us hopeful, to make us proud. They're a testament to the incredible things people can achieve even in the face of hardship.'
