Georgia Steel slams rumours she cheated on Sam Bird amid split: 'This is laughable'

Georgia Steel has been forced to hit back at speculation that she split with Love Island boyfriend Sam Bird due to cheating allegations.

The reality star couple, who have been inseparable since meeting in the villa, put on a united front at the ITV Palooza on Monday night but a “devastated” Bird announced the sad news they had split just hours later.

Since the news surfaced, 21-year-old Steel has been forced to respond to reports accusing her of not being a ‘loyal babe’ and having a fling with her manager Steven West.

Blasting reports, she told fans: “The story of myself being linked with Steven West. This is laughable.

"He is my tour manager who drives me to all my PAs. Nothing more.”

Steel’s response came after ex-beau Bird hinted that Steel had been unfaithful to him.

Posting a short statement on Twitter, Bird wrote: “I’m devastated to announce me and Georgia have split up for reasons I can’t bring myself to comment on at the moment.

“As always I wish her all the best,” he added with a sad face emoji as fans and friends rushed to support him.

Steel, who earned a reputation on the show for her “loyal” catchphrase, also posted a statement on her social media and asked for fans to “understand” they are going through a hard time.

Writing on her Instagram story on Tuesday, she said: “I'm very sad to say me and Sam have split.

“I will always care about him. However please understand this is a hard time for us both. Thank you.”
