She has also appeared in several other reality TV shows, but she is now calling it quits on everything.

Here is why Georgia Steel is quitting reality TV and what she said finally pushed her over the edge.

Georgia Steel Quitting Reality TV After Most Recent Love Island Appearance

Georgia Steel became one of the most famous reality TV stars from the Love Island franchise. She has appeared in three different iterations of the show, as she kept looking for love.

Ten years ago, Brendan Sheerin started filming a low-budget little reality series for Channel 4, where he guided a hotch-potch gang of British tourists around Europe on a coach. One decade and ten series later, Brendan is back and there are three more series in the pipeline.

The cult daytime reality show is just as popular as ever with its loyal legion of fans, and we caught up with the brilliant Brendan to find out his favourite moments from the first ten series.

Coach Trip is back for series 10: Meet the first 7 couples

1. Pasquale and Bob in Series One

"I can't believe we've been doing this for ten series and ten years. I do remember the people from series one. There was Pasquale and his boyfriend Bob. There was Barbara and Peter. There were quite a few characters. But on series one, it was all new and we didn't...

ITV's Splash!, the celebrity diving show that recovered from ridicule and a few flop performances early on to become the sleeper hit of 2013, is back!

Tonight five stars, including Towie's Gemma Collins and Hollyoaks favourite Gemma Merna, will cast aside their dressing gowns, prance over to the diving board in their skimpy swimsuits and attempt to pull out something better than a belly flop, all in a bid to impress mentor Tom Daley and us viewers.

Join Digital Spy from 7.20pm as hosts Gabby Logan and Vernon Kay present a shamelessly cheesy 90 minutes of gawking at celebrities' bodies before forcing them to fall from a great height. Go on, don't act like you won't be giving it a whirl...

20:50Thanks for joining us for the Splash! premiere live blog everyone. In what is surely the best bit of TV scheduling ever, the new series of Take Me Out is next up,...

Fancy watching some poor punter getting a back, sack and crack from Rustie Lee? Want a waxing from Helen Flanagan? Is Arg from Towie delivering pedicures what you've been waiting for all these years? Well, wait no more people. Celebrity Super Spa has arrived.

I've already had the joy of watching episode one of Super Spa. I've seen the awkward and cringeworthy hosts. I've seen Helen Flanagan prancing around without any trousers on. I've seen Rustie Lee cackling. 867 times.

And I'll probably watch it all over again tonight (September 13) when it airs on Channel 5. Firstly, because I'm a glutton for terrible television. Secondly, because I'm fairly convinced it may be the most desperate celebrity reality show ever concieved. Even by Channel 5's late night standards, this is awful. It makes The Bachelor look like The Sopranos.

So where does the show fit in the history of degrading and embarrassing celebrity reality shows?...

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean were nowhere to be seen last night as former Wag Lizzie Cundy took to the ice alongside Dancing On Ice champ Hayley Tamaddon. The Celebrity Coach Trip star was among the guests at the official launch of the Natural History Museum's winter ice rink, which opens to the public today.

Danny Young has admitted that taking on a role in new touring production Wildboyz is "unbelievably daunting". The former Coronation Street actor joins Alex Reid, Dale Howard and Marcus Patrick in the show, which has been described as 'Benidorm meets The Full Monty'. With the foursome playing exaggerated versions of themselves, Young told Digital Spy that the production will mock the current celebrity culture. "You get so many people now who go on Celebrity Coach Trip and they're suddenly a celebrity, and you think, 'f**king hell'. I've been working since I was 14. And then you've got these people coming out of certain shows taking jobs," he said. "I like that it's taking the p*ss out of yourselves. You can't take the play too serious. If you take it (more)...
