Although she has several family members also living in Dubai, they were not there at the time, which meant that had to spend Christmas alone in hospital.
Georgia spoke about the worry she had when doctors told her they thought that one of her ovaries had ‘twisted and burst’.
She recalled: ‘When they first took me away they sort of said to me, ‘I just hope you’re aware that we might have to put you under, we might have to remove your ovaries.’

‘I was on my own and I was really scared and I was saying, ‘Will I still be able to have children?’ and stuff like that.’
Georgia described the experience as ‘traumatic’, as she revealed that doctors attempted to calm her down.
She went on: ‘Thankfully, it was just a burst cyst, which infected all my organs.
‘As much as it left me really ill, I don’t have any serious damage in the long term. I’m just so grateful.’
Despite her previous fears, the TV personality is still hopeful she will have kids of her own in the future, adding that she would like to have ‘three children’ and become a ‘self-made millionaire’.
Georgia had previously updated fans from her hospital bed during her stay at the medical facility while she recovered from her infection.

Taking to her Instagram Story, she explained: ‘I had a ruptured cyst without knowing and it has caused multiple organs in my body to become severely infected, my kidneys being the worst.
‘The doctors here are amazing and we’re doing our best to fight the infection but currently I am still suffering with high fever, when not on paracetamol, and abdominal/back pain.
‘Lots of you have been asking for an update so there it is, I’ve never been someone to shy of sharing my day to day life with my followers.’

She continued: ‘I’ve never fallen ill like this before, the only time I’ve been in hospital was to pick up some boobs so it’s been a real shock to me and quite scary.
‘But I have lots of amazing friends in Dubai who have brought me presents, clothes, flowers, foods and I’m in extremely good hands when it comes to the medical team here.’
The reality star had previously expressed her fears of the prospect of spending Christmas alone, as she told fans that doctors were keeping her in for a further three days, after she was sent to hospital on Christmas Eve.

Sharing a video from her hospital bed that showed a drip attached to her arm, she wrote: ‘I don’t want to panic you all because I’m in a stable condition, but I’ve got to be kept in for three days.
‘That’s why I’m not out with everyone tonight. I’ve never spent Christmas Eve on my own, let alone in hospital in Dubai.
‘This has been the maddest week of my life. It’s not COVID – they’ve done a COVID test, so that’s one thing.

The star did go onto praise hospital staff for their care, insisting that despite the prospect of spending Christmas alone, she was being well looked-after.
