Georgia Salpa Introduction

Georgia Salpa (Greek: Γεωργία Σάλπα; born May 14,1985) is a Greek-Irish model recognised as Ireland's premier glamour model.

Early life

Born to a Greek father and Irish mother in Athens, Greece, Georgia moved to Ireland at age four and was raised in Killiney, near Dublin. Her mother paints. She is the eldest of four children, having two sisters and one brother. In secondary school she was, in her own words, "a bit of a nerd...I always very thin and had really curly afro hair and had to wear glasses and a patch over one eye". After school she backpacked the globe for two years, visiting more than 30 countries, which included India, Thailand, Costa Rica, Brazil, Australia and Hong Kong.

Modeling career

In Ireland, Georgia undertook numerous modelling assignments for various publications. She also has made TV appearances on such programmes as The Podge and Rodge Show, Republic of Telly, Celebrity Salon and Catwalk to Kilimanjaro. She played a role as herself on Republic of Telly.

Msgazine and TV

Salpa has featured in both the Norwegian and Polish versions of FHM. Georgia writes a weekly feature in the Irish Daily Star newspaper. She reached a new peak in the presence of public consciousness in August 2009 after posing in a bikini for a controversial photoshoot for Food & Wine magazine alongside chef Neven Maguire. The magazine apologised after those offended vented their fury on Liveline. She then shocked her Sleeping Beauty colleagues, including Alan Hughes, in late 2011 when she quit the pantomime via a text message days before it began. Georgia has since moved over to the UK, where,she participated in the Channel 5 show Celebrity Big Brother where she was the third housemate evicted.

Personal, relationships

While in the house she dismissed her relationship with Calum Best as "a simple fling". She was up for eviction on the first turn but defeated Andrew Stone to secure her stay in the house. She then faced eviction for a second time following the third round of nominations after fellow housemate Kirk Norcross nominated her for not getting with him. She was evicted on that occasion.
