At the age of 2, Horsley was taken into hospital due to meningitis, the doctors and Georgia's family all believed she was fine and recovered, but during a school health check the school nurse discovered that Georgia was deaf in her right ear. Horsley kept her deaf ear quiet during the Miss England trials but after not hearing her number as she was called to the finals she then decided it was to time to tell everyone and come clean about it. Georgia is now very helpful and supportive of people struggling with deafness. She has 10 GCSEs, an A Level in Art, two AS Levels in Geography and Sociology, a diploma in Anatomy and Physiology, and a Red Cross Therapeutic care course qualification.
