When she noticed her father watching sports, she took a keen interest, and later became a sports fanatic herself. Her father watched sports with her and answered all her curious questions. Georgie fondly remembers watching tennis, cricket, and the olympics on TV with her dad.
Unknown to her, this same bonding over sports would later transpire to fuel her career in sports journalism.
Beyond that, the Tunny family would love watching TV shows like Vampire Diaries and ER together.
Georgie went to an all girls catholic school where she was expected to do academically well by her parents. She missed the teenage fun of having boyfriends, and going to parties because of that.
Other than that, her school had a supportive environment as well. She remembers her english teacher telling her she has a ‘good voice’, and getting the students knowledge about movies.
Due to these influences, she later on chose to study Film and TV.
