What’s not to love about Georgia Love? After chatting to the former Bachelorette and roving Ten News reporter from the Melbourne home she shares with fiancé Lee Elliott, we can unequivocally say: nothing. This girl is pure sunshine!

You have a lot going on right now, with work as well as your podcast, Everyone Has An Ex. Listening to people’s dating disasters has become a guilty pleasure!

Have you been flooded with crazy relationship stories?

Yeah! It’s been pretty amazing, actually. Because of my surname and being on The Bachelorette, people are always associating me with love, but here I am telling stories about people’s break-ups and the most horrible times in their lives! It’s been really fascinating.

It must be a nice change from the hard news you report on day-to-day …
