. the date is on the receipt,' one eagle-eyed follower commented. 'Anyone else think this looks photoshopped?' added a second.

'if you look at their body outlines in the photos it looks photoshopped for sure lol,' decided a third follower.

On Tuesday, April 1, Georgie shared a professionally short video of herself and her brother and co-founder Coopa Stevenson strolling dramatically out of the airport, flanked by four staff members wheeling expensive-looking luggage cases.
