Georgie Purcell was born on 13 July 1992.<ref>{{cite web |title=Happiest of birthdays to the one and only GPMP! This year has been huge, you have already achieved so much.

== Personal life ==
Her wedding reception in 2019 was catered for with completely vegan food, despite only 30 of the 180 guests normally eating vegan. The meal was designed to show that vegan food can still be flavourful. Her husband had become a vegan on his 18th birthday, after watching a documentary called ''[[Meet Your Meat]]''. They met at a protest against live animal exports.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/true-stories/australian-couple-host-entirely-vegan-wedding/news-story/56f4de3b9ac3aa7399e9c8a1181f789a |title=Australian couple host entirely vegan wedding |first=Zoe |last=Simmons |date=26 April 2019 |publisher=[[news.com.au]] |work=Lifestyle |access-date=6 February 2024 |archive-date=7 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211207011543/https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/true-stories/australian-couple-host-entirely-vegan-wedding/news-story/56f4de3b9ac3aa7399e9c8a1181f789a |url-status=live }}</ref>
