TV star Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo on campaigning for better dog health, her new relationship and what the jungle taught her
SHELLEY SPADONI
Georgia Toffolo, known as “Toff”, is on top form when she catches up with new about all manner of things – from life, to love and best friends.
The former reality star and I’m A Celeb jungle queen – a dog aficionado as her X account bio tells us – revealed she’s ready to fight their corner as she launches her campaign at Westminster to remove dangerous glycotoxins from processed dog food.
And the entrepreneur, who founded subscription dog food company Wild Pack and runs her own talent management agency, is also refreshingly open as she talks about life after Made In Chelsea – which she admits was a “dream” job, but was definitely “of its time”.
She also opens up about turning 30 this October and, of course, we couldn’t chat to her without finding out all about her romance with boyfriend James Watt, the 41-year-old founder of BrewDog. Toff met the Scottish beer company boss last summer on a blind date.
Known for her positivity, Toff has never sounded quite as happy as she is at the moment. Here, she shares the secrets behind her smile.
Hi, Georgia! Are you still loved-up?
Oh, James and I are very similar and he’s brought so much happiness to my life. We both have this understanding that the work we each do is super important. We ask each other’s opinion on everything – even if we ignore the other’s advice!
Is moving in together the next step, then?
I think so. We keep laughing about not having had “The Conversation”, but in saying that, we kind of have?! I’m pretty independent, so I want to keep that, but create an incredible home together. And frankly, carrying bags between our houses is getting pretty silly because we want to be together every night.
Are you hoping James is The One?
God, yeah! I wouldn’t be with him if I didn’t. I don’t like wasting time, and I’m very impatient so yes, I hope so.
Miles Nazaire is on Dancing On Ice this year. Do you know each other?
He started on MIC the year I left, but no. There were so many people on the show that I never got to meet! I don’t watch Dancing On Ice but it’s great that Holly [Willoughby] is back. I followed the story at the time, it was awful. She must have been nervous coming back, so well done, her.
Speaking of Made In Chelsea, how do you look back at your time on the show
