Georgia “Toff” Toffolo was 20 years old when she first burst onto our TV screens on the hit E4 reality show Made in Chelsea. Although the TV star now lives in London, Toff was born and raised in Torquay and her family continues to live in the West Country.
Toff grew up between Devon and London where she attended Blundell’s School, Torquay Girls’ Grammar School, Maynard School and Stoodley Knowle. She has admitted to being bullied at school and after telling her father she was posted to Blundell’s in Tiverton as a boarder.
She then enrolled in the University of Westminster’s LLB degree in Law and Politics with the aim of studying commercial law, but later withdrew. Toff later worked for a family run law firm in Devon, a retirement home, a charity shop and the London law firm Family Law in Partnership.

The politics-loving Georgia has been a member of the Conservative Party since her school days. Speaking of her political views, she once said: “I believe that our country’s traditions should be upheld and I am a real advocate for business. I can’t understand why someone my age supports the Labor Party.”
In 2017, the reality star was crowned ‘Queen of the Jungle’ after winning ITV’s ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’, which made her a household name. She was the lowest paid star in this year’s series, reportedly making just £13,000 for going into the jungle.
Still, Toff has been smart with her earnings and the subsequent money she made from winning the show by investing in two snazzy new holiday homes in her hometown of Torquay. The Made In Chelsea star has started a new property venture with her mother Nicola, with the two seafront holiday homes now named after her, called Tofino and Terrazza Giorgia.
Georgia recently revealed that she “lived in fear” that people would find out how bad her acne was at the peak of her breakouts when she was younger. In her ITV documentary ‘In Search of Perfect Skin’, she revealed that she had ‘a terribly low opinion of herself’ at the time.
The reality TV star added that she would get up very early every morning to have enough time to cover herself in layers of makeup. It comes after – back in November – she opened up about the “all-consuming” battle with acne that began as a teenager during an appearance on Lorraine.
