SHE’s the posh reality star who won I’m A Celebrity and is best mates with Boris Johnson’s dad.
And now that Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo has become a Mills & Boon author, she’s attracted a whole new fan base – men who want photos of her feet.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, she reveals: “I don’t get lots of men asking me out – I don’t believe that I even look that sexy on my Instagram – when other celebs have all these offers.
“But weirdly I do get dozens of guys asking for pictures of my feet.
“I’m not sure where this foot fetish even comes from! Although It’s not like I oblige as that would be very strange.”
Devon-born Toff, 27, is celebrating the release of her fourth racy novel – and her own love life appears to be back on track, too.

She’s rekindled her romance with millionaire aristocrat George Cottrell – though she remains coy about their reunion.
“I’d like to sort of shout from the rooftops about everything,” Toff admits.
“But when you’ve got people speculating whether I am with someone, that is too much for me. I’ve got to keep one bit for me.
“You see, if everything goes t**s up, I will then have to justify what has happened.

“I don’t want to have to justify why I’m with someone or why I’m not.”
Toff, presumably, is referring to the fact Cottrell – once a senior advisor to Nigel Farage and head of fundraising for UKIP – is a convicted felon who spent eight months in a U.S. prison following a money-laundering scandal. He was released in 2017.
“All I can say is that we have just been hanging out, and I’m really, really happy and everything’s going really well and I don’t want to jinx everything,” Toff adds.
“However, you will see in my book there is a huge comparison where I talk about the wonderful happy ending, so…”
Posh totty
Toff rose to fame on Made in Chelsea – and if she learned anything during her four years on the show, it’s that she prefers a man with brains over brawn.
“Any man of mine has to be intelligent, and probably quite posh to be honest,” she tells us.
“In my current novel, Meet Me at the Wedding, there is a guy called Henry who is a proper posho and super-hot.
“He owns a beautiful estate in Devon which is obviously my big fantasy.”
Convenient, then, that Cottrell – known as “Posh George” – has a family estate in Worcestershire.
Toff adds: “If a man wants to win my heart all they have to do is have an intelligent conversation with me.”
Toff points out she’s one of the few MIC women never to have hurled a drink over one of Chelsea’s many lotharios.
“I have always been tempted,” she admits. “I do remember how so many girls on the show would throw a red wine or a Baileys – which is even better because it leaves a faint sick smell for ages – over a guy if they had mis-behaved.”
She insists it was going on Celebs Go Dating in September 2017 that changed her outlook on the dating landscape.
“I think I’d been insular with my dating up until then,” she admits.
“And boy, did they do a good job at making it very different. I was sent off to Wales with a stripper.
“I was all dressed up to the nines thinking I was going to some stately home, and it was like a big joke that I had this big dress on and then he walked in and started stripping. But what fun.
“Then I was set up on a date with this rich lefty from a posh school and we just sat there and argued all night.”
Unlikely friendship
One man who has been a constant in Toff’s life is Stanley Johnson, after they bonded on I’m A Celeb in 2017.
The pair share a love of politics – though they don’t always see eye-to-eye.
“He is 54 years older than me but I do make him question politics and life,” she says.
“Everyone thinks we sit there and bang our fists on the table, and that he says ‘You’re right on everything Toff,’ but it’s totally the opposite.
“We disagree on lots of things. I mean, he’s a big Remainer and a huge Europhile and I am a real Brexiteer.
“We speak all the time. I haven’t seen him for a couple of months, we are long overdue a catch-up.
“We always go to the same place – Boisdale in Belgravia – for dinner. Stanley calls it Booze Dale’s because we get so drunk.
“We don’t pay and rack up a good bill, because Stanley writes for the Boisdale lifestyle magazine.”
Toff’s love of politics started at school, where she ran the school elections – and developed a “soft spot” for David Cameron.
On leaving, Toff briefly worked as a nanny before enrolling for a law degree.
She recalls: “I used to look after these children after school – they experienced the Toff school of learning where I used to basically sit by the door and put on a Harry Potter movie, and when the parents came home, we would turn it off and pretend we were doing our homework.
“I would often get my little Mini Cooper and we would go down the Kings Road.
“We had such a laugh, and then I used to run out of petrol.
“I was the worst nanny in the world. I couldn’t cook. I was totally useless, but the kids loved me.

“I wanted to be a barrister and went to Bristol to do law, but then I got the offer of Made in Chelsea. It was all so exciting, so I dropped out.”
That was eight years – and several reality shows – ago.
With her presenting and writing careers taking off, settling down has been the last thing on Toff’s mind.
But with marriage forming the theme of her latest novel, it’s thrown up a few questions.
“I change my mind about [getting married] every other day,” she says.
“My parents split up when I was a couple of months old, and it was a brave decision for my mum, having a teeny baby.
“But for them to be grown up enough to know that they didn’t need to be together to bring me up was cool.
“Mum said to me a couple of weeks ago, ‘You know you got really drunk last night and told me you don’t want to get married’. But I think I do. I think maybe it must be my age.
“Mum always taught me that the more ambitious you are, the more independent you become, and it’s so true.

“But then I think, when you set that precedent of, ‘Look, I can do this on my own,’ it’s quite hard to let go of. But maybe one day.”
Meet Me At The Wedding, published by Mills & Boon, is out now.
