I’M A CELEB SPECIAL
Made in Chelsea TV star Georgia triumphs... becoming 3rd woman in a row to lift crown
transparent plastic box for 10 minutes to win three starters for the finalists, plus her own drink and treat.
Biting green ants were put into one arm, soldier crabs in the other arm, while around her right foot they poured cockroaches and around her left it was yabbies and mud crabs.
To top it off, Toff had spiders, scor- pions and burrowing cockroaches running around her head. She lasted until the end and won the five stars, but said: “Whoever thinks of these trials is warped.”
Asked about the hardest challenges, she said: “My greatest achievement in the jungle was doing nine minutes with those enormous pythons on me, The Snakes Are High trial – one of my lowest points was my biggest triumphs. I was freaking out, but there was no way I was going anywhere.”
Toff went on: “There are quite a few things that are not as you imagined. The hunger and starvation is so rife. I kind of thought someone would give us a few titbits, just to see us over until dinner, but they don’t. What you see on the telly is what we go through.
“I do quite like rice and beans weirdly, I don’t know how or why. I always eat my beans first, one by one, then savour the rice because it is bloody fantastic.”
Asked what she had missed the most, she said: “I love my heated rollers at home. Heat them up and pop them in, put the make-up on and then it is a big, beautiful, bouncy blow-dry.”
Toff became close friends with Corrie star Jennie Mcalpine and in particular Stanley, who she treated like a granddad. Toff said: “Do you know, my opinions haven’t changed but I never envisaged growing so close to these people as we’re so different.
“Maybe outside we never would have met. I can’t believe I have formed such amazing friendships out of these people. It has really shocked me.”
Toff added: “Stanley in Made in Chelsea? Oh my God, that is going to happen when I get home. We can do a bump-in on the King’s Road. Stanley has promised me he is going to watch it, which is just everything.”
