Ex-reality TV star Toffolo shares Christmas road trip with BrewDog boss
BrewDog boss James Watt and former Made in Chelsea star and influencer Georgia Toffolo made a detour via Inverness for a Christmas getaway.
Sharing stories from Inverness as the couple picked up a car from the Highland airport, the loved-up couple shared photos from their drive to Aberdeenshire.
Georgia – known as Toff to fans – is believed to be on a Christmas getaway to James’ home in Ellon.
The couple picked up a rental car, with Toff saying James didn’t know how to drive a manual.
He even refused help from staff at Inverness Airport on advice on how to drive the car.
Toff shared four short videos of James, laughing together at finding themselves on a surprise road trip from the Highland capital.
In the video, Toff said: “Good news is we are in Scotland. The bad news is that we are nowhere near where James lives, we are in Inverness.
“But we have a naughty little rental car.”
And then to James, she said: “Look at you in a Mazda. Looking good, darling.
“The guy was like ‘do you want help to turn it on?’ and James said ‘no I know how to do it’.”
She then laughs as she says to James: “No you don’t.” As he looks for where the keys go in the car.”
Complaining about the “smell” of the clutch – in a dig about James’ driving – Toff appears to be having fun on the 100-mile drive between Inverness and his home in Aberdeenshire.
She said: “You not knowing how to drive a manual is giving me the euck.”
She later criticises his driving, with a cheeky Instagram post saying: “Not very smooth”.
Toff and James made a pit stop at luxury store Johnston’s of Elgin – where Georgia says she was “too tight” to buy some of its expensive cashmere jumpers.
However, she did pick up a box of food, showing her fans, she said: “I’ve got a quiche, scone and East 17 on”. In the background East 17’s Christmas hit Stay Another Day is playing on the radio.
It is the first time the couple have shared Christmas together, after confirming their relationship earlier this year.
Days before their road trip, Toff tried on outfits for a Christmas party, asking her followers to be honest about their favourite.
After a few outfit disasters, including trying on a see-through number, she chose a cool look in a black suit for the “agency” party.
Earlier this year the controversial Aberdeenshire self-made millionaire, 40, showed the British TV personality around his chain’s flagship brewery in Ellon.
The couple were set up on a blind date over the summer by a mutual friend, and they apparently “hit it off instantly”.
