Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo almost quit ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ after 10 days because she felt so weak.
The ‘Made in Chelsea’ star broke down in tears and told Medic Bob she couldn’t continue to appear on the programme because she could barely lift her arms up due to a lack of food, but he convinced her to remain on the show and she was crowned Queen of the Jungle in Sunday’s (10.12.17) final.
She said: "I said to Medic Bob, ‘I can’t carry on.’ I remember trying to do my hair in plaits and I couldn’t even lift my arms up. I thought I would have to leave.
"I didn’t get any extra food or drink. Medic Bob just said, ‘Come on Toff, it’s hit you first because you’re the smallest. Be strong.’
"He gave me the best pep talk, I had a tear rolling down my cheek. He talked me off the edge and I was all right."
Toff also burst into tears in front of producers when they told her she couldn’t wear make-up, but she managed to talk them round by convincing them she needed some foundation for medical reasons because of her spotty skin.
She said: "I honestly wouldn’t have been able to look any of my campmates in the eye if I didn’t have my make-up on.
"When producers told me it was banned I broke down in tears and said, ‘I can’t do this’.
"I’ve been to the doctors so much over the years. It’s a medical problem and I’ve been on strong tablets for six months trying to get rid of them.
"So show bosses agreed that, because it was a medical problem, I was allowed to put foundation on once a day in the morning."
The 23-year-old reality TV star took breast enhancers into the jungle to stuff her bra with but had to abandon that plan after she accidentally burst one by leaning on it.
She added to The Sun newspaper: "I felt really skinny. I had small boobies anyway and I looked down and I was completely flat. I took in chicken fillets in my bra, but I accidentally lay on one and burst it.
"So I had one booby with a chicken fillet and one without, so I had to sacrifice them.
"I’ve just had to embrace my small boobies. I doubt I would ever get a boob job when I can buy chicken fillets. It’s nothing to be ashamed of."
Toff beat off competition from former ‘Hollyoaks’ actor Jamie Lomas and talkRADIO host Iain Lee to win Sunday’s final.
