Georgia Toffolo's TV career has been a complete "surprise" to her.
Georgia Toffolo has been surprised by her TV career
The 29-year-old star shot to fame in 2014 when she became a cast member on reality series 'Made in Chelsea' and now regularly features on the small screen with presenting roles on shows like 'This Morning' but admitted she had initially planned to take a different route entirely.
She told Metro newspaper's Sixty Seconds column: "My whole career has been very unexpected. I thought I was going to train to be a solicitor and then I wanted to be a barrister. So this has really taken me by surprise. I think the highlight for me has got to be my books."
The 'Meet Me...' author now has more than one million followers on Instagram and described the platform as a "real responsibility" as she described "going out of [her] way" to have open and honest conversations with followers.
She said: "It's a real responsibility. I go out of my way to have conversations on there that are real and honest. Social media for me has been a gift but for some, it can take a toll. I'm big on talking about skin positivity because I've struggled for 15 years with quite severe acne."
In 2017, the reality star took part in and won that year's edition of 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' and admitted that she has only watched this year's series on and off because she becomes "envious" of the celebrities in camp as she admitted that venturing to Australia for the ITV1 jungle reality series was the "best thing" she has ever done.
"I dipped in and out as it's really weird when you watch it because you're slightly envious you're not there. It was the best thing I've ever done. What I would give to have that calm solitude again - three and a half weeks with no phone or contact with anyone. I love proving to everyone that I'm stronger than I look and different to what they perceive."
