Made In Chelsea star Georgia “Toff” Toffolo has said her dream I’m A Celebrity campmate would be Boris Johnson – ahead of going into the camp with his father.

The 23-year-old TV star, who has made a name for herself on the E4 series which follows Chelsea’s social set, is one of the newly announced contestants heading into the Australian jungle for ITV’s new series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.

She will be joined by former politician Stanley Johnson, who is the father of Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, and a host of other famous names including boxer Amir Khan and soap stars Jennie McAlpine and Jamie Lomas.

Toffolo said Boris would be her dream camper because “he would be funny”.

She said she was looking forward to showing a different side of herself to viewers.

The TV star explained: “I think people think I am ditzy, which I am in certain ways. But I really enjoy interesting conversation. I hope there are loads in there.

“I also think people think I am prim and proper and I won’t get stuck in but I will. It’s nice to show the real me.”

She will miss the final episode of this year’s Made In Chelsea (MIC), but insisted she is not leaving the popular series.

Her MIC co-star Sam Thompson lifted the lid on her entering the jungle as he denied he would be competing.

In a tweet posted at the weekend, which now appears to have been deleted, he wrote: “Just want to clear something up as everyones asking. I’m not going into the jungle.

“I would love to experience it at some point 100 percent. What I will say is that one of my best mates @ToffTalks is down under and I can’t wait to get behind her! She’s gonna smash it.”

Former MIC star Spencer Matthews was forced to quit I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015 after it emerged he was taking “steroid-based medication” to bulk up for a charity boxing match.

Toffolo has hinted she may hit the jungle shower in a white bikini – echoing the seminal moment from the 2006 series which saw Myleene Klass raise viewer pulses in her two-piece of the same colour.

Toffolo said: “I haven’t decided which bikinis to take yet but hey, you’ve got to have a shower haven’t you? It’s iconic. I have got to buy a white bikini haven’t I? One hundred percent.”

She was recently also seen on screen in Celebs Go Dating.
