Georgia Toffolo opens up about skin condition: ‘My biggest struggle’

The reality star says it can dictate how she feels about herself in an instant

Georgia Toffolo has candidly spoken about her long-standing battle with "severe acne", describing her skin as her "biggest struggle".

The 30-year-old, known to fans as Toff from Made In Chelsea and as the winner of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, has shared a series of revealing videos and photographs of her skin.

The posts document the "relentless" journey and fluctuating nature of the reality TV star’s skin condition over many years.

“I never thought I’d still be battling severe acne at 30,” Toffolo said in a post shared on Instagram.

“My skin has been my biggest struggle for as long as I can remember. The ups and downs, the flare ups, the way it can dictate how I feel about myself in an instant. It’s relentless.

“But documenting my skin from May through to September has taught me something important: healing isn’t about reaching ‘perfect’ (because there isn’t such a thing!!). It’s about noticing the shifts, being kinder to myself on the hard days, and remembering that happiness can exist alongside struggle.”

Toffolo said she had learnt a number of lessons along the way.

“Progress isn’t linear: and that’s completely OK. Kindness to yourself is everything: speak gently, especially on bad skin days. Life goes on: living fully isn’t cancelled because of breakouts.

“If your skin feels like your biggest enemy right now, please know this: You’re not alone, and you are so much more than what you see in the mirror.”

Toffolo won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2017, and during the series formed a close friendship with Stanley Johnson, father of former prime minister Boris Johnson.

She returned to the jungle in 2023 for the ITV all-star spin-off series, I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, in which former contestants battled it out to become the first I’m A Celebrity legend.

In March, Toffolo married BrewDog co-founder, James Watt, in Scotland.
