All hail Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo, Queen of the Jungle! After 22 days in the Australian wilderness, the Made in Chelsea actress(?) has emerged triumphant, with more than 10 million people cheering her home at the end.
The 2017 series, which concluded last night, was dominated by media discussion about the presence of Boris Johnson’s dad, Stanley, in the line-up. In the end, Stanley made it to the third week of the competition, coming across as a fairly sensible, paternal figure with many of his son’s mannerisms but little of the bravura bluster. For all the talk about how Stanley could refresh the British public’s cooling infatuation with the blond barnetted Foreign Secretary, he ended up doing little to stoke interest in the Johnson clan. But, of course, Stanley isn’t his son, and if the bods at Conservative HQ were sitting up at night watching I’m a Celeb, it won’t have been the 77-year-old former MEP who caught their eye.
