Georgia Toffolo’s talent agency is hit by money problems as it owes £400,000 to creditors – despite negotiating a £1.5million deal for friend Nigel Farage to appear on I’m A Celebrity
It’s a good thing former Made In Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo has struck a lucrative deal to get her boyfriend Nigel Farage on I’m A Celebrity.
The accounts for Toff’s talent agency were filed at the end of October and show net assets of £11,000, with creditors owed more than £400,000.
This comes after Georgia personally negotiated for boyfriend Nigel Farage to appear in the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
It is thought he will be paid as much as £1.5 million – three times the highest amount paid to a celebrity so far in the show’s 21-year history.
Georgia Toffolo – best known as Toff – won the show in 2017 and is said to personally lead negotiations between ITV and Nigel.

She is known to be friends with the politician and had a relationship with his former aide, the financier George Cottrell – known as ‘Posh George’.
Toff, who made his name on Made In Chelsea, owns the company Visionary Talent Agency.
An ITV insider said: ‘It was certainly a first, a former I’m A Celeb winner brokering a deal for another contestant.
‘Nigel has had the opportunity to go to the jungle several times, but this time Toff made it happen. Everyone involved in the deal is enthusiastic. It’s certainly a treat.’
Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock came third in the 2022 series, while Nadine Dorries, who was Culture Secretary under Boris Johnson, was the first to be eliminated by the public in 2012.
Both lost the Conservative whip, meaning they sit in the House of Commons as independents, because they took part in the show.
Former MPs including Edwina Currie in 2014, Lembit Opik in 2010 and Robert Kilroy-Silk in 2008 were also on the show.
The full line-up for the upcoming series was unveiled on Thursday, with soap stars, TV presenters, a retired boxer and a politician named among the stars heading to the Australian outback.
