Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo has revealed she was allowed to take make-up into the I'm A Celebrity jungle – despite it being banned for other contestants. The 23-year-old Made in Chelsea star, who was crowned winner of the 2017 series, confirmed to the Sun that she was given permission to apply foundation because of a pre-existing skin condition. "I honestly wouldn't have been able to look any of my campmates in the eye if I didn't have my make-up on," Toff admitted. "When producers told me it was banned I broke down in tears and said, 'I can't do this'.

"I've been to the doctors so much over the years. It's a medical problem and I've been on strong tablets for six months trying to get rid of [the spots]. So show bosses agreed that because it was a medical problem, I was allowed to put foundation on once a day in the morning. I wish I could walk around with no make-up on but I have big angry red marks all down the side of my cheeks. Some people don't understand how badly it upsets my confidence and upsets me."
