Former ‘Made In Chelsea’ star Georgia Toffolo is reportedly dating James Watt, the founder of craft beer company BrewDog. According to The Scottish Sun, “The Scots founder of the craft beer brand was set up on a blind date with the Made In Chelsea star, 28, over the summer. It was supposedly the idea of a mutual friend who thought the pair would hit it off.”

Before ‘dating’ James Watt, Georgia Toffolo, who won 'I'm A Celebrity', in 2017, was involved in an on-off four year relationship with George Cottrell but is believed to have split from him in February 2023. She was however spotted enjoying his company in London’s Mayfair in May of this year.
