I'm A Celebrity winner Georgia Toffolo gets emotional as she reveals her acne on TV
Very brave
Georgia Toffolo, 'Toff' to many, made her name when she starred in Made In Chelsea. However, her popularity soared when she took part in last year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and won!
Last year it was revealed that the reality TV star has skin problems, and now the full extent of her problems have been bravely revealed on TV. Yesterday (19th February) Toff appeared on This Morning to speak about her acne. She explained, "It got really bad when I was in Australia and I cried a lot in my hotel because I couldn't face being on TV and being so exposed without my foundation."

She continued, "Thankfully I was allowed it because it's been a medical condition for so long but I can't believe my spots almost prevented me from doing something I've wanted to do for ages."
She went on to reveal that before seeing a skin specialist, she had been called hurtful names such as pizza face. "It's just so horrible when people pinpoint something that you feel so badly about," she explained.
In the programme Toff visits a skin specialist in Chelsea who gives her a prescription. Toff will now be documenting her journey to get help for her skin condition for This Morning over coming episodes.
During her time in the jungle viewers noticed the Made In Chelsea star always looked fresh-faced and blemish-free, and questions began to get asked. It was later revealed that 23-year-old Toff has had problems with her skin for many years, and her treatment is sun sensitive, so she wasn't allowed to use it in the jungle. Because of this she was allowed to use concealer on medical grounds.
