When Georgia Toffolo started dating multimillionaire BrewDog co-founder James Watt last summer, she knew she had to get the seal of approval from her beloved dog Monty.

LEADING THE PACK ON HER LATEST MISSION GEORGIA TOFFOLO ON HOW SHE'S MET HER MATCH IN BUSINESSMAN BOYFRIEND JAMES

“It’s not a big deal if Monty likes you, because Monty likes everyone,” says the former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! winner – better known as Toff.

“But this was super interesting. We got in last night – James was staying over – and I thought Monty was going to have a heart attack. He was vibrating with excitement.

“I said to James: ‘He doesn’t do that when I come through the front door.’ But James walks in and he’s like: ‘Oh my God, here’s my person,’” she says with a laugh.

Toff, 29, describes the four-year-old King Charles cavalier and cocker spaniel mix as “the love of my life” – and Monty is part of the reason why the former Made in Chelsea star turned TV presenter, author and entrepreneur last week launched a campaign to improve standards in dry dog food.

A committed dog-lover – he named his company in tribute to his old mutt – James is, luckily, a big fan of her four-legged friend. He even threw Monty a birthday party at one of his BrewDog bars recently, providing doggy beer and treats.

“James no longer has a dog, but then Monty and I came along,” Toff says. “We’ve just spent a month in Ellon in Scotland [the home of BrewDog’s headquarters] and Monty went to work with him every day. It makes me giggle,” she says, her voice brimming with pride and affection.

ROMANTIC BREAK

Their extended visit to Aberdeenshire in December was another milestone in their blossoming relationship for the couple, who were first introduced on a blind date by friends.
