“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.
