Remaining cheerful in the face of even the most testing Bushtucker Trials, Toff, 28, has been a cheerleader of the group. She’s dished out some tough love at times, even telling campmate Helen Flanagan, “You’ve got to do better this time. Sorry to be savage, but you have to.”
Since filming the series last September, we caught up with the former Made In Chelsea star to discuss her memories of the camp, why she burned her bra and why sampling liquidised kangaroo anus has left her prepared to eat anything…
You seem so happy in the jungle. Were you stressed?
I was happy on the whole but I will let you into a bit of a secret here – I have terrible jaw pain because I grind my teeth from stress. I had Botox in my jaw and, oh my God, the pain was gone after two weeks. I cannot recommend it enough, it’s the best thing. It’s the only procedure I’ve ever had done and my guy gives it to me every six months and the pain goes. Maybe it’s because I talk too much.
Was this your first time in South Africa?
I was there in 2021 to do a piece for morning TV about rhinos and preventative poaching. They think it’s the lesser of two evils to get rid of the horns, because if not, they’ll be poached. So, I stepped out with the vets and we darted the rhinos to sedate them. I had all these other ones around me and I was terrified that they would charge. Everyone in my earpiece is like, “Toff, get the content!” when I could have been trampled at any moment! I’m such a Bridget Jones!
How did you cope with the Bushtucker Trials?
