Georgia Toffolo’s husband James Watt feared the worst after border control stepped in during the couple’s airport trip to Italy.
The former Made in Chelsea star, 31, filmed the moment for TikTok on Friday (July 10). She and James, 44, were heading to Lake Como when security approached him at the airport.
The clip started as a playful trend. The couple called out the annoying things each had done that day while moving through security.
Then the mood changed fast. A border control official approached the BrewDog co-founder, and Georgia’s camera dropped to the floor.

Georgia told followers: “He had border control with him standing, going through your whole phone, looking at your camera roll.” She added: “They went, ‘Did you delete all of them?'”
James then said: “Yeah…. I thought I was gonna go to jail.” Georgia replied: “That was awful right?”
Alongside the post, she wrote: “How did I forget to post this. James nearly got ARRESTED at the airport.” She added: “What a way to kick off Lake Como… meanwhile I’d been moaning that he wasn’t helping me film the TikTok. Sorry babe. Whoops.”
