Dad of I’m A Celebrity’s Toff has a VERY surprising job

Toff's dad makes his money collecting scrap metal

| Updated:

I’m A Celebrity’s Georgia Toffolo might be one of the jungle’s poshest campmates yet, but her dad makes his living as a rag and bone man.

While Toff is making a name for herself on the ITV show, her dad, Gary Bennett, lives in Devon, where he drives around in his flatbed truck collecting old scrap and selling it on for cash, according to The Sun.

Toff is famous for appearing on E4’s Made In Chelsea, and now has a net worth of £800,000.

Toff has wowed viewers of I’m A Celebrity with her plummy accent, cheeky sense of humour and willingness to take on anything the Bushtucker Trials have thrown at her.

Gary told The Sun: “I am what I am. I’m not a toff but so what? I’m proud of that. I’ve had the big house and the big business and this is my world at the moment.

“Georgia’s gone a different way. The other side of the family yes, there is money, there’s still money there. My side of the family there isn’t.

“I’m in my little bubble and I’m good. I do a bit of hauling stuff around in my truck and I get paid a little bit of cash.

“So what? It suits me.”

“I’m very proud of Georgia and everything she has achieved — I’ve got nothing to hide about my past.”

Toff went to Maynard girls’ school in Exeter and Blundell’s boarding school in Tiverton, Devon, before studying politics at Westminster University, where she met the Made in Chelsea crowd.

Although she was popular on the E4 show, it wasn’t until Toff, 23, arrived in the Australian jungle that she really started making a name for herself.

She’s now so popular amongst viewers that she’s now one of the favourites to win the coveted “queen of the jungle” title.
