Vicky Pattison thinks Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo was bound to win ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ because her reality TV background put her at an "unfair advantage."
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star – who won the creepy-crawly show in 2015 – predicted that the 23-year-old beauty would snatch the crown from last year’s winner Scarlett Moffat, who shot to fame on ‘Gogglebox’, before the series kicked off last month because she’s used to working in front of the cameras due to ‘Made in Chelsea’.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, the 30-year-old star said: "It’s no coincidence me, Scarlett Moffatt and Toff, who all make our living being ourselves on TV, have won.
"Hand on heart, I do think it’s an unfair advantage. We are used to reality TV and having cameras on us all the time. These sports stars, or former pop stars, are great but they lack the level of self-promotion we have. I’m not taking anything away from anyone because I think Scarlett and Toff deserved to win, and hopefully I did too. But what I will say is our reality TV backgrounds have stood us in good stead."
Following her win, fans up and down the country were hoping that Toff would go into politics after forming a bond with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson’s father Stanley in the jungle, but she’s adamant she’s not "intelligent enough" to become a MP.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "Oh God, no. I’m nowhere near intelligent enough but it would be a dream – in about 25 years."
Meanwhile, Toff believes being bullied as a child helped her to win the show because
she developed the ability to avoid confrontation from a very young age.
She said: "I’m very passive and in the four years I’ve been on ‘Made In Chelsea’ I generally avoid arguing. I really don’t like it.
"So when there was animosity in camp I could feel it. I would always remove myself from the drama by going for a work-out, a swim or hanging out with Stanley Johnson, who was mostly doing his own thing.
So I didn’t experience any upset.
"Maybe by nature and because of my past I protect myself. The minute I feel any tension I take myself away. I really prefer to be positive."
