GEORGIA ‘Toff’ Toffolo broke the lockdown rules – to attend a birthday party for her friend’s dog.
The I’m A Celebrity Star appeared to ignore government orders to ‘stay home, save lives’ – just days after revealing her beloved grandma has Covid-19 and her grandpa died of the disease.

The Made in Chelsea star, 25, went to her friend Jess Hydleman’s house in London. A video showed giggling Toff, wearing a pink summer flowery dress, around a table with two men – Jess’s boyfriend and an unknown man.
They were on a Zoom online party with other pals who had sensibly stayed at home. Toff can be heard on the video asking, “So how’s Squirrel is he okay?” She then adds “well done Squirrel!” as the group raise glasses to toast and cheer the mutt.
A pal said: “Toff left her home on Friday to visit Jess in London for her dog’s party. Of all the reason’s to breach lockdown rules, your friend’s pooch’s first birthday is hardly essential travel.”
“It was so surprising to see Toff making such a blunder – especially after she has been so vocal during the pandemic.”
Give now to The Sun’s NHS appeal
BRITAIN’s four million NHS staff are on the frontline in the battle against coronavirus.
But while they are helping save lives, who is there to help them?
The Sun has launched an appeal to raise £1MILLION for NHS workers. The Who Cares Wins Appeal aims to get vital support to staff in their hour of need.
We have teamed up with NHS Charities Together in their urgent Covid-19 Appeal to ensure the money gets to exactly who needs it.
The Sun is donating £50,000 and we would like YOU to help us raise a million pounds, to help THEM. No matter how little you can spare, please donate today here: www.thesun.co.uk/whocareswinsappeal.
Toff, who regularly shares online videos from her own home, was at the flat of pal Jess, the ex-fiance of struggling tattoo obsessive Marco Pierre White Junior.
The I’m A Celebrity star, and pal of Stanley Johnson, the Prime Minister’s father, has opened up about the family tragedy that took her grandparent Bertie’s life.
She told Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time: “We have had a bit of a difficult time as a family. My grandfather passed away a couple of weeks ago. He will be put down as a coronavirus death.”
“We knew he had it about ten days before he passed away, but my grandfather has been very ill for the last six months to a year and in and out of hospital, so in the end it was that. My grandmother actually caught it off him in hospital.”

CLEANING queen Mrs Hinch has apparently been breaking lockdown rules by hosting barbecues in her garden.
The mum of one and Instagram star, 30, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, has urged her 3.3millions followers to “stay home guys, stay safe”.
But neighbours claim family members who do not live with her have been visiting in Maldon, Essex.
One said: “She has been having family over for barbecues. They weren’t doing any social distancing. I want to see my family as well but we can’t. We have to isolate to help the NHS.”
Sophie’s spokesman said the internet influencer did not want to comment.
“When it all happened I thought it’s not going to come near me or my family and friends but I can’t believe how many people close to me and their family members – it doesn’t discriminate.”
Georgia first shared her sadness at not being able to grieve with her family after her grandfather died at the beginning of April.
The reality TV star shared a touching tribute of herself and her grandad singing ‘My Way’ together at her 25th birthday party last October.
Join our George Cross campaign for NHS staff
We are urging Sun readers to sign a petition calling for our NHS staff to be awarded the George Cross.
We are backing a proposal by Lord Ashcroft to honour our health heroes with the gallantry gong given for acts of bravery that did not take place in battle.
A No10 spokesman said: “The NHS is doing a fantastic job and the nation will want to find a way to say thank you when we have defeated this virus.” SAS hero Andy McNab added: “The award of a George Cross would show an emotional appreciation.”
We are asking our readers to please sign the petition below.
