Georgia Toffolo reveals why she hasn’t taken husband James Watt’s surname following low-key wedding in Scotland

Georgia Toffolo has revealed why she hasn’t taken husband James Watt’s surname following their low-key wedding in Scotland.

The I’m A Celeb star, 30, wed the Brewdog founder in March, as the couple eloped to North East Scotland on a fishing boat. 

And during an Instagram Q&A session on Tuesday, one fan directly asked if she has taken James’ surname.

In a clip, she responded: ‘I love that someone’s asked this question. So to answer directly no I haven’t, but I wonder whether my feelings on that might change as the time goes on. I don’t know.

‘I’m sort of in two minds about the whole thing. I think my surname is such a big part of my idenтιтy, it literally is my name, as most people know me. 

‘So I feel quite wedded to it, but at the same time I’m quite traditional and you know if we have children one day they will 100% have James’ surname so it would be a bit weird if I don’t.

‘But for now from a work perspective and how I perceive myself, like Toff is a really big part of me, and to be really frank I can’t be bothered with the admin.’

Georgia also recently shared a rare insight into being a stepmother to her husband James Watt’s children.

Georgia admitted she ‘never expected to marry someone with kids’ but has fitted into the role just fine.

James shares two children with ex-wife Johanna Basford, a Scottish illustrator whose colouring book for adults, The Secret Garden, has sold more than ten million copies worldwide.

Sitting in her hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which ranges between £8,000 and £35,000, the Made In Chelsea star shared a playful video larking around with her two stepchildren.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases delivery of oxygen to the body by providing pure oxygen in an enclosed space with higher than normal air pressure. 

As she relaxed in her latest wellness ritual with an oxygen mask on, his children poked fun at her through the microphone.

She captioned her post: ‘”How is it being a step mum?” is my most asked question. This video sums it up.

'I love that someone's asked this question. So to answer directly no I haven't, but I wonder whether my feelings on that might change as the time goes on. I don't know'

‘I never expected to marry someone with kids at 30, but I feel so lucky.

‘Also yes, I’m in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber… my fave biohacking tool.

‘Over and out from the baby biohacker.’

Toff couldn’t stop giggling as she sat in the chamber wearing Princess Diana’s iconic ‘black sheep’ jumper.

Georgia and James got engaged in October after the millionaire proposed with an exquisite eight carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000 during a romantic getaway in Greece for Georgia’s 30th birthday.

And after the BrewDog founder previously insisted that the pair would be tying the knot this year, it appears that the couple were true to their word – though guests only had 48 hours notice to attend.

James wrote on his Instagram: ‘Georgia and I got married today.

‘Some key details: 1st March 2025 57.6722° N, 2.3372° W (Gardenstown, Northeast Scotland) 6°C, 17-knot winds (because Scottish weather never disappoints) Spaniel ring bearer

‘Guests – whoever could get there with 24 hours notice, Scottish honeymoon incoming. Married in the same church my grandparents were married in’

Georgia looked stunning for her big day, slipping into a cream, fleece off-the-shoulder dress – perfect for keeping her warm in the chilly Scottish weather.

The I’m A Celebrity star styled her blonde locks into an elegant up do’ and added dainty diamond earrings and a flowing white veil to her bridal look.

Perhaps not very bridal were the chunky brown boots she donned with the outfit, though this may have been for health and safety reasons amid their pH๏τoshoot on the boat.

Meanwhile, James himself rocked an unconventional wedding outfit, donning a cream beanie hat and a thick cream jumper worn beneath blue fishing overalls.

The couple certainly appeared to get in the spirit of things, with Georgia and James pulling different expressions as they got to grips with some lobsters.

Georgia’s post was greeted with a plethora of delightful comments from her fans and celebrity pals, who were equally shocked and overjoyed at her big news.

After sharing her images to social media, Georgia shared a video to her Instagram stories shortly after walking down the aisle, excitedly remarking: ‘We just got married!’

Georgia, who was sat in a car next to James – who at this point was clad in a smart, dark suit – said to the camera: ‘It was so unchoreographed! We just came out the church and were like “wait, where do we go now?” So we just sat in the car!

‘We’re going to meet everyone now but it’s the best day of our lives! I can’t believe it!’
