The “I’m a Celeb” stars were not made to wait though, and instead were whisked inside the Natural History Museum for the annual Conservative fundraiser.

Toff, 23, donned a white lacy gown for the event, and posted an clip on Instagram of herself getting ready with Boris Johnson’s 77-year-old father.

She also filmed herself scrolling through the items up for auction at the glitzy bash in South Kensington, which included a home-cooked dinner with Michael Gove and his wife Sarah Vine.

But around 150 of those scheduled to attend, some who had paid up to £15,000 for a table, were left stood queuing on the street in freezing temperatures as the doors were kept closed.

They had shelled out to hear Theresa May give a speech, as well as meet senior ministers including Amber Rudd, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, along with backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg.

But also in attendance was the Duchess of Cambridge’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, who assaulted his wife last year after they attended a different charity auction.

The 52-year-old close relative of Kate Middleton tweeted pictures of himself with Boris and his father, along with Ms Toffolo.

On the menu was cured sea trout and slow-cooked blade of beef, washed down with what Mr Johnson calls “Brexit juice” — English sparkling wine.

Mrs May, who is this morning convening her Brexit “War Cabinet” again, delivered a speech outlining her plans for the EU negotiations.

She told the assembled donors, celebrities and politicians: "Ever since the British people delivered their vote in the referendum, I have had no doubts about what our new relationship with the EU must mean for the United Kingdom.

"It will mean taking control of our money - so we are not sending vast annual subscriptions to the EU.

"It also means control of our borders - so we decide on our own immigration policy; one which attracts the brightest and the best to come to these shores, and one which also ensures we are investing in our own talent here at home.

"And it means control of our laws - so British courts are supreme and the European Court of Justice no longer overrules them."

She stressed her plan would mean leaving the single market and customs union but "constructing a completely new trading partnership with the EU".

And Mrs May also accused Jeremy Corbyn of “exploiting populist politics”, which she said ere putting free trade and economic liberalism are under threat.
The PM added: “And what do they offer? Massive re-nationalisation. Capital flight. A run on the pound. That all leads to a bankrupt Britain.

“That’s why as Conservatives, we are on a renewed mission to fight and win the battle of ideas and to defeat socialism today as we have defeated it before.”
