Georgia Toffolo reveals sadness at being without her family after her grandfather died this weekend
GEORGIA Toffolo has shared her sadness at not being able to grieve with her family after her grandfather died this weekend.
The 25-year-old Made In Chelsea star shared the news of Bertie's passing on Instagram with a touching tribute.
The reality TV favourite has been unable to spend any time with her family during this difficult time due to strict isolating rules during the government's coronavirus lockdown.
Posting a video of herself and her grandad singing 'My Way' together at her 25th birthday party in October, Georgia wrote: "I’ve been a little bit quiet as we lost my Grandad over the weekend.
"I’m trying not to feel so sad because there’s too much sadness at the moment. I already miss him terribly, and someone sent me this. We had no idea we were being filmed it was my 25th birthday last year.
"We were the stragglers at the table, not wanting to leave when everyone else had! I will forever miss listening to Sinatra with you.
"I’m going to keep myself busy and keep smiling (no more crying - he would hate that) and hopefully the time will go quickly so I can see the rest of the family."
She added: "I’d also like to thank every person who has been kind to us as a family, particularly anyone who cared for him it gave us and him such comfort. I love you Grandy x".
It is not known how Bertie died, and The Sun Online have contacted Georgia's rep.
The star has always been incredibly close to her grandfather, with he and her grandmother even flying over to Australia back in 2017 to surprise Georgia when she won I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
Speaking on This Morning, Georgia said at the time: "I kept saying to my mum and dad that I had to ring my grandparents and then I walked into the canteen and there they were.
"It was the most amazing moment."
