GEORGIA Toffolo didn't just win a legion of fans and a crown on I'm A Celebrity - she got the ultimate prize - clear skin.

“I have struggled with my skin," she said on This Morning.
"For the last ten years, I hide doing television, behind make-up.
"The amazing thing about the jungle, I’m obviously allergic to something, because my skin hasn’t been like this since I was 12 years old.
"It’s done an amazing amount," she said as Holly joked that she could be allergic to Chelsea.

"Yes!" she laughed before adding: "I’m glad it’s been spoken about.
"I did take in foundation and I’m not ashamed to say that I cover up my spots. I did find it very embarrassing over the years.
"I feel a lot more confident as I sit here now.”
Toff suffers from a medical condition that affects her skin and so she became the first contestant to be allowed to wear make-up in the jungle.

She exclusively told The Sun: "I honestly wouldn’t have been able to look any of my campmates in the eye if I didn’t have my make-up on.
“When producers told me it was banned I broke down in tears and said, ‘I can’t do this’.
“I’ve been to the doctors so much over the years. It’s a medical problem and I’ve been on strong tablets for six months trying to get rid of them.
“So show bosses agreed that, because it was a medical problem, I was allowed to put foundation on once a day in the morning.

Toff also added that she had a love of politics and she is keen to get younger people more engaged in the political process.
“I have spoken about politics a lot over the years. Sometimes with politics, young people in particular become disillusioned by it. Maybe that is the way forward, embracing.”
Can diet cure acne?
Candice Brown, an Advanced Skin Aesthetician with , said: “Diet can have a huge impact on the skin.
“Cutting out sugary foods and alcohol can enable tremendous improvements - as Toff herself has seen. “Toff has been exposed to less pollution, good sunlight and healthy nutrition which has clearly been very beneficial for her skin.
“For someone like Toff who has suffered from acne for many years, her poor skin health may also be in combination with hormonal changes. But it’s great to see her jungle stint.
“We see quite a large number of young women who have suffered from acne for many years and have been to their doctors and put on quite strong medication.
“While this can often be a quick fix, when they come off the medication patients can be left with concerns such as sensitive skin, dryness and scarring. I definitely recommend healthy nutrition, regular Blue Light (Omnilux) treatments and fresh air to improve acne and skin health."

Phillip Schofield even joked that she should join This Morning to cover the topic, saying: “You could be our political correspondent! I have the framework of the deal in my head.”
Toff recently opened up on her bullying hell as a 12-year-old - revealing it was so traumatic that her parents had to remove her from her posh girls’ school in Exeter, Devon.
She said: “It was a really horrible time in my life and I can’t really remember it. I think I’ve blocked it out because it was so upsetting.

“A group of girls didn’t like me and picked on me on a daily basis. They were ever so bitchy. But I moved on, with the support of my family. Even talking about it now makes me well up with tears.
“But it’s important to remember, most people have been bullied, and it makes you a stronger person in the long run.”
