Why Georgia Toffolo didn't take James Watt's name as she responds to 'gold digger claims' by sharing joint bank account
Former Made In Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo has lifted the lid on her recent marriage to James Watt, revealing why she hasn't taken his surname.
The couple, who first started dating in 2023, got hitched in March this year and gave their nearest and dearest just '24 hours notice' about their nuptials.
And amid the breakneck speed of their wedding as they eloped in Scotland, which came just five months after BrewDog co-founder Watt popped the question, people have had a lot to say about their relationship.
Earlier this week, Toffolo shared a screenshot showing the balance of her and her husband's joint bank account after a social media user asked her whether she was with the 42-year-old entrepreneur 'for his money'.

Hilariously, it had £0 in it - but obviously, they both aren't skint.
Toffolo is said to be worth about £5 million, according to the Tab, and Watt has a reported net worth of a staggering £262 million, so it's safe to say they're not doing bad between the pair of them.
And after sharing evidence which she hoped would put a stop to the 'gold digger' allegations being slung her way, the ex-I'm A Celeb contestant decided to offer some more tidbits about her marriage too.
The newlywed revealed why she has clung onto her maiden name rather than adopting 'Watt' instead after heading down the aisle last month.
Take a look at this:
During an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday (29 April), Toffolo explained that she 'loved' that an inquisitive follower had brought the topic up.
"So, to answer directly no I haven't," she said. "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 identity, 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 percent 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."
She has been better known as 'Toff' since she first appeared on our screens, so it would be quite the significant change for fans to get used to.
And although it's still one syllable and four letters, 'Watt' just doesn't suit her half as much, does it?
Announcing she had tied the knot with Watts in an Instagram post, Toffolo wrote: "James and I got married today.
"1st March will forever be the best day of my life - the day I became your wife. We eloped!"
She also promised her family and friends who weren't able to make the last minute wedding that there will be further celebrations taking place soon.
