Well-heeled celebrities Georgia “Toff” Toffolo and Tom Parker Bowles are being lined up for the next series of Strictly. Insiders say I’m a Celebrity winner Georgia, who rose to fame on reality series Made In Chelsea, is in talks to join the BBC contest.

The Tory-supporting pal of Nigel Farage recently wed millionaire beer boss James Watt, founder of BrewDog. Sources say the Beeb are also after another name from the ranks of high society in Tom Parker Bowles – the eldest son of Queen Camilla. Food writer and restaurant critic Tom, 50, is a regular judge on MasterChef.

A Strictly source said: “Georgia is in talks to join – she would bring glamour, poise and fun to the show. She’s been a huge hit on all the telly shows she’s done and would be a popular contestant on Strictly.

“Top of their wishlist is MasterChef star Tom. His name was also sounded-out last year but never materialised. Bosses hope they’ll have better luck this year.

“It would be a coup to sign someone with such a strong royal link. Maybe we could see Camilla and Charles in the audience?”

Toff, 30, and entrepreneur James, 42 – whose estimated worth is £250million – met in 2023 on a blind date arranged by friends.

James popped the question last year on holiday in Greece and they married in March.

Toff, who won I’m A Celebrity in 2017, had opted for a low-key ceremony in the coastal village of Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire.

They spent the morning at James’s grandparents’ rural home, enjoying jam on toast with cups of tea in the kitchen before heading in a rental van to the local church.

After exchanging vows, they celebrated on a fishing boat in tribute to James’s fisherman dad.

Asked once if she was only with the BrewDog founder for the money, Toff said: “Going off the state of our joint bank account, on balance I would say probably not” – posting a picture of their joint account with nothing in it.

Meanwhile Eton-educated Tom may not be Toff by name – but as the Queen’s son he is very much toff by nature and would bring the show a strong upper-class touch.

He cites his mother’s cooking and recipes as his inspiration, and recently described Camilla – married to King Charles for 20 years – as a “great mum”.

The Queen once joked that she wanted to star in Strictly herself, as it’s one of her favourite shows.

The 77-year-old is said to have told the Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards that she would be up for the dancing experience.

Strictly returns in September. Comedian Chris McCausland, 47, made history on the last series when he became the first blind person to lift the glitterball.
