Georgia Toffolo displays her toned figure in a Burberry bikini as her husband James Watts shares a glimpse into their Maldives getaway

Daily Mail​10-07-2025
Georgia Toffolo turned heads in a tiny bikini as her husband James Watts shared a glimpse into their summer getaway on social media on Thursday.
The Made In Chelsea star, 30, who married James, 42, in March, have been living it up in the Maldives.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, James shared a clip of Georgia under a pool hut as they took shelter from the rain.
In the shot, the I'm A Celeb star looked sensational in a black Burberry bikini which was adorned with its signature check straps.
She teamed the look with a tiny black sarong as she flaunted her toned physique.
Reposting the clip, Georgia penned alongside the post: 'First bit of rain we've had and it lasted 10 mins and was quite fun ha.'
Earlier in the day, James shared clips of the pair scuba diving, something Georgia said she 'didn't really ever want to do.'
It comes after her husband James called her out for Googling herself 'five times a day' as they took part in a brutal social media trend.
The pair took to Instagram on Tuesday with a clip of them participating in the 'passing the phone' challenge.
The challenge, which went viral on TikTok, sees the person holding the phone throw shade at the person the next person that receives it.
Filming on the beach while in the Maldives, Georgia kicked off the video by saying: 'Passing the phone to someone who still thinks I married for love.'
As James received the phone, he replied: 'Passing the phone to someone who jumped in a higher tax bracket just by saying "I do"'.
After a few more rounds, James told the camera: 'I'm passing the phone to someone who says they hate the attention but they Google themselves at least five times a day.'
'You're worse, you're always on it. I see behind you in the office you're always like James Watts,' Georgia quipped.
James joked: 'It's about half my day.'
Alongside the clip, Georgia penned: 'Can't decide if this was therapy or character assassination.
'Apparently the humidity makes us both deeply unwell lol. Love you really @brewdogjames
'That said, not sure I'll ever emotionally recover from the tax bracket comment tbh.'
It comes after Georgia claimed Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez should have donated the '£50+' cost of their lavish Venice wedding to charity.
The TV personality, who just three month ago eloped with BrewDog millionaire James, took at a swipe at the newly married Amazon founder during an Instagram Q&A with fans on Sunday
The Bezos-Sanchez nuptials boasted A-listers in entertainment and sports, from Tom Brady, the Kardashians, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey and more.
Georgia even questioned how it was possible to spend such an eye-popping amount after one follower asked: 'What do you think about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding?'.
She replied: 'OK so - each to their own and I know so many women out there fantasise about their wedding day and want a huge day. However...'
'IMAGINE if they'd have instead given the £50+ million (how on earth do you even spend that on a weekend) they've spent on charities. That would have been the coolest most brilliant thing ever'.
She continued: 'Weird and cringe to say this and I'll probably regret it and get hate but the £ we would have spent on our dat for donated to our local church where we got married'.
'James did it without telling me which genuinely was the most thoughtful wedding gift ever'.
For her own wedding in March, Georgia and James shocked fans with their humble affair after eloping before celebrating on a fishing boat in Scotland because they were keen to do things their own way.
The down to earth day showed them embracing onboard the vessel just off the coast of the picturesque town of Gardenstown in Aberdeenshire.
Gardenstown is a small coastal village in northeastern Scotland where the main economic base is fishing.
The town boats a quaint beach and working harbour, and a historic church which overlooks stunning sea views.
Georgia then revealed they were going on a three-day honeymoon in Scotland and had kept things low-key since the wedding - with their lives going straight back to 'normal'.
The pair got engaged in October after the millionaire proposed with an exquisite eight carat triple-diamond studded band.
The ring was estimated to be worth £200,000 during a romantic getaway in Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday.
And after the BrewDog founder previously insisted that the pair would be tying the knot this year, it appears that the couple were true to their word - though guests only had 48 hours notice to attend.
Bezos and Sanchez arrival in Venice was far from smooth sailing, with the duo plagued by protesters who were furious the needs of local residents were allegedly being sidelined to make way for wealthy tourists.
Bezos is worth around $224.6 billion and is thought to have spent tens of millions on his wedding.
'If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax,' one gigantic banner read in St. Mark's Square.
Greenpeace and the UK-based collective Everyone Hates Elon joined protests in Venice attempting to disrupt, or even prevent, the planned wedding celebrations of Amazon founder Bezos.
'Jeff Bezos is the second-richest man in the world yet is reported to pay a 1.1 percent true tax rate,' the two groups previously said in a joint statement. 'The multi-million-dollar wedding is reportedly happening over three days, with the wedding ring alone worth as much as $5million.'
A spokesperson from Everyone Hates Elon previously said: 'As governments talk about hard choices and struggle to fund public services, Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down half a city for days on end just to get married.'
Venice mayor Luigi Brugnaro and regional governor Luca Zaia have spoken out in favor of the nuptials, which have been dubbed, 'the wedding of the century,' pointing out that the celebrations are expected to bring $23-34million to local businesses.

‘I earn over £100k but travel the world on a shoestring – here's how'

With a six-figure salary and a three-bedroom London flat, Maria Lagutina seemingly has little need to be thrifty. But the 43-year-old swears by travelling the world on a budget, using home swapping websites which allow her to stay in strangers' houses for free. Maria, who works for NatWest, has travelled to Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Kent via home swapping agreements – and she claims to have saved as much as £15,000 in less than a year. 'I feel like we're holidaying now like people who have much higher salaries than us,' she says. 'We're being given an opportunity to holiday in a way that richer people don't think about.' Maria is part of a growing generation of Henrys (high earner, not rich yet) who earn six-figure salaries, yet find their cash swallowed up by high living costs every month. Such workers, who were once known for their aspirational lifestyles, are increasingly looking to cut back – especially on luxuries such as travel. Enter home swapping. The deal allows travellers to stay in someone else's property for free while also opening up their own, again for free. The idea was popularised by the 2006 film, The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz as two characters who switch homes for Christmas. It has gained greater traction in recent years as families look to take more holidays per year while also grappling with the increasing cost of travel. In the 12 months to August 2024, British holidaymakers took an average of 3.9 trips per person, according to ABTA, up from the 3.4 holidays taken the year before. Meanwhile, a survey by consumer body, Which?, found the price of a package summer holiday in 2025 is now £50 per person more expensive than last year. Home swapping has also been praised for minimising the effect on local communities as the home is already in use, so it doesn't lead to local anger linked to second homes. But, for Maria, who originally hails from Russia, the biggest advantage is how much money she saves. She earns more than £100,000 a year, but still has a £400,000 mortgage on her £750,000 flat in Greenwich, south London. She claims she and her partner, Oleksandr Chudinov, 41, have been able to take more lavish breaks by using the home swapping website, Kindred. The site works on a 'credit' system. For every night a homeowner hosts a traveller in their property, they earn one credit, which allows them a onenight stay in somebody else's home. All properties hold the same value, regardless of whether it's a studio flat in London or a 10-bed villa in Mallorca. Home swappers do not necessarily stay in each other's properties, like in The Holiday. Instead, owners put their properties on the website and choose for themselves where they want to visit. The couple typically let out Oleksandr's mortgaged townhouse in the Amsterdam suburbs while they are travelling. They first began home swapping when Maria took part in the Chicago Marathon last year. The average cost for overnight accommodation in Chicago in September 2023 was $305 (£227), according to Statista. It meant that a week's hotel cost alone would have been $2,135 (£1,590) – and that may have been further inflated due to the popularity of the marathon. Maria says: 'It was a flat, but it was downtown Chicago and the architectural style was that of older town houses with wooden staircases. 'There would have been no chance we could have rented that if it had been on the open market. It would have been too expensive.' After a week, they flew to San Francisco where they also stayed in a home swap property, before renting a car and driving to Los Angeles with friends. In total, they spent 17 nights in the US and estimated it would have cost them a minimum of £12,000, excluding flights, had they not home swapped. Over the last 10 months, they have taken seven trips totalling 43 nights. Their travels have included a staycation to Penshurst in Kent and a week-long stay in Majorca in a four-bed villa, which would have cost them at least £300 a night. The pair also went to Reynès in France this year too but paid for that holiday. Oleksandr, who is on a break from a 15-year career in corporate banking, said: 'I feel like it gives us more opportunity to travel. If you are willing to open your house to other people, the world is much bigger to you. 'But in a way you are paying for it by hosting guests. You still have your own costs in terms of a mortgage. In the past, we'd have double costs – you'd pay a hotel and at the same time your house would be empty but you'd still be paying your rent.' Home swappers should be aware of increasing regulatory red tape which means they could attract a bill from the taxman. Rules enshrined in the 2016 Budget by the then-Conservative government mean that non-monetary property income can still be taxed. This means home swappers may be liable for a bill, depending on the estimated value of the stay they received in return for letting out their property. Lindsey Wicks, of Tax Policy at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, says: 'Casual letting of property counts as a taxable property business. So even if a person doesn't receive money for letting out their property, they are taxable on the equivalent of the value received – in this case the value of staying in another property. 'If these home swapping transactions are done on a small scale, there may be no tax to pay.' Homeowners can earn up to £1,000, or equivalent, tax-free from renting their property. Wicks recommends that anybody who thinks the value of their home swapping stays exceed £1,000 should contact HMRC. She adds: 'Taxpayers should also be aware that online platforms have obligations to report details of goods and services to tax authorities where transactions exceed certain limits.' A spokesman for Kindred said it encouraged home swappers to seek guidance from qualified tax advisers if they have questions about their situation.

Here are the top six TV shows that have us wanting to book a getaway ASAP, from tiny villages in Portugal to beautiful vineyards. White Lotus Aside from the murder, weird goings on and strange guests at the White Lotus resort, it's an incredibly enviable holiday destination. The very first season starring Jennifer Coolidge and Sydney Sweeney was filmed in the stunning Four Seasons resort in Hawaii. For season two, they moved production to the Four Seasons San Domenico Hotel in Taormina, Sicily. As for season three, it returns with eight episodes on February 16, 2025, where they filmed at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. Koh Samui is a small island off the east coast of mainland Thailand making it the best place for diving and snorkelling. The stunning desert paradise offers hillside villas, pools overlooking the ocean and personal residential assistants to help guests with whatever they need. The fastest way to get to Koh Samui is by flying to Samui International Airport (USM). You can fly from Bangkok, the UK, or other cities in Thailand. There are lots of attractions on the island, from a sunset cruise to visiting the Big Buddha Temple. You can stay in these six holiday homes from TV & Film 14 14 The Good Ship Murder Much of the filming for this Channel 5 drama took place on the MSC Virtuosa, a cruise ship operating out of Southampton. The ship is used for all the location shots while still carrying fee-paying passengers. While there are a few murders, much of the show has a stunning backdrop because the majority is filmed in Malta. The island country in the Med is the perfect place for a getaway and there are plenty of filming hot spots to hit if you're a fan of the series too. Filming has previously taken place in the church in the village of Mellieha, Imġiebaħ Bay, St Christopher's Street, the Upper Barrakka Gardens, Victoria Gate which are all in Valletta, the country's capital. 14 14 Love Island: All Stars Reality fans are glued to the current Love Island series, but we're obsessed with the villa from Love Island: All Stars on ITV2. In the backdrop of the Franschhoek winelands is the beautiful villa, Ludus Magnus. If you don't need a resort, there are lots of apartments for rent around Franschhoek, which is an hour drive outside of South Africa 's capital of Cape Town. Franschhoek is known for being one of the most beautiful wine villages in the world and stands out as the premier wine and food region of South Africa. There are lots of opportunities to explore the winelands and the neighbouring mountains by horse or tram. 14 14 Emily in Paris Luckily for us, a trip to Paris is pretty easy thanks to the Eurostar. Emily and her French pals have given us plenty of places to check out. From the Bistro Terra Nera which doubles as Gabriel's Restaurant. Emily's go-to bakery is La Boulangerie Moderne, and her famous apartment is just around the corner on Place de l'Estrapade. As fans know, in season four, the characters ventured out of Paris and went to the French Alps. They stayed in the Haute-Savoie town of Megève which is the perfect place for a skiing break. 14 The Split: Barcelona The Split spin-off in Barcelona aired its finale in December 2024. If you couldn't stop checking out the beautiful scenery, then make sure to book a trip to the Spanish capital. The characters are reunited at a wedding that takes place in a vineyard - one you can go to. The Torre del Veguer vineyard is in Sant Pere de Ribes. The vineyard is located about an hour and a half's drive from Barcelona. The vineyard offers lots of activities from yoga and wine sessions, wine pairing experiences and a tours of the vineyard which come before a wine tasting. 14 14 House of the Dragon The Game of Thrones spin-off used so many locations to create the other world of Westeros. A lot of the backdrop you see is actually filmed in Wales and Cornwall, but there are a few of locations outside of the UK too. Monsanto in Portugal doubles for Dragonstone, the ancestral home for House Targaryen, one of the forty dragonlord families, in the first season. The village is perched on top of a hill is famous for its ancient castle, boulders and is considered one of the most picturesque villages in Portugal. If you fancy a stay in the village, there are some charming Airbnb's available to rent for as little as £80 per night. 14 14
