In previously unseen pictures, Toff is seen showing off her skills on the court in her native town of Torquay, Devon, where she played tennis at the same club where Sue Barker started out.

Showing promise to make it to the big leagues, she began winning tournaments in her local town at the age of 11, taking out the under-12s Junior Club Championship at Torquay’s Belgrave Road tennis club.  

She went on to join the cast of Made in Chelsea in 2015 and her celebrity status has risen even further now she is in the jungle in Australia.

The pictures emerged as it was revealed Toff’s odds of winning I’m A Celebrity have been slashed again by Ladbrokes. 

The reality star is said to have been a huge hit with both viewers and punters, with her odds taking another plunge making her the clear favourite for glory at just 7/4. 

Stanley Johnson follows close behind at 5/1, with Jamie Lomas and Jennie McAlpine sharing odds of 6/1 apiece. 

A Ladbrokes spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Toff’s the darling of camp as far as we’re concerned. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if she becomes the odds-on favourite sooner rather than later.’

It’s no surprise that Toff and Stanley are close in the odds as the pair have formed a firm friendship since entering the jungle – bonding over their love of politics. 

Toff took things a step further during Tuesday’s episode as she revealed Boris Johnson’s father was her very unlikely jungle crush.

The blonde coyly revealed she ‘had a thing for older politicians’, after putting on a giggly display when she teamed up with the 77-year-old for a playful Dingo Dollar challenge.

Stanley and Toff were faced with a simple quiz about their co-stars, which saw them answer questions about each celebrity to light up their faces on a board, and bag a token to exchange for a treat.

However, while the challenge got into full swing, it was the playful relationship between Toff and Stanley that caught the most attention.

The game revealed that Stanley had performed a handstand live on Good Morning Britain, leading Toff to giggle: ‘Flexible, agile, handsome!’, and later admit she had a slight crush on the former MP.

She said after the trial: ‘I have always said I do have a thing for older politicians before I came in here… and can confirm that is still standing!’
