Georgia Toffolo wins £37.5k at Cheltenham races as she praises 'beginners luck'

Reality star Georgia Toffolo has bagged herself £37,500 at Cheltenham races - and says it's all down to 'beginners luck'.

The 27-year-old has luckily managed to win a huge wad of cash as she put a £5,000 bet on the horses at the races.

Toff appeared to joke her incredible win was all down to it being her first time, but many fans slammed her 'beginners luck' claim as she put down a generous sum of money to begin with.

Sharing her news on Twitter, the former I'm A Celeb star penned: "OH MY GOD beginners luck [laughing emoji]."

She added: "Bloody hell can't believe it. Generous donation incoming to both the @BritishRedCross and @decappeal."

While many were ecstatic for Toff, others weren't convinced it was 'beginners luck'.

One puzzled person wrote: "Beginners luck at that stake???"

Another said: "Beginners luck my ass nobody puts 5k on there first bet."

A third commented: "Wow what a stake on the 1st race! Nice return though."

In recent days, Toff was slammed for featuring in an 'out of touch' holiday segment for This Morning.

The reporter was enjoying "a holiday of a lifetime," with a previous instalment having seen her in a luxury resort in Cancún - which also prompted a backlash.

And when another instalment of 'Toff's Mexican Adventure' aired, there was further criticism - with some suggesting that it was offensive amid devastating storms.

ITV viewers however weren't impressed, particularly as the footage aired shortly after another segment in which viewers were told how to save money on their shopping.

One viewer said: "So glad This Morning have segments on coupons and how to afford your shopping and then show us [Toff] on her jolly holidays."

"Use vouchers and save a few quid ... now here's Toff in Mexico rubbing your noses in it," said another, whilst a third viewer tweeted: "Shop for less but watch Toff in Mexico."

Others viewer referenced the recent storms, with one commenting on Twitter earlier: "Just what we all need to see on a drab, windy, Monday morning."

Another said: "Showing us [Toff] on holiday in a tropical location while we're all being battered by the third storm in a week, many deciding between heating and eating, is all we bloody need."
