Millionaire Scots businessman James Watt has got engaged to Georgia Toffolo after the ex-Made In Chelsea star said yes to BrewDog co-founder and former CEO.

The beer guru, said to be worth around £262million, got down on one knee over the weekend while they holidayed in Greece with their families.

The brewery and pub chain boss is said to have popped the question in front of their loved ones, before they spent the evening partying, The Mirror reports.

Mr Watt co-founded the Scottish brewery and pub group in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, in 2007 alongside Martin Dickie, and the company has kept its headquarters in Ellon, Aberdeenshire.

And a source told the MailOnline: “He asked her to marry him yesterday in front of both of their families in Greece. After the proposal they went to a big party at the Peligoni club and ended up dancing on tables to ABBA, celebrating with all the other guests.”

The 30-year-old star, who found fame on the E4 show also won the heart of the nation when she appeared on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

The couple have been dating since last summer and live together in London. This is not the first time Georgia has been proposed to, as she was engaged to Nigel Farage’s former colleague George Cottrell.

But he reportedly spent eight months in prison in America over a money laundering scandal. The pair called time on their romance at the time but reunited in 2022 before ending things for good.

And James was married to Johanna Basford, who is a Scottish illustrator. She created a colouring book for adults titled The Secret Garden, which has sold more than ten million copies across the world.

The couple who divorced in 2020 share two children together. Speaking to the Daily Mail in September, Georgia confessed that an engagement ring would be the “ultimate” gift ahead of her 30th birthday at the end of this month.

She said: “It would be the ultimate 30th birthday present. You never know, I can hope and pray and I was praying yesterday so hopefully it’s not too far off.”

Earlier this year he announced he was stepping down from his role as CEO of the company, sayinghe would move to a newly-created position of “captain and co-founder” and retain his shares in the company.
