Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo got off to a flyer on day one of Cheltenham by scooping £37,500 from bet she placed on the very first race of the festival.
The famous Cheltenham roar signalled the start of the four day jump racing spectacle and glamorous 27-year-old Toffolo was right in the mix.
The winner of 2017’s I’m a Celebrity get me out of here had cleverly backed Constitution Hill and Jonbon to finish in first and second place, or vice versa.
Toffolo had lumped on a £5,000 stake so she couldn’t believe her ‘beginners’ luck when Constitution Hill romped home with Jonbon way back in second place.
“OH MY GOD beginners luck,” she tweeted joyously with a photo of the betting slip attached.

“Bloody hell can’t believe it. Generous donation incoming to both the @BritishRedCross and @decappeal,” she added.
The Disasters Emergency Committee responded to thank her, adding: ‘Thank you so much for supporting our appeal Georgia! Your contribution will help aid reach our member charities in Ukraine and neighbouring countries!’
After fans questioned her ‘beginner’ bet of £5,000, Georgia also clarified that she had only meant it was her first bet of that particular horseracing festival, not her first bet ever.
Seeing some confusion re my caption – beginners luck because it was the first race of the festival! It is not, one might say my first rodeo. Wouldn’t normally share a bet like that but if it gets more people donating to the charities I’ll take the stick
