No jet lag (an actual dream), just the most amazing culture and people. 'What I LOVED… ♥️ The vibe: It feels like stepping into another world. From the terracotta walls to the scent of spices in the air, pure sensory bliss. We stayed in the most heavenly riad with breathtaking interiors. 'The food: Moroccan cuisine is next level. Tagines, couscous, and sweet mint tea. I basically ate my way through the trip. 'The interiors: Everywhere you look is a dream. Tadelakt walls, handwoven rugs, patterned tiles, lanterns, even the door handles are pretty. 'The souks: Slightly chaotic but so much fun. Ceramics, rugs, cheeky fake designer belts… it's all there. Prepare to haggle and get lost (in every sense lol). 'Hammams: A Moroccan spa is not to be missed! Slightly intense (you'll be scrubbed within an inch of your life) but your skin will thank you. 'The people: Everyone was so warm and welcoming. Not to be dramatic, but everyone says 'with pleasure, Madame' and it's my new fave phrase. WITH PLEASURE XX 'The weather: Perfect in early or late summer. Avoid July/August, it gets HOT. 'No time difference to London: For someone who really suffers with jet lag, a game changer. 'Not-so-amazing (but real) bits (upside down smiley face) 'Riads are beautiful but quite dark inside. We'd 100% stay in one again, but worth noting if you love bright spaces. 'The chaos: The Medina is full on. I went to the souk after a massage… not my best idea (laughing emoji) 'The hidden steps: They're everywhere. I tripped constantly. James found it hilarious. '"Helpful" strangers: Some offer directions then ask for money, not a huge deal just something to be aware of. 'Dress code: More western than I expected, but you'll feel more comfortable covered (shoulders/knees) in the Medina. 'Traffic: Crossing the road is a sport. Hold your breath and go. 'Would we come back? 100% YES. Four days felt like a proper reset. Already planning round two, probably October. She concluded: 'Save this for your next sunshine escape. Send to the group chat, you'll need a souk buddy x' The pair got engaged last October after the millionaire proposed with an exquisite eight-carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000 during a romantic getaway in Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday The vacation snaps come after Georgia revealed earlier this year that she and James eloped in North East Scotland.

Taking to Instagram, Georgia shared loved-up snaps of the newlyweds posing on a fishing boat moments after saying 'I Do', captioning her shock post: 'James and I got married today.' '1st March will forever be the best day of my life - the day I became your wife. We eloped! 'Guests: whoever could get here with 48 hours notice!

Georgia Toffolo displays her incredible figure in a black bikini as she shares a glimpse inside her lavish Marrakech riad with husband James Watt
Bikini-clad Georgia Toffolo turned heads as she took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday with a glimpse inside her lavish riad with her husband, James Watt. The Made In Chelsea star, 30, married her husband James, 42, in March, and they have jetted off to Morocco. Taking to her Instagram Stories, the beauty told her followers that she was heading into the lift in their riad to grab a snack on the ground floor. Filming herself in the elevator mirror, Georgia wowed as she showed off her sensational figure in a black bikini. The sizzling two-piece featured a halter neck top adorned with a gold pendant and tie-at-the waist bottoms. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Addressing her followers, she said: ''The snack was secured. Back up to the bedroom.' She then flipped the camera to face the lift doors opening before sharing a glimpse of her lavish riad. As she walked to the end of the corridor, she made James jump with a sudden scream, causing him to drop a pack of cards onto the floor in a fright. The trip comes just days after Georgia wowed in an array of bikinis while on a girls' work trip to Greece. The reality star revealed last month she had taken her team of staff at The Visionary Talent Agency on holiday to Greece for a work trip. And after returning home, and feeling the holiday blues, Georgia took to Instagram on Sunday to share a final carousel of snaps. Featured were several pictures of Georgia sporting bikinis, with the star showing off her toned torso in a blue diamante halterneck number featuring a starfish design. Another two-piece Georgia was spotted wearing was a cute black and white polka dot wired bra with a flower applique. As she walked to the end of the corridor, she made James jump with a sudden scream, causing him to drop a pack of cards onto the floor in a fright Among the snaps included Georgia in a skintight grey playsuit for a day out at the beach, and another saw her wearing a cute white cardigan and polka dot midi skirt. She also sported a bright red plunging swimsuit as she rode a jeep through the beach with one of her pals. Georgia shared another snap as she posed with her team as they basked in the sun during their trip. She captioned the snaps: 'Can't believe I'm saying this… but the Greece spam is officially over. One last dump because this trip deserves it xx 'We had slightly chaotic boat rides, UNO matches that got weirdly intense, and sunsets that made us all go a bit soft. 'Whisked the gang away as a little thank you for being the most hardworking, hilarious, brilliant bunch… Best decision ever. Heart = full. 'Already dreaming up the next escape… Where should we go next? Hit me with recs pls!! ✨.' During the trip, Georgia shared a hilarious video on Instagram of her nightmare boat trip in Greece. Georgia shared another snap as she posed with her team as they basked in the sun during their trip The former Made In Chelsea star began the ride with perfect blow dried hair, dressed in her stylish beach attire, but was soon left completely windswept after a very hectic boat trip. She was left in hysterics as she held onto the boat for her life during the 'gale-force journey' around the gorgeous Greek seas. In the clip, Georgia could be heard shouting 'Make it stop!' while holding onto her beach hat to stop it blowing away. She captioned the post: 'When we said boat day this is not what we had in mind… 'BUT swimming off the boat in the most crystal clear water, surrounded by fish was just magic. So calm SO PERFECT it almost made us forget the gale-force journey. 'This trip just keeps surprising us in the best (and most hilarious) ways. Although… we are very glad to be back on dry land lol. Never felt more grateful what a team xxx' Her trip comes after her new husband James Watt revealed how he lost £150,000 while gaining a wife in Georgia, as the couple opened up on their need to keep adding to their already eye-watering multimillion pound fortune. The BrewDog co-founder and Georgia began dating in 2023, before tying the knot in a low key ceremony in March this year. Last month it was revealed that the newlyweds are worth a staggering £425million, according to The Sunday Times, overtaking the likes of Ed Sheeran, Lord Sainsburys, Harry Styles and Lewis Hamilton. Following their placing at 304 on the publication's Rich List, the couple opened up to the The Sunday Times on their relationship, where they both insisted that they couldn't rest on their fortune and needed to keep making money. Reflecting on how they came to fall for each other, James revealed that their first date came about as a result of one of his 'worst-ever investments' that cost him £150,000. He recalled: 'Georgia is the outcome of one of my worst-ever investments. I have a portfolio of about 20 small businesses and one of them fell by the wayside, but the founder of that business knew Georgia and set us up. 'So I may have lost £150,000 but I gained a wife. Maybe it was my best investment ever?'

I try the BrewDog brewery tour in Ellon - is it worth £20?
I visited BrewDog DogTap this weekend – for what was probably the fiftieth time – but my first time inside the actual brewery. People either love or hate BrewDog, but there is no denying the bar and restaurant in Ellon is always busy. I've visited with my family for special occasions, catch-ups and spent God knows how much on beer and wings. But I have never done the brewery tour. Intrigued by the affordable £20 price tag for the 1.5 hour tour, I booked my dad and I in for the tour. A pre-Father's Day treat, if you will. As part of me expected, I'm the only woman on the tour. There's me, my dad and a group of men possibly there on a stag do. Our enthusiastic tour guide, Lisa, meets us at the upstairs bar at BrewDog DogTap in Ellon. We immediately get a taste of BrewDog beer while we get kitted out in goggles and high-vis. It's just gone 12, but it's five o'clock somewhere, right? Sadly as the designated driver, I'm limited to AF. But my first taste of the day, Lost AF, is always a hit with me. We head out of DogTap Ellon towards BrewDog HQ next. On our way Lisa – self-proclaimed historian and bartender – talks through some of BrewDog's history. She makes several references to BrewDog's beginnings in the Broch, stating the bar relocated to Ellon because 'Fraserburgh decided they didn't want us.' And that iconic colourful artwork on the side of the DogTap building? Lisa explains that it was done by an artist who was caught graffiti-ing on the old Fraserburgh bar. How punk. We arrive in BrewDog HQ, heading up a spiral staircase into the main offices of the Ellon team. This is a real peek behind the curtain. I didn't meet James Watt, but I did get a glimpse into his psyche. Though Lisa does admit that 'we [BrewDog] are no longer punk', souvenirs of the beer's rebellious and outrageous beginnings fill the place. There are photos of the 2012 protest when the team drove a BrewDog tank down Camden High Street. Other memorabilia draws into focus the success of what began as a small Aberdeenshire brewery run by two mates and their OG Brew Dog Bracken. Lining the walls are prints of each of the BrewDog bars across the world. These fill every inch of wall in a belt. It is impossible not to be impressed by the scale of something which started off in a 'tiny, derelict shed', and has since spread around the world. BrewDog opened 15 bars in 2015 alone. Key names of other locations opened over the years stick out to me: Paris, Budapest, Reykjavik, São Paulo, Stockholm. All the way fae the Broch. Suitably impressed – despite our fellow tour attendees talking over Lisa – we head into another room for our second tasting, and to learn more about the beer. I'm proud to say I name three of the four main elements in beer, teacher's pet that I am. My dad sneaks in there by naming the most obvious: water. There's also hops, malt and yeast. Now it's time for another beer sample. This time, it's Punk AF for me. My dad and the other drinkers enjoy a taste of the Hazy Jane Guava IPA. He isn't a sweet tooth, but is actually a big fan of this. The fruitiness isn't overpowering or sickly. The brewery tour continues with our progress into the brewery itself. Now it's time for us to don our goggles, and me to tie up my hair. Inside the brewery, we get a look at the mash tuns – yes, these play a part in whisky distillation and beer brewing. I've visited several breweries before for interviews, but it's interesting to see this on a tour perspective too. The bitesize explanations and handy infographics would make this comprehensible even for a total beer novice. It's also pretty cool to see the canning process on the go too. Watching cans flee along the line, then head out the door packaged on pallets. After this, we return our high-vis in exchange for a token we can redeem for a final beer at BrewDog DogTap. All in all, the BrewDog Brewery Tour was great. The chatty group was slightly distracting at points, but it provided a great insight into the north-east beer giants. It was fun to see the behind-the-scenes of the beer I've been enjoying for years, and learn about the history of the business while standing where employees do every day. My dad who has been drinking beer longer than I've been alive, said: 'It was enjoyable and informative, and great to see the brewing process from start to finish. 'What an achievement creating a huge global operation from humble beginnings with two men and a dog. 'It's nice to see an Aberdeenshire business thrive like that.' For me, it is well worth the £20 price tag.

Dundee Dad caught up in Liverpool FC parade incident
A Dundee Dad has relived the moment he witnessed a car being driven towards football supporters in Liverpool. James Watt, 51, was one of thousands of Liverpool fans celebrating their team's Premier League title triumph in the city on Monday when the incident unfolded. A 53-year-old man has been arrested after a car collided with fans on the city's Water Street at just after 6pm. Police confirmed on Tuesday that 65 people had been injured. James told The Courier: 'This black ford drove down the left side of the road really quickly and I saw the guy driving towards us. 'I noticed him fairly late, but the guy in front of me started to run. 'We both darted over to the left behind a big public bin. 'The guy drove past us, blowing his horn. 'Everyone dived out of the way, then people got really angry and started chasing him down the road. 'But he disappeared fairly quickly and we lost track of what was going on.' James spent most of the day near the Royal Liver Building on The Strand after travelling to Liverpool for the celebrations. An open top bus parade made its way down the street in the evening. Afterwards he started to make his way back to the train station. James said: 'After the bus passed everyone naturally made their way back up Water Street. 'There were thousands of people and you had to take tiny steps forward all the time 'If the car had come down at the spot five minutes earlier nobody would have stood a chance.' James and other supporters walked past an ambulance and a queue of cars waiting on the other side of Water Street as crowds started to thin slightly. It was then the black Ford came careering towards them. He added: 'As we ran out of the way of the car, I actually got a really good look at the driver and he looked really angry. 'Nobody had interacted with his car and he initiated this. 'The crowd turned pretty quickly and you'll see videos of the crowd attacking the car. 'But they were trying to stop the guy from killing someone. 'This was just a normal guy with a look of absolute rage on his face.' James has been a Liverpool FC supporter since he was five-years-old. He had travelled down himself and left his car in Southport, catching a train to Moorfields Station. James added: 'It was an absolutely amazing day, with a carnival atmosphere. 'But one person has just turned the whole thing into (something) verging on a tragedy. 'It felt like there wasn't a lot of police there and very few barriers. 'There was nothing in place to stop any large vehicle from coming through. 'It does make you think twice about big crowds, but I don't want something like to stop me from going back to another parade.' James was able to return to Southport after passengers were evacuated onto trains at Moorfields Station. Phone service was poor in Liverpool. And it took some time for news of the casualties to filter through to James and his fellow passengers. He phoned family and friends to let them know he was okay and arrived back in Dundee at 2am on Tuesday.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 30, wore a black polka dot two piece while relaxing in the sun. Sharing a series of photos to her Instagram Story, Toff teamed her bikini with a straw hat and went makeup-free. Lounging by the pool with her work colleagues, the group sipped on a Symprove gut supplement. Toff could also been seen as she treated the group to an evening out for drinks and a ride around the island in a Jeep. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Her trip comes after her new husband James Watt revealed how he lost £150,000 while gaining a wife in Georgia, as the couple opened up on their need to keep adding to their already eye-watering multimillion pound fortune. The BrewDog co-founder, 42, and Georgia began dating in 2023, before tying the knot in a low key ceremony in March this year. This week, it was revealed that the newlyweds are worth a staggering £425 million, according to The Sunday Times, overtaking the likes of Ed Sheeran, Lord Sainsburys, Harry Styles and Lewis Hamilton. Following their placing at 304 on the publication's Rich List, the couple opened up to the The Sunday Times on their relationship, where they both insisted that they couldn't rest on their fortune and needed to keep making money. Reflecting on how they came to fall for each other, James revealed that their first date came about as a result of one of his 'worst-ever investments' that cost him £150,000. He recalled: 'Georgia is the outcome of one of my worst-ever investments. I have a portfolio of about 20 small businesses and one of them fell by the wayside, but the founder of that business knew Georgia and set us up. So I may have lost £150,000 but I gained a wife. Maybe it was my best investment ever?' Explaining her attraction to James, Georgia said that her type is 'powerful, successful men' and while giving an insight into their marriage, she admitted the couple 'talk about work constantly'. She went on to insist that, despite having her eye-watering nine-figure net worth, she has to be constantly working to bring in more money, because she is 'brilliant at spending' it. She confessed: 'I do have to keep working and earning all the time because I'm brilliant at spending money. James is good at saving and planning for the future but that's not something that ever comes to my mind.' While James admitted that he is also obsessed with continuing to grow his millions, saying: 'No matter how much I've achieved, or how much money I've made, I'm always thinking: what's next?' It came after Georgia shocked fans after revealing her and James' currently empty joint bank account, as she hit back at accusations she was only with the businessman for his money. In an Instagram Q&A she responded to a question about whether she was a gold-digger by sharing a screenshot of the pair's current account balance of £0. The reality star said: 'Going off the state of our joint bank account, on balance I would say probably not. What do you think?' While last Saturday, Georgia admitted she 'can't bear to be apart' from James, as she took to Instagram with a gushing birthday tribute to her husband. Speaking over a series of videos of the pair looked smitten while enjoying trips away, the I'm A Celeb star gushed: 'Happy birthday to the love of my life. 'Before I met James I'd heard about this wild, crazy, brilliant but totally unstoppable businessman - but what I found when I met him was something much better than that. 'You are kind, you are gentle, so beautiful through and through and I still can't quite believe that we are married.' The BrewDog co-founder, 42, and Georgia began dating in 2023, before tying the knot in a low key ceremony in March this year (pictured together on wedding day) She added: 'The life that we're building together, the calm and sense of peace in our family, I've never had this and I feel so very grateful. 'Since we got married on March the first, something has really shifted. I feel more safe and more held than ever. You support me in so many ways that I struggle to explain. You know I can't bear to be apart from you. You just make me feel so safe. The pair got engaged in October after the James proposed with an exquisite eight carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000 during a romantic getaway in Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday.
