It came after Georgia Toffolo posted a controversial video of herself driving her new Volvo.
Although she wasn’t technically holding the phone and filming which is illegal, it still could be considered dangerous.
This is because at times she looked at the camera instead of the road.
Fans were quick to point out how dangerous it was to make a video while driving a car.
One wrote: “You know it’s illegal to use your phone whilst driving, including making videos (especially for content). You’re supposed to be setting an example.”
Another added: “You are taking your eyes off the road, please stop this nonsense. Just focus on driving.”
This one said: “I can guarantee if she had caused an accident, she would have been charge with driving without due care and attention at the very least.”
However, other fans defended her, with one saying: “You can see she’s set it up prior to driving the vehicle, therefore it’s perfectly legal.
This one added: “No it isn’t (illegal) so long as it’s hands free. Which it is.”
Another said: “You are absolutely not ‘allowed’ to touch your phone the odd time. Completely hands free is legal unless can be classed as distracted driving.”
It comes after Georgia previously felt a backlash from fans after sharing her “controversial” wedding tips for 2025 brides.
The reality star tied the knot with Brewdog founder James Watt, 42, in March and won praise from fans for the low-key celebrations – despite their huge wealth.
Toff’s new husband alone is said to have a net worth of more than £250million.
But in July, she was accused of “ruffling feathers” after urging brides to ditch florists and cake makers in favour of £2 supermarket flowers and DIY sweet treats.
Using a phone while driving – the law
The following information comes from the government:
It’s illegal to hold and use a phone, sat nav, tablet, or any device that can send or receive data, while driving or riding a motorcycle.
This means you must not use a device in your hand for any reason, whether online or offline.
For example, you must not text, make calls, take photos or videos, or browse the web.
The law still applies to you if you’re:
- Stopped at traffic lights
- Queuing in traffic
- Supervising a learner driver
- Driving a car that turns off the engine when you stop moving
- Holding and using a device that’s offline or in flight mode
In an Instagram post accompanying a video of her intimate wedding ceremony, Toff said: “Controversial? Maybe. Honest? 100%. Pieces of REAL advice I’d give to a 2025 bride.”
She insisted that wedding cakes are a “complete waste of money” while flowers are “overpriced and overrated”.
Revealing her money-saving alternatives, she added: “We had the children bake ours [cake] that morning. No fancy tiers, no overpriced price tag. Just made with pure love. Best decision ever.
“I [also] grabbed daffodils straight out of the vase on our kitchen table, and you know what? They were perfect. £2 from the supermarket and not a single florist in sight.”
But some people were left fuming that her tips seemingly urged people to snub “hard-working and talented” local vendors.
One said: “Whilst the sentiment of your post is spot on; ‘your day, your way’, I do think you have slightly missed the mark here.
“Especially describing floristry and wedding cakes as overpriced and not necessary. Both professions are very female founder heavy & I think it’s a real shame to use your platform to describe the incredibly hard work and talent-driven work of those women as overpriced and unnecessary.
“Your DIY wedding is beautiful because that’s what you wanted, but let’s not diminish the incredible talent, skill and hard work of the women within the wedding industry.”
Another blasted: “So instead of spending a few quid of our vast wealth to support local, female-led businesses, I am instead going to tell my almost 2 million followers that what they do is pointless and they’re charging too much for their art and skill.
“Considering what you charge for an hours appearance, tell me, who is pointless and overpriced here…?”
Meanwhile, Georgia and James’ guests received just 48 hours’ notice of their surprise wedding.
The couple, who started dating in 2023, “eloped” after a ceremony which took place in a small church in the coastal village where fewer than 600 people live.
James’s two daughters from his previous marriage to illustrator Johanna Basford were bridesmaids in Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire.
