Gogglebox star has proudly introduced her ‘perfect’ new beau to the world on the hit Channel 4 show, while chatting with her sister Ellie. The 31 year old TV personality had previously teased her 412,000 followers with snaps of the enigmatic man, but his name had been kept under wraps until now – and today she delighted fans further with a “sweet” family snap.
Posting to her Stories, the star shared a snap of her two kids as they smiled while standing next to a pony. She captioned the lovely family memory, writing: “The sweetest old boy” with an in-love emoji.
During Friday’s episode of Gogglebox, an elated Izzi revealed that her boyfriend’s name is Toby, as she gushed to her older sister: “Wait till you see what Toby got me for Valentine’s – a card in a box!’
Ellie then read the card aloud. It said: ” Ellie then proceeded to read the heartfelt message inside the card: “To Izzi, our first of many. Thank you for being the absolute best. I bloody adore you. Happy Valentines Day. I love you loads and lots more. Toby.”
Izzi, clearly over the moon, hugged the card close and playfully asked Ellie: “How sick are you feeling now?”

Ellie, who herself has been with her partner Nat for five years and shares son Ezra with him, responded humorously: “I need to take a picture so I can send it to Nat so he can cringe. I mean I would love for Nat to write that for me but he’d [shudder].”
The revelation came as a surprise to fans, as Izzi had announced just last October that she had split from Grant, her partner of a decade and father to her two children, Bobby, 10, and Bessie Rose, 5.
In a surprising revelation, she had successfully kept her single status a secret for 18 months. It was only when she shared her ‘ideal man’ checklist with Ellie, humorously dubbed her ‘Mary Poppins’ list, that viewers learned the advisor was back in the dating game.
She unveiled: “My partner who is practically perfect in every way, do you want to hear it? It’s quite extensive. I’ve separated it into essentials and nice-to-haves.
Don’t miss… [UPDATE]

“So on the essentials we’ve got: hardworking, open-minded, kind, attractive, good with money, clean criminal record, zero drugs police/no drink problem, emotional intelligence, full head of hair, patient, discreet, loyal, supports my hobbies, wants to be my plus one.
“And then nice to haves: nice teeth, nice car, generous, good style, taller than me, cooks nice dinners. So hence why I’ve been single for the last 18 months.”
In December, she uploaded a collection of photos from her 31st birthday festivities, captioning the post: “Had the best time birthday-ing in Paris.”
One image features Izzi at the base of the Eiffel Tower with Toby, while another shows them dressed to the nines for an evening out, standing next to two towering Christmas trees. A short video clip captures the duo raising a toast with champagne flutes.
Curious followers couldn’t help but probe when one asked, “New boyfriend?” while another echoed, “Who’s the new man?”
Additionally, Izzi included a snapshot of the same chap in her highlights of 2024, rounding off the post with a fond reflection in her caption: “2024 was certainly one to remember for all the right reasons. Here’s to making more memories with all my favourite people in 2025. I wish everyone a happy and healthy new year xx.”
