- Reality television personality Georgia Toffolo and her husband, Brewdog co-founder James Watt, narrowly escaped French wildfires while on holiday in Cap Ferret last week.
- Toffolo decided to cut their stay short on Thursday after detecting the scent of the blazes and seeing ash falling, despite initial assurances that the fire was far away.
- The couple, who had four children in their party, left the area by boat as roads were closed, staying at the airport before their pre-booked flight to Iceland.
- Toffolo stated they were "very lucky" to have left just before a wider evacuation of the area took place on Friday.
- She expressed concern for those affected, noting that a quarter of a million people have reportedly fled their homes due to fires across southern Europe.
