Scarlett Moffatt would never say never to Gogglebox return  but being on TV has changed her views
The County Durham-born TV personality says she still "can't believe" what her life has become since she found fame on the show

Scarlett Moffatt wouldn't rule out a return to Gogglebox - though she might have slightly different opinions after being on TV herself.

In an interview with Entertainment Daily, the Bishop Auckland-born TV personality was asked whether she'd ever return to the reality show which launched her career.

Scarlett became a firm Gogglebox favourite alongside her family, leaving the show in 2016 after winning I'm a Celebrity in 2016. The show changed her life - and she wouldn't say a definite "no" to returning.

The 30-year-old said: "I know it’s cliche, but every day – even on a bad day – I pinch myself and can’t believe this is my life.

"Never say never. I still do watch TV and chat non-stop – much to the annoyance of Scott. Although I would say I’m less critical now after actually being in the TV industry.

"I love watching Gogglebox, it’s like a talking TV guide.”

She also opened up about her relationship with boyfriend, Scott Dobinson, with whom she has just purchased a new dream home. The process was stressful, she said, but worth it.

She said: "Me and Scott can’t stop smiling, although if I’m totally honest with you it’s quite stressful.

“I don’t think I’ve written so many lists in my life – I’ve even got a list on what lists I need to write a list on!”

House-move stress aside, the couple couldn't be happier together, she said.

"Who knew that the key to a happy relationship is falling in love with your best friend?" Scarlett added.

Like most of us, she hasn't found lockdown easy, admitting this third shutdown “feels longer than the other two”.

She said: “My way of staying positive is reminding myself that every time I go to bed, I am one day closer to normality, and one day closer to a bottomless brunch with the girls.”

The star, who has faced online 'trolling' over her appearance, also shared her words of wisdom for anyone struggling with body image during lockdown.

She said: “We have all been guilty of looking in the mirror and being harsh on our own bodies. I always say if you wouldn’t say it to your best friend, don’t say it to yourself in the mirror.”
