Yahoo News What did people think of Scarlett Moffatt's Streetmate?
Another week, another revival. This time it's the return of Streetmate, the TV show that saw Davina McCall (and later Holly Willoughby, lest we forget) try to play matchmaker by roaming the streets and pairing up hopefuls.
Gogglebox star and last year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! winner Scarlett Moffatt has taken over as hostess for Channel 4's afternoon revival, today playing Cupid in Sheffield and Cardiff.
Viewers took to Twitter to tweet (as they do) their thoughts, and we've gathered some of the best ones here.
The main talking point was Scarlett herself, and people seemed to think she was a natural choice for the show:
Gutted #streetmate is only on for half an hour was right into that then love @ScarlettMoffatt I need her help to find me a date 😂

Ah @ScarlettMoffatt is perfect on #Streetmate . She is the perfect down to earth presenter with no ego and not TV rehearsed
- Johnny Seifert (@JohnnySeifert) August 21, 2017
@ScarlettMoffatt That was really good, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, well done! :) #streetmate

Gonna be controversial here and say @ScarlettMoffatt is a far better host of #StreetMate than @ThisisDavina ever was...

Awww loving @ScarlettMoffatt on @streetmate she's like the best mate you've never met #streetmate

Although there was one thing she did (or rather, didn't do) that annoyed people:
Oh @ScarlettMoffatt you could have cleaned your laptop first 😂 #streetmate
- Scotty W (@Scottishwoody) August 21, 2017
Is her laptop touch screen ?? Or just dirty #streetmate

Clean your computer screen Scarlett, you've triggered my OCD. #streetmate

The format of the show and the type of people on it proved more divisive however:
Nice to see people actually meeting people instead of swiping in life! Should b interesting with social media around this time #streetmate pic.twitter.com/ALQNYwSv3s

Make it more realistic and have fat people or disabled people on. Don't just pick the "fitties". #streetmate

Loved streetmate sooo many fitties 😍 @ScarlettMoffatt is the perfect host #streetmate

@ScarlettMoffatt loved streetmate, in now off for a day trip to Cardiff to find me a Harrison #STREETMATE

Was way too polished #streetmate worked because it was more spontaneous or so it seemed this is like too professional. Do it right channel 4
- Leanne Thomas (@leeleeCThomas) August 21, 2017
Harrison is my absolute goals 😩 Handsome as hell, his passion is animals, he reads books on them, has manners, & helps his nan. #streetmate
- ✨✌★ (@rockthrough) August 21, 2017
Not looking in Gregg's then for a date. Keep the "prettys" together and stop the "uglies" breeding 😁 #streetmate
- jason (@jasonchunkypie) August 21, 2017
So the general take-away seems to be: mix it up with the hopefuls, Scarlett is warm and natural so makes it look more spontaneous, and above all else... CLEAN THAT BLOODY LAPTOP SCREEN!
And this is Harrison, if you're curious:
Will she get to see his dragon or is their love extinct? 🐉 #streetmate pic.twitter.com/1GQt6oTvNb
