Scarlett Moffatt gushes over 'brothers' Ant and Dec ahead of Saturday Night Takeaway return

Scarlett Moffatt has opened up about her relationship with Ant and Dec ahead of Saturday Night Takeaway's return to ITV.

The Gogglebox star landed a presenting gig on the show last series, after becoming pals with Geordie duo Ant and Dec while in the I'm A Celebrity jungle.

Speaking ahead of the new series, Moffatt said: “They’re like the brothers I never had.

“They’re genuinely lovely, down to earth people who offer me a lot of brilliant career advice.”

Reliving the best bits of last series, Moffatt gushed: “Being Mary Poppins in the grand finale in Florida was amazing. A proper pinch me moment!

“I know things like that only happen once in a life time and being on stage alongside Ant, Dec and Cat Deeley (who stole the Crown Jewels) the three heroes I watched every Saturday on SMTV live is a moment I wish I could bottle up and give to other people as the happiness I felt was overwhelming.”

Moffatt joked that the one thing left “unfulfilled” outside of television ambitions is gaining her driving license.

She laughed: “The only thing I can never get my hands on is a driving licence, I’ve failed my driving test too many times than I care to think about.”

Saturday Night Takeaway returns to ITV on Saturday 24 February at 7pm.
