She wowed us on Gogglebox, was crowned Queen of the Jungle on I'm a Celebrity, and even gave us a few laughs with Ant & Dec on Saturday Night Takeaway.

And now Scarlett Moffatt is set to prove her presenting chops with her first solo TV show... well, for a week anyway.

The reality star will be first up to present Channel 4's new series Host the Week this evening (June 22), which sees a different presenter take the reins each week.

Although the format is in the ilk of ITV's divisive The Nightly Show, we do hope it fares a bit better.

After all, the Host the Week presenters have no rehearsals, scripts or any idea about what is coming up, so it should prove an extra challenge.

The show is filmed in front of a live audience, and Scarlett will have to deliver a comedy monologue, take part in sketches, and host a game show alongside her own chat show. No pressure then.

However, she will have guidance from comic Tom Parry, so she's not being thrown in the deep end completely.

Scarlett and her family recently left Gogglebox following her I'm a Celebrity win last year and subsequent presenting gig on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. She has also signed up to front the revival of Streemate for Channel 4.

Host the Week begins tonight (June 22) on Channel 4 at 9pm.
