SCARLETT: My exes are worse than Bush Tucker trials
Gogglebox star has f ound Mr Right ...after years of dating Mr Wrongs
I’M A Celebrity’s Scarlett Moffatt has finally found her Mr Right after a string of disastrous boyfriends.
And the bubbly Geordie who rose to fame on Channel 4’ s Gogglebox is so hot on Luke Crodden she is sending secret on-screen messages to him from the jungle.
Luke’s mum Angie, who would love Scarlett to be her daughter-in-law, said: “Those two have got themselves a little sign going on.
“Luke says she’s going to do something so he knows she’s thinking of him. It’s so cute.”
Before finding l ove with hairdresser Luke this year, Scarlett, 26, dated a stripper who made jibes about her weight.
Another lad left her so furious that she sold his clothes on eBay.
And she nearly gave up on romance after an England rugby player asked her out for dinner – then took her to a KFC drivethrough. Now living with Luke, who she’s been dating for eight months, Scarlett seems to have found her Mr Right.
Angie, from Co Durham, said: “I’ve never seen my Luke happier. He’s so content.
“Until Scarlett I never even saw him really settling down but they’ve spoken about babies.
“I’ve seen such a change. He was always a lad’s lad. He liked to go out with the boys and do his
own thing. Now he’s just happy to be sitting in at home with his Scarlett. “They’re a handsomee couple and I’d be absolutely happyppy if she was my daughter-in-law.”w.” The pair started dating g in April shortly after Scarlett’s appearance on Celebrity First Dates. But Scarlett’s past st with boyfriends is almost as dramatic as a Bushtucker Trial. She said: “I went out t with a stripper for a year and a half and he used to get me to tan his back.
Delicious
“I don’t understand all ll these people who show how much they’re into the gym.
“He’d set his alarm to o wake up in the middle of the nightight to eat cottage cheese so he’d d build more muscle. And he’d goo on at me to get fit.
“He’d be like, ‘Do you think you should be eating that?’ ?’
“I’d reply, ‘ Yes becausese it’s delicious.’ ‘But you’re getting ting a bit chubby,’ he’d say.
“And I’d say, ‘Look at this face – zero interest.’
“He also wore a headband.nd. I look back now and can’tn’t believe we went out.”
Another lad who she hadad previously dated at schoolool
played rugbyru for England and invited her ou out for a meal. She says: “I go got all dressed up thinking we were going to a restaurant and we went to the KFC drivedr through. He actually asked me if I wanted to sit in or eat in the car. T That was the extent of the romance.” While Scarlett was at school she also dated a university student who she described as a “proper mam mammy’s boy” with posh parents. Scarlett said: “When I went ro round their house his mam asked me if I knew how to use a knife and for fork. “I live in a different area to t them and I don’t have any airs and gr graces but I’m aware of how cutlery wo works. “She also asked what benefit benefits my parents were on and seem seemed genuinely surprised they both w work. “His dad used to pour out expensive wine and say to me, ‘Sip it and taste it, Scarlett, don’t d down it. It cost £35.’ I didn’t give a s sh**. I’d have happily gone down the s shop and bought some Echo Falls.” The wimpish student asked his mother to end the relationship. Scarlett says: “I didn’t even g get a call from him. She rang me and said he didn’t want to be with me any more. I didn’t even feel sad bec because I thought, ‘If you don’t have the balls to actually split up with me, I’ve had a lucky escape.’
“He taught me not to make someone your everything.”
Another university boyfriend who she split up with after six months left her fuming because he was dating a new girl only a week later.
Obsessed
Scarlett said: “I was a bit offended so – and I do know this isn’t rational – I sold a pair of his shorts and a hoodie from American Apparel on eBay and then I sent him a screenshot of it. I also cut up another one of his hoodies and posted it back in pieces through his letterbox.”
Yet another boy was obsessed with his dog.
Scarlett said: “He had a Great Dane and it always came first. It used to jump up at me and nearly knock me over and instead of telling it off he used to say, ‘Isn’t he cute? I think he likes you.’
“The final straw was when we were supposed to go out for New Year and he couldn’t get a dog- sitter so he wanted to stay in instead.
“It was at that point I realised I couldn’t be second best to a dog.”
The revelations come from the TV beauty’s book, Scarlett Says. She was 16 when she had her first proper boyfriend.
She recalls: “He was 15 but covered in tattoos and they said he was the hardest lad in school.”
But Scarlett’s mum Betty wasn’t impressed and thought he looked like Herman Munster from telly’s The Addams Family.
Before finding love with Luke she said: “Boyfriends are not all they’re cracked up to be.
Rocky
“Someone should start a business where you can come hire a part-time boyfriend for a Sunday night.
“They can come over around lunchtime and then leave about 9pm and be like, ‘See you next Sunday!’ That would suit me.”
Scarlett and Luke are now living together in Newcastle upon Tyne, despite a few rocky moments.
In September Luke made his debut on the Gogglebox couch.
Fans of the fly-on-the-wall show, which shows viewers’ reactions as they watch current TV programmes, took to Twitter to praise his good looks.
