Scarlett Moffatt
Having won the public's hearts to take the Jungle crown last year, Scarlett Moffatt returns to the Outback for 2017 where she'll no doubt be right at home discussing the latest I'm A Celebrity... goings on from the comfort of a sofa.
We caught up with our reigning Jungle Queen to find out how she feels about going back to the Jungle alongside I'm A Celebrity... veteran Joe Swash and fellow Campmate Joel Dommett.
What are you most looking forward to about joining the Extra Camp team?Everything. I just can’t believe that I’m presenting on the show, it’s going to be so much fun. I’m really happy that I’m with Joel and Joe; I feel like we’re a good fun team. Also, I get to watch the show an hour before the rest of the UK!
What are you most nervous about?I’ve got good nerves, just because I hope it goes well. I really want to do a good job.
How do you feel about going back to the Jungle?I loved my Jungle experience so it’s not like I see going back as a bad thing because I had the time of my life. I’m looking forward to it being different - I’ve watched it since I was 11, and then people have watched me watch it with my Mum and Dad on Gogglebox, then I went into the Jungle as a Campmate and now I’m presenting Extra Camp. I’ll be behind the camera next, or doing the lighting!
As the current Queen of the Jungle, what advice would you give this year’s celebs?Just enjoy every minute. Even the bits that feel horrible such as doing trials, it ends up being your best day because you can look back and think, ‘Oh my god, I did that.’ So just enjoy every minute because it goes so quickly.
Would you rather cook for the whole Camp once or empty the dunny every day?I never emptied the dunny! I was the only person not to. Not out of choice but you didn’t have to do it if you were President or Vice-President so I just didn’t end up doing it and I’m a bit gutted to be honest so I would choose the dunny!
Kiosk Keith or Medic Bob?Bob, every single time. He’s such a legend.
One item will definitely be packed in your suitcase?Fake tan. Fake tan all the way.
If you could go back into Camp, would you?Yes. I want to be like Katie Price and go back in! Even though I had such a good experience there would be different people so you’d learn new things about yourself.
Who is your favourite ever Campmate?Joe Swash [laughs]. Just because he’s the first one I remember that properly got involved with all the trials and he was so positive. Even positive Campmates have their bad days but he was positive all the time. I bet he doesn’t say that I’m his favourite when he’s asked this question!
Who would be your fantasy Campmate?My fantasy Campmate is Jennifer Saunders. I think she would be so funny and good for morale; I just love her. I think she’d be quite mothering as well - she reminds me of me Mam so if I couldn’t have me Mam in, it’d be Jennifer Saunders.
Tell us something people might not know about you.Sometimes when I’m in the bath I put loads of mascara on, then I put sad Adele music on and pretend I’m in a music video. The heat makes the mascara run and I sing ‘Someone Like You’ into the mirror. It’s one of my favourite things to do!
