Scarlett Moffatt Dubbed the ‘Real’ I’m A Celeb Winner After Landing Huge TV Deal – But Was She Robbed of Her Spot in the Final?
Scarlett Moffatt may have missed out on the final of I’m A Celebrity South Africa after her elimination on Thursday, but the pregnant star has just been crowned the real winner after securing a massive TV deal with ITV. Fans are already calling her the true champion, as her TV career skyrockets after her time on the show.
At 35, Scarlett, who was voted off after failing to win a trial, may not have made the final cut alongside the likes of Mo Farah, Harry Redknapp, Adam Thomas, and Craig Charles—but she has already captured the hearts of viewers and been handpicked by ITV for their next big project.
In an exclusive interview, Scarlett shared her excitement about what’s next. “It’s been a whirlwind recently,” she admitted. “It feels like the first time I came out of the jungle ten years ago. The same things are happening all over again.”
After becoming Queen of the Jungle in 2016, Scarlett quickly became a household name, co-hosting Saturday Night Takeaway, rebooting Davina McCall’s Streetmate, and taking on I’m a Celeb spin-off Extra Camp. But after welcoming her first son, Jude, in 2023, Scarlett took a break from the spotlight—until now.
As her second pregnancy progresses, Scarlett has her hands full, but she’s loving every moment. “I’ve got something exciting coming up with ITV,” she teased. “And I just did a photoshoot in Barcelona!”
Though Scarlett didn’t make it to the final four, viewers were left disappointed as they voiced frustration over her early exit. Some fans even took to social media to say they felt she was robbed of a spot in the final. “I wanted Scarlett to win! She’s a genuine person and was so fun in camp,” one wrote, echoing the sentiments of many fans.
In the chaotic finale, Scarlett expressed her disappointment, saying, “I’m gutted it’s four blokes left. I wanted to do it for the girls! I’ll let them enjoy their football chat around the table.”
Looking back on her time in the jungle, Scarlett reflected on how much she has changed since her first stint. “Last time, I felt a bit like an imposter,” she shared. “This time, I went in with a stronger sense of who I am. I just enjoyed it and wasn’t as intimidated.”
Despite being eliminated early, Scarlett’s impact on I’m A Celeb is undeniable, and her upcoming projects have her fans buzzing. From heartwarming moments to hilarious jungle banter, she’s proven she’s a true fan favorite.
With a glowing future ahead, Scarlett is proving that there’s much more to come for the real winner of I’m A Celeb.
