Scarlett Moffatt before: How did she start her weight loss journey?

Scarlett decided to take things slow and steady when it came to her approach to losing weight. Given that she used to train as a ballroom dancer, Scarlett decided to reignite her regular exercise routine, which she had given up to go to university."It was really intense training but... I stopped when I was a student and discovered alcohol and kebabs, and I've never found any exercise to replace it."The 25 year old also admitted that she was just going to cut back on eating all the "wrong things" all the time.Atta girl!

According to the star, there wasn't one! Yep, Scarlett simply changed her outlook towards food.

Scarlett Moffatt's battle with body shamers

Behind her perky personality, Scarlett revealed that she suffered as a result of online bullies. Although Gogglebox has helped catapult her extremely 'normal' life into the public eye, fame has definitely had its downsides, something that Scarlett has experienced first-hand.Mostly targeting her weight (and her tan), Scarlett has admitted that the constant trolling on social media has definitely taken its toll.She told the Belfast Telegraph: "People have said: 'You're that fat you should just go and die.'"There are odd ones, mostly men, who criticise me about my weight and size and say I'm ugly. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt sometimes."Scarlett also admitted that she gets more distressed by how the vile comments affect her parents, Mark and Betty, who also appear on the show - especially as she was also viciously bullied as a young child."My mum's cried about stuff she's read about me, so I end up putting on a brave face because I don't want her to be upset," she said.

Even after getting into shape, Scarlett was the target of online vitriol when she was body shamed yet again – this time for being 'too thin'. You just can't win with some people!She previously opened up to The Sun about the bullying she experienced as a child, which was so bad that the school let her leave ten minutes before anyone else. She said: "From aged 12 I just didn't like life. I didn't have the best time, really."But if I hadn't had those experiences at school, then I probably wouldn't be here. If I had just tried to fit in, I wouldn't be the weirdo that I am now."Despite losing weight, Scarlett has always championed positive body image and is a firm believer in the saying 'if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all.'She's famously hit back at Katie Hopkins and Kelvin Mackenzie who have made endless cruel jokes about her weight.

Scarlett Moffatt DVD sham claims

Things took an awful turn for Scarlett Moffatt amid claims that her weight loss DVD was a sham.It's reported that she lost three stone after attending a bootcamp in Switzerland and ate only 700 calories a day.The Sun obtained text messages where she allegedly said to a friend of hers: "I wanted to make an honest DVD this doesn't feel right (crying emoji)."It's even been claimed that the TV star might have to repay the producers of her DVD £100,000 as she didn't keep the weight she lost off for a year.

But it's now been revealed that Lee really was cheating on Scarlett - with his ex-girlfriend.

The ex, Samantha Irving, has come forward and spoken to the Mirror about what's been going on for the past few months... And basically, Scar was TOTALLY right to put him in the bin.

Sam, who was dating Lee for two years before he was with Scarlett, has claimed that she and Lee were still seeing each other in January - despite he and Scarlett making things official last December.

Even though he's denied there was any crossover, Sam told the publication that their relationship was on and off "because he is a liar and a cheater," adding: "I stupidly kept giving him other chances but I was seeing Lee up until January, but it all came out about Scarlett that she’d been seeing Lee through December."

As soon as Sam found out about Scarlett, she cut off all contact with him and blocked his number.

But while he was papped looking all loved-up with Scarlett in Orlando for the Saturday Night Takeaway finale at the beginning of April, he allegdely desperately contacted Sam by email and called her from a withheld number.

Email? Who does that?

ANYWAY.

Sam told the paper that Lee was "crying down the phone" that he was "unhappy" with Scarlett, adding that he'd told her he "just needed to hear" Sam's voice and that he'd asked why she didn't "beg for him back."

She added: "On the phone when he was crying and saying she wasn’t me, I can’t look at photos of you because it’s ripping my heart out.

"I actually felt a bit sorry for him so I unblocked him on WhatsApp and all the messages piled up."

In messages given to the Mirror, Lee can apparently be seen telling Sam that he's "so sorry" and that he still loved her, causing Sam to explode with fury.

Sam revealed that he tried to meet up with her, but couldn't because he was meant to be going on a second holiday to Florida with Scarlett.

She said: "She was paying for the whole thing for him and he just uses people, it’s disgraceful."

Sam had had enough, taking screenshots of the messages and sending them to Scarlett, with the two scorned women seeming to bond over their shared terrible experience.

It was a day after this message exchange that Scarlett spoke out about "pathological liars" on her Instagram account, announcing her split from Lee.
