Scarlett Moffatt hints at proposal from policeman partner

She seems happier than ever with policeman boyfriend Scott Dobinson, telling Closer last month that she “really, really likes him”.

And now Scarlett Moffattadmits she can’t wait to spend Christmas morning with him, even hinting at a proposal in the future.

It’s a family affair this Christmas, as the pair will be splitting the day between their homes. Scarlett, 29, says, “My boyfriend is spending Christmas with his parents. I’ll see him in the morning and we will open our presents together. Then I’m going to see my family, and he’s going to see his family, and then he’s going to come and see my family and I’m going to see his family. But because we both live up north, everything is only 10 minutes away!”

Proving she’s smitten, Scarlett recently took to social media to praise Scott to her 2m followers, saying, “To the man with the kindest eyes, heart and soul. Thank you for a year to remember. I keep getting asked, ‘Is Scott The One?’, but I dare not respond for fear that I jinx it.”

Scarlett first found fame appearing on Gogglebox alongside her TV-loving family: mum Betty, dad Mark, and little sister Ava-Grace. She’s still incredibly close to her Geordie family, who recently filmed a C4 documentary together in Namibia, The British Tribe Next Door. After a hectic couple of years presenting the I’m A Celeb! spin-off show Extra Camp, Scarlett revealed she had stepped down from the role because it disrupted her Christmas, saying, “It was a conscious decision, because I’ve been in Australia for the past three years and you only get back home a couple of days before Christmas.”

Now she’s back to enjoy all of December with her family, Scarlett has gone all-out, putting up two Christmas trees in her home, and she’s looking forward to making the most of her favourite family traditions. “Mum always does this box on Christmas Eve, even though I’m 29, and she puts hot chocolate, a new mug and pyjamas and slippers in it.

“On Christmas morning, we get up early because I’m a real kid at heart. I was 15 when Ava was born, so I’ve always got up really early for it. But now we’ve got my little cousin Noah, who’s six, and he believes in Santa, so it’s nice.”

When it comes to presents, Scarlett loves treating her little sister, now 13.

“The best Christmas present that I ever gave – rather than received – was booking me and my little sister a trip to Disneyland in Paris. We still rave about it now – it was when she was 10.”

Her grandma also joins the Moffatt family for present time, but Scarlett already knows what she’ll be opening. She says, “My nan always buys me lavender gifts, even though she knows I’m allergic to lavender and I always sneeze violently when I smell it!”

Scarlett – who won I’m A Celeb! in 2016 – hit the headlines the following year after her dramatic weight loss, shrinking from a size 18 to a size 8 and shedding 3st in a few months. At the time, she claimed her new figure was down to the exercises she followed on her fitness DVD. But as the weight crept back on, she was hit by claims she’d actually lost the weight at an extreme Swiss boot camp, doing six hours of exercise a day and surviving on only 700 calories.

She later admitted that she’s happier as a size 12, and that she’d “got the balance right” for her body type. This year, she’s looking forward to indulging in her favourite Yuletide foods with her family. She reveals, “My dad makes breakfast on Christmas day – he makes fried bread. I love to eat everything on the big day. I’m a savoury person and I would rather have a stuffing ball than anything else. Pigs in blankets should be a thing all year around but because they’re only available at Christmas, you have to eat your own body weight in them before they disappear! We always have a cornflake tart, which has a cornflake base, then jam and more cornflakes, and then treacle and custard.”

On Christmas Day, the family are going to a restaurant for lunch, so there’ll be no arguments over the cooking. “We are eating out this year at a local Italian restaurant, so there will be no washing up! It does Italian food normally, but there will be turkey. We always have a big family get-together – there’s about 20 of us, and we play bingo and do quizzes.”
