We've been waiting with baited breath to hear more about what new shows our favourite Geordie lass will be on.

And our prayers have been answered!

Admittedly, it's not HUGE amounts, but it's just enough to keep you going until Scarlett Moffat is back on your screen at the weekend on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway as their roving reporter.

Appearing on ITV's Lorraine - which is currently being hosted by Christine Lampard whilst actual Lorraine is in the Antarctic on a mission, Scarlett discussed the upcoming revamp of the old Channel 4 dating show Streetmate.

Scarlett, who will be stepping into the shoes of original host Davina McCall, said: "It is coming back. I'm so excited. I still remember watching it.

"I remember both Davina and Holly Willoughby doing it and they are both people I aspire to be like. They're both amazing women who make presenting look so easy when it's not.

"I can't wait. I love talking to random people. It's one of my favourite things to do. I am that person on a bus who will come and sit next to you and everyone likes a happy ending.

"I just feel like loads of people these days meet online or on dating apps so to being people together to meet face to face, that's exciting."

We're left wondering whether Scarlett will get her own happy ending after sadly breaking up with her boyfriend of a year, Luke Crodden, last month.

The pair had even moved in together in London, but a source confirmed the split to The Sun, saying: "Scarlett is sad about her break up with Luke but she really hopes they can remain friends.

"It's a positive thing that Scarlett's schedule is so busy at the moment as it will take her mind off the split."

Scarlett also opened up to Christine about how her heroes, Ant & Dec, were helping her out and guiding her in her new role as a presenter. She said: "The advice they kept giving us is to just be me. That gives me so much confidence in who I am.

"They've also been helping with autocue and talk back. I just feel very privileged."

She also added that she still gets excited about seeing the duo: "I still fan girl over Ant and Dec – I will walk in and say 'It's the real Ant and Dec'. And they say, calm down Scarlett.

"It's just so fun. It's different to anything I have done before. It's so fun with the boys, Stephen and little Ant and Dec. We are like a little family.

She went on to say how grateful she was for her newfound fame: "I don't see it as a job - I can't believe I get these opportunities. I am grasping them with both hands. It's just amazing.

"Never in a million years did I think I would be working with Ant and Dec."

N'aww, we love ya Scar!
