To be sick of seeing Scarlett Moffatt (formerly of gogglebox.)

When she was part of a genial Geordie family on gogglebox, I thought she was cute, and quite funny.

Then she won 'I'm a celebrity.'

Now, every time I turn on the tv she is THERE.

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway
Celebrity Juice - (I know, terrible programme, but DH watches it!)
Virtually Famous
This Morning
Lorraine
Celebrity First Dates
Big Brother's Bit on the side.

In addition, she has a weightloss dvd (where she lost 2 stone and dropped 3 dress sizes with the help of a trainer!) Though she appears to regained it all.

And she is writing a book (yawn...)

And now rumour has it that she is in line to present a new channel 4 chat show. Confused

She was cute in gogglebox, pretty good to watch in I'm a celeb, but on Ant and Dec, she is quite amateurish - probably because she has zero experience presenting. Heaven knows what her chat show is going to be like! Shock

I feel she is going to end up burnt out within the next year. I mean it's good that she's making money, and she seems pleasant, but jeeez I am sick of seeing her face now. Confused

I like her.

Writerwannabe83 · 25/03/2017 20:12

I totally agree OP.

ShowMePotatoSalad · 25/03/2017 20:12

She's already got a book published.

YANBU. I liked her on Gogglebox too but anyone who is overexposed gets tiresome and annoying. It's a shame.

Trumpssyrup · 25/03/2017 20:13

Me too I think she's cute!

sonyaya · 25/03/2017 20:16

Can't stand her.

Dontactlikeyouknowme · 25/03/2017 20:17

Good on her. Cash in while you can I say.

Like I said, I don't dislike her, she is cute and all, and I loved her on gogglebox. However, she is being played to death now (so to speak.) Reminds me of the bloomin' Spice Girls when they found fame suddenly, and they were EVERYWHERE!

The phrase 'you can have too much of a good thing' springs to mind.

I fear that this time next year, she will be burnt out, and no-one will want her. So I hope she saves all the money she is making now.

She's just cashing in whilst she can. Fair play to her. I'd mentally wish her well. Her career may well be limited.

Marmalade85 · 25/03/2017 20:19

I was only aware of her when I was on mat leave. Now I'm back at work I don't hear anything.

honeyroar · 25/03/2017 20:20

She was fine on Gogglebox, but I had no idea why she won I'm a Celeb, and she's already got boring as a "celeb" on all these shows.

JaneJeffer · 25/03/2017 20:27

Adam should have won I'm a Celebrity. I don't really watch many of these shows but DS2 just commented yesterday that she's on everything!

MimsyFluff · 25/03/2017 20:31

I hated her stupidity on gogglebox she's cashing in while she can

Dontactlikeyouknowme · 25/03/2017 20:32

I don't think she's stupid. I think she's quite clever.

StillDrivingMeBonkers · 25/03/2017 20:34

Does your television not have an on/off button?

expatinscotland · 25/03/2017 20:39

She looked awful when she was so thin. It really doesn't suit some people. Josie Gibson is another who looks haggard.

When she was part of a genial Geordie family on gogglebox, I thought she was cute, and quite funny.

People from Bishop Auckland are not Geordies. Its like calling people from Maidenhead cockneys!

I agree she is everywhere though!

MuncheysMummy · 25/03/2017 20:41

She was on a reality program before Gogglebox a few years ago about trainee beauticians!

SophieGiroux · 25/03/2017 20:42

I prefer her on SNT to that pussycat doll last year, could not stand her!

pootlepootle · 25/03/2017 20:44

you saying bishop auckland's geet posh?

HelloDeer · 25/03/2017 20:45

I can't stand her! She came across as very attention seeking on I'm a Celebrity, and always managed to make every situation about her. I think the ditsy, cutesy behaviour is all an act too.

troodiedoo · 25/03/2017 20:46

Agree. She seems like a nice girl but I'm a celeb was blatantly set up for her to win and be itvs pet.

Anyone can do OK with ant and Dec carrying the show. Can't see her doing stand alone presenting.

Rather see her than other reality dingbats on prime time though.

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 25/03/2017 20:46

She's just cashing in while she can... I would too!

ZilphasHatpin · 25/03/2017 20:49

Good on her. Cash in while you can I say.

^this!! There'll be another Scarlett nipping at her heels in no time (because she hasn't actually got a workable talent other than that she is likeable) and her phone will stop ringing. She's just trying to make as much money as she can while it's an option. I don't blame her.

brickinitIam · 25/03/2017 20:50

I agree.
On Gogglebox she is hilarious.
but out in the real world?
Not so funny.

I do love her on Gogglebox though.

saladcreamwitheverything · 25/03/2017 20:56

YABU watching the shite that is Gogglebox... 😶😳😆. And any other show that churns out these so called slebs. But she and the others are making hay while the sun shines (and people keep watching this crap to encourage them) and you can't knock her for that 😊
