AIBU?

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

What a bore she is. Truly a sleb though: utterly vacuous.

This happened with Louis Spence didn't it? Funny on Pineapple - over exposed - irritating - vanished .

Totally agree OP

Although I've been away and haven't seen her much thank God

Nothing wrong with the girl, but really nothing special.

Lucky break = flog it to death

It won't last so why not get it while she can I like her she is friendly a bit silly and enjoying herself. Vicky pattison probably hates her she thought she had the girl next door think sewn up Grin

She probably has the good sense to realise that reality TV stars normally have an 'expiry date'.

Therefore she'll be doing as much as she can and earning as much as she can, before it all comes to an end.

Good luck to her.

She's probably made more money in a year then most make in a lifetime.

Not so stupid really.

Maybe. But where does she go from here?

I may sound boring but I am so glad my DCs (all young adults) aren't into this sort of thing.

If be happy for my kids to make enough money to set them up for life.

She doesn't really have to go anywhere from here does she?

I don't think she's regained the weight but that dress she had on tonight didn't do her any favours.

No, she doesn't.

But to have fame and adulation and attention and exposure for a year or so. Then it stops. Hard to cope with when you become part of joe public again. That's why I'm glad.

No one from bishop Auckland is posh Grin

I share a beautician and nail tech with her (bishop isn't a massive area) and by all accounts she's lovely.

Yanbu, she has one of those irritating faces yet you don't know why.

Not seen her, thanks for the warning to avoid.

I like her on Ant and Dec and she always made me laugh on Gogglebox. I didn't watch I'm a Celeb. I think she has natural comic timing , seems quite quick with the funny one liners and is completely natural in front of the camera. My kids loved her.

I haven't seen Scarlett Moffatt on anything else, but then I don't watch any of the shite listed in the OP. Those kind of programs create the need for slebs so stop watching if you don't like that whole culture of popular but talentless fame.

I think she is FANTASTIC. It's lovely to see "the girl next door" making it. You can see she is genuine, honest as humble.

I'm actually shocked there is a thread that puts her down really. We are all entitled to our opinion and mine is she absolutely ROCKS and is a breath of fresh air!

She's an 'alright in small doses' kind of person, I did find her funny on gogglbox, wasn't overly keen on her in Celeb and I did roll my eyes when I went to watch Celebrity Juice and she was on it. She was a bit out of her depth on Celeb Juice when she was among proper funny people (I know MN might not share that opinion but I find CJ hilarious). She does seem to be popping up on everything at the moment.

That being said she is being savvy and making as much as possible and to that I say good luck to her.

The appeared to have gained it all. Was a bit of a nasty dig.
However on every thing else. I totally agree. You can literally get famous for anything these days. Even watching the freeekin telly.

Haven't seen her anywhere either. Hate programmes like that BUT I do know who you are talking about. She should bore off.

That Gogglebox thing must be edited, too. Her "comic timing" is probably someone else's idea of comic timing. She offers nothing and will have zero longevity.

She has already written a book. I read a sample of it on Amazon where she ranted about being expected to be slim to be accepted as a woman and how she was perfectly happy how she was, thanks very much.

And then someone obviously offered her shedloads of money to make a diet and exercise DVD. Confused

She is very clever and genuine - I knew her a long time ago but am assured she has never changed. A bright girl using the ppportunity while she can. Good luck to her.
