How cool is that?

Talking to The Sun about the amazing opportunity she said: “I’ve watched Saturday Night Takeaway with my family for as long as I can remember.

“I’m such a huge fan, so to be part of one of the biggest entertainment shows out there, with two of my all-time TV heroes Ant and Dec, is an absolute dream.

“I am so excited. I didn’t think 2016 could be topped but I really can’t wait for my Saturday nights now.”

Let’s spare a quick thought for Ashley Roberts, though, who has been co-presenting the show since winning I’m A Celeb back in 2012.

TV insiders have said that Scarlett will be make an amazing replacement.

“She’ll be a big hit with the viewers and will be great fun for them to work with, too.

“Her humour is exactly what’s needed and having another Geordie on the show is just a bonus.”

It doesn’t stop there though! No, no no…

The 26-year-old will ALSO be taking charge of a rebooted version of dating show Streetmate, which was originally presented by Davina McCall in 1998.

Talking about landing the role, she said: “I remember watching Davina on Streetmate when I was younger and thinking: ‘Females can present entertainment shows too, I want to do that when I’m older.’

She told The Sunday Mirror: “It’s such a fun show and it’s two of my favourite things to do, chat to randomers and a love story.”

Is there ANYTHING she can’t do?
