Scarlett Moffatt reveals major Saturday Night Takeaway fail after SLEEPING through wrap party

She must have been gutted!

Scarlett Moffatt has revealed she accidentally slept through the ENTIRE wrap party for Saturday Night Takeaway. Oh dear…

The former Queen of the Jungle joined Dec Donnelly and Stephen Mulhern to host the series finale of the ITV show live from Orlando, Florida on Saturday night.

It was a hugely successful show that pulled in critical acclaim and big ratings, so naturally the wrap party was going to be pretty fun.

If only Scarlett had made it!

The 27-year-old shared a sheepish message to Twitter on Sunday revealing: “When you go to bed for 7pm for a nap and wake up 12 hours late. Well, think I’ve definitely missed the wrap party.”

Um, we’d say so!

Fans were quick to send Scarlett messages saying clearly she’d needed the sleep so not to feel too bad.

One wrote: “Oh no!! You must be absolutely gutted but when you need sleep you need sleep.”

Another said: “Rock and roll life! You deserved to sleep, you were all amazing.”

A third added: “Oh no. You so deserved a great party. Get some rest lovely girl. You did a great job.”

Scarlett may have missed the wrap party, but she certainly seemed to have a brilliant time in Orlando.

She shared a photo collage to Instagram showing her posing with the Saturday Night Takeaway cast and crew, including Dec.

Her caption read: “Snapshots of this amazing week!! Memories I’ll remember forever and I feel so lucky and grateful to have.”

Scarlett also told fans: “Feel like I’ve won the lottery!! What an amazing time I’ve had!! And what a show.”

She was joined in the Florida holiday destination by boyfriend Lee Wilkinson, and shared a string of photos of the pair enjoying the sights.

Lee had a bit of a rocky start to the trip after leaving his passport at home in Newcastle when the couple’s flight to Florida left from London, but thankfully he got the document in time and the holiday could start!

The couple have shared photos over the week from Universal Orlando Florida, where Saturday Night Takeaway was filmed.

As well as visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, they were snapped at Moe’s Tavern, famous from The Simpsons.

Scarlett has said filming in Florida and being part of Saturday Night Takeaway’s show abroad was a dream come true.

And the former Gogglebox star has said she’d love to explore further work in the US.

“I think [the US is] really fun and everyone’s really friendly,” she said. “The only problem is I’m super sarcastic and I don’t know if my sarcasm would go down well. And my accent. There’s always elocution lessons! Just start talking posh all of a sudden.

“But yes I would love that – to do a James Corden.”

Saturday Night Takeaway’s series finale saw Dec once again hosting alone, as telly partner Ant McPartlin continues to take time out from TV work.

Ant returned to treatment in March after being charged with drink-driving.

Dec was supported by Scarlett and Stephen, with Hollywood actress Denise Richards serving as Guest Announcer, Craig David taking on resident DJ duties, and Jason Derulo performing the End of Show Show.

Former TOWIE star Mark Wright also popped by for a brief appearance, while The Rembrandts – famous for the Friends theme song – took part in the Singalong Live.
