Scarlett was likely desperate to sleep as well, after starting a gruelling training regime on Tuesday, ahead of the Great North Run.

The former Gogglebox favourite shared a photo to Instagram Stories on Tuesday afternoon after completing her first training session.

And with her thumbs up pose, we’re guessing it went well!

Scarlett is running in aid of a local charity, telling fans: “Excited to announce I’m the ambassador for a local northern charity the Angel Trust, on thinking of ways I could raise money, I’m pushing myself to the extreme & doing something I’ve actually never done before (running) & not just a little run the half marathon.”

She later said: “Really looking forward to it (not gonna lie I’m super nervous and scared also ha) but gonna start my training today. 20 weeks and counting.”

The star has asked fans for advice, with many getting touch to share their own tips and experiences.

Many told Scarlett to use an app to track her progress, while others told her not to be disheartened if she hits a tough patch.

Some also advised she join a local running club and meet up with others to keep her motivated.

Other suggestions including listening to a podcast or good music while running, focus on getting into a good mindset, and to ensure she has a realistic programme to follow that fits in with her lifestyle.
