Scarlett Moffatt set to head back to the jungle

No bugs and other nasties for her this time though

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! winner Scarlett Moffatt could be going back to Australia for this year’s series, reports have suggested.

But this time she won’t have to eat any creepy crawlies or sleep with rats, as it’s a presenting gig she’s apparently landed.

We bet the Geordie lass is still pinching herself.

This time last year she was still sitting on a sofa watching telly on Gogglebox.

The next thing she knows, she wins I’m a Celeb, and her world is totally transformed.

Not only did she land a regular spot on TV juggernaut Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, she fronted her own comedy show on Channel 4 and, better still, landed the presenting role on Streetmate, the brilliant show that launched Davina McCall and Holly Willoughby’s careers.

With her career going from strength to strength, it seems logical that she would be snapped up for a spot of jungle presenting.

She’s said to have been lined up as a host of the ITV2 spin off, Extra Camp.

According to reports, the Geordie beauty is the number one choice for the show, which will no doubt put current host and former Jungle Queen Vicky Pattinson’s nose out of joint.

“This is a huge gig for Scarlett and one she’s worked hard to get,” a source told The Sun.

“Last year’s show was just a bit too chaotic for producers, so they wanted to switch things up.

“The current plan is to have Scarlett host the show alongside two other presenters.”

And those presenters would appear to be old favourites Stacey Soloman and Joe Swash.

Yay!

The source added: “At the moment it is most likely to see Stacey return with her boyfriend Joe as [producers] were happy with them last time round.

“It’s a massive test for Scarlett but ITV were chuffed with her in the jungle and the job she did on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway so think she’s well worth the punt.”

Aww, we couldn’t be happier for Scarlett!
