She's already won the jungle

| Updated:

TV presenter Scarlett Moffatt dreams of appearing on Strictly Come Dancing‘ – but she doesn’t think it’ll ever happen.

The 29-year-old presenter – who has previously starred on shows like Gogglebox and I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! – thinks she’s basically ruled herself out of contention by previously discussing her dancing experience.

Asked about the possibility of appearing on the BBC show, Scarlett shared to TV Times: “I would honestly love to do it, it’s my dream.

“But I feel like it’s never going to happen because I’ve openly talked about the fact that I danced a lot growing up.”

However, if Scarlett does get picked she knows exactly who she wants her pro partner to be.

“I’d love to be partnered with Anton (Du Beke) he’s such a lovely man and he’s like the master of that show because he’s been on it right from the start. Who knows, I’ll keep trying my hardest!”

Scarlett is similarly enthusiastic about the new series of Love Island.

And the TV star admitted she’ll be glued to the ITV show throughout the summer.

She added: “I’m obsessed with it. I apologise in advance to all my friends because the minute that’s back on I’m going to be glued to my TV.”

The star went onto reveal she “loved” Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer last year and that she’s “excited” to see the brother of Strictly’s AJ Pritchard, Curtis, on it this year.

Scarlett recently hit back at body shamers by sharing a picture she’d previously been too embarrassed to post.

She told fans that life’s too short to worry about it after facing up to the impact that trolls had on her mental health.

She shared an image – which you can see here – from an appearance on ITV2 on her Instagram account that was previously slammed online by some vile commenters who called Scarlett “fat”.

The attacks on 29-year-old Scarlett proved so distressing the popular presenter was left in tears over her appearance and reluctant to leave her home.

However, she has defiantly told her 2million Insta followers she will no longer pay attention to haters – and urged everyone to be comfortable with their bodies.

Captioning the pic, Scarlett said: “I used to avoid this photo, it would upset me because even thinking about this moment where I got trolled for the way I looked reminded me of the state of depression it sent me in to the point where I didn’t even want to leave the house!

“But I don’t think that looking at this photo now! NOW I see a young girl living her best life appearing on a show she loves, showing off her best assets and her curves.”

She continued: “The truth is we have to be happy within ourselves, our brain is the most important thing we have to look after!

“Our bodies are beautiful no matter what anybody tries to tell us or persuade us to think.

“Throw your middle finger up to anyone who tells you you’re too thin, too fat, your stretch marks are ugly, your body isn’t the right shape, your boobs are too small, too big, your bum’s too flat or too fat or you’re too fake!

“Don’t listen to them. LOVE YOURSELF BECAUSE LIFE IS TOO SHORT.”

Within hours, Scarlett’s passionate plea had attracted over a hundred thousand Likes and comments from supporters – with many celebrity pals giving their backing to her urging people to be kind to themselves.

“❤,” Amanda Holden stated, simply.
