Scarlett Moffatt hails Gemma Collins ahead of I’m A Celebrity SA
Moffatt calls Gemma Collins an icon and looks forward to reuniting with Ant & Dec in the I'm A Celebrity all-stars in South Africa.
Scarlett Moffatt says she can’t wait to return to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here for the all-stars series in South Africa, and she’s excited to give Ant and Dec a big hug when the show rolls back into the jungle. She also hailed Gemma Collins as an icon, saying she’d love to share the camp with her again.
The 35-year-old, who first rose to fame on Gogglebox and was crowned Queen Of The Jungle in 2016, is proudly from Co Durham and recalled how, when she first moved to London, Ant and Dec were kind and invited her round for Sunday dinners. She laughed that people say you shouldn’t meet your heroes, but for her, meeting Ant and Dec was a warm, relatable moment.
Collins is among the stars entering the jungle in the second series of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, which has already been pre-recorded. Moffatt revealed that one of her ideal campmates would be the reality star who left the original series early in 2014, highlighting the enduring appeal of former contestants and the chance for new, high-energy dynamics in the all-star lineup. She’ll be sharing the screen with other returning faces, including actor Adam Thomas and soap star Beverley Callard, as fans tune in to see who thrives in the revived format.
Moffatt’s upbeat outlook centers on reconnecting with the beloved presenting duo, and on the possibility of celebrating a renewed camaraderie in the camp. Her excitement underscores the enduring pull of the show for UK audiences who love the banter, challenge moments, and the chance to see familiar faces back in the jungle.
